View on amazon the roomba s9 s9 is the latest vacuum from irobot and the best roomba we have seen so far.
Robot vacuum rug fringe.
I would recommend picking up a fuzzy fringy rug before launching the roomba.
I have two obstacles.
My foyer has a 5 x 7 ft rug with fringe let me go measure the fringe ok the fringe is 2 1 2 inches long.
I sweep every effing day and i need a robot vacuum to take care of the hair.
So at least based on a 2 1 2 inch long fringe it does a great job.
As long as the strands on the carpet aren t long it should work fine.
To start this vacuum has a d shape design that allows it to clean the wall edges efficiently.
I behaves the same way a regular vacuum would if you come in from the wrong angle.
It was released this year and took over from the irobot i7 but while the i7 sacrifices power and runtime the s9 packs all the features you d want from a carpet robot vacuum.
Not that it went away but decorative edging on rugs fell out of favor in our household.
The rug fringe and a small half inch jump to the kitchen.
Roomba does it no harm.
Roomba 600 series robot vacuums have two counter rotating brush rolls mounted in a suspension system a design that makes the bot a more effective cleaner on thicker rugs.
Roomba the automated vacuum that s otherwise been a big hit here choked on the strings.
Roomba goes over it and depending on which direction it is heading it might make a strip stand up but it does fine.
Your robot vacuum would most likely have a hard time dealing with carpet fringes especially if they are longer than a few inches.
Few robots can cross rugs that are woven from long fibers or even ones that have tassels without.
Either that or roll the edge up in a way to let to roomba think it hit a wall.
I can always cut off the fringe but i didn t really want to.
Plush area rugs can be comfortable to walk on but they often act as a traps for a robot vacuum.
