It s a small computerized cleaner that nips round your house automatically brushing and vacuuming the carpets rugs and floors.
What does roomba do with small rugs.
A cheap roomba tends to have a difficult time transitioning from hardwood to rugs or to another surface.
Place the large rug within 12 inches of the walls on all sides or place it in the middle where it stops several inches away from all the furniture.
I would recommend picking up a fuzzy fringy rug before launching the roomba.
I behaves the same way a regular vacuum would if you come in from the wrong angle.
How does it work.
Should you buy one.
And also earlier roomba models such as the 400 and 600 series had bristle rollers and the bristles got caught on the carpet fibres.
Plush area rugs can be comfortable to walk on but they often act as a traps for a robot vacuum.
So yes roomba being carpet friendly actually works on them and do the needful.
Roomba can easily handle not only the hard floor but the high pile floor areas as well.
Rugs can be the roomba s worst enemy if you are using a cheaper model.
But a roomba s problems with rugs does not stop there.
So does roomba actually work on thick pile flooring.
They are designed especially to meet the requirements of thick carpet and make them dirt and dust free.
When roomba finishes the housework it docks itself in this recharging station and charges up its batteries ready for next time.
No doubt you are asking yourself which model is the best roomba for carpet.
Is it any good.
This way it doesn t look like the room is crowding the rug.
Let s take a closer look.
We are 100 sure that our top 3 models will perfectly handle everything from pet hair on the thick carpet to small debris.
I discuss two other rug issues in later sections.
If you do not have a large rug don t put any rugs out until you can buy one.
Several rugs make a small room look crowded.
We do believe that after this review you can simply answer yes it actually works.
Either that or roll the edge up in a way to let to roomba think it hit a wall.
Few robots can cross rugs that are woven from long fibers or even ones that have tassels without.
