I have two roomba discoveries and niether one of them would roll over black color lines in any of my area rugs.
How to keep roomba off rug.
Clean these by brushing them with a dry cloth.
The roomba s ability to perform on rugs is limited and other than the s9 i7 i7 and the 900 series models older models may struggle to pull out the dirt and debris from 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 this happens the dust on the rug is.
When you take the bin off of the roomba you ll be able to see the brushes the roomba uses.
Plush area rugs can be comfortable to walk on but they often act as a traps for a robot vacuum.
They would stop at the edge of the black and change direction as if they detected a step or ledge.
Few robots can cross rugs that are woven from long fibers or even ones that have tassels without.
I contacted irobot customer support.
Using roomba on a thick carpet is not worth it it will be so low and ineffective.
When you use the roomba on a thick rug or carpet the beater will flip open the carpet tile a lot better.
A friend lent me a robomaid to try and within a few mins it got tangled in the rug.
Keep an eye on your roomba near stairs.
Roomba avoids black color pattern on rugs.
