A friend lent me a robomaid to try and within a few mins it got tangled in the rug.
How to keep roomba off rug.
Clean these by brushing them with a dry cloth.
I contacted irobot customer support.
Keep an eye on your roomba near stairs.
When you use the roomba on a thick rug or carpet the beater will flip open the carpet tile a lot better.
I have two roomba discoveries and niether one of them would roll over black color lines in any of my area rugs.
I am looking at getting a irobot roomba 880 to keep my downstairs clean 2 youg kids make alot of mess most of it is polished porcelain tiles but i have a large 2 x 3m thick shag pile rug in the lounge room.
When you take the bin off of the roomba you ll be able to see the brushes the roomba uses.
If you have an area rug with tassels or that s made out of shag you might want to remove it before you use your roomba.
With only a few points i ll tell you why you can t you the roomba on thick carpets.
Plush area rugs can be comfortable to walk on but they often act as a traps for a robot vacuum.
For the robot to do a deep clean it must have powerful suction that could siphon off all the dust and debris hiding under the threads of the rug or carpet.
Roomba avoids black color pattern on rugs.
Few robots can cross rugs that are woven from long fibers or even ones that have tassels without.
Using roomba on a thick carpet is not worth it it will be so low and ineffective.
