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