Does the Roomba get stuck on area rug tassels? Thanks.

No. The informational video that is with the photos shows the Roomba rolling along a hardwood floor then transitioning to an area carpet with tassels. The tassel's are not pulled into the machine at all.

I have an area rug that is shag which i have no problem using it on it. The suction just lifts it so i need to have someone stand on the other end of the rug

I've got 2 of these. One for the 1st floor and one for the 2nd (Yeah, I know - I'm too lazy to carry the thing up and down the stairs). I have hardwood floors throughout and 9 different area/throw rugs scattered about. Haven't had any significant issues. Though if the rug has long tassels, I could see them potentially getting tangled in the brush. Another potential issue is if the rug is unusually deep (like a heavy shag), it might have some trouble making the transition from floor to rug.

Not really. Mine gets stuck too. Not much you can do but pull it off and reposition. It doesn't happen all the time. Maybe the manufacturer has a solution.

I usually use my Dustbuster on bathroom rugs, or shake them. So I got my Dyson out & tried it. It pulled the small rug when I pulled the vacuum toward me, but the rug didn't roll up into the floor piece.

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues. Regards, Duane

Same here. Wood and I have oriental rugs too. Depending on the size of the rug it may get stuck. On one of my smaller rugs this happens. On a yet smaller rug but sturdy one it hops on and off no problem. On a large rug I have in the dining room it sometimes hops on and sometimes it just moves along the edge. Bottom line is you have to monitor it. Or roll up the rug.

Mine has been doing the same thing. I just bought it this week. The floor is soaked underneath. It looks like the steam comes and out and goes right down to the rug, no matter which way I position it. I'm taking it back to target.

No if you are using the canned foam. I vacuum my rug before cleaning, then scrub in the foam as directed and let dry. After your rug is dry vacuum again and you're finished. I did find that the foam had a strong odor so you may wish to have good ventilation while using.

i have had no problems with the side wheels. The brushes are another matter: I need to de-hair on a regular basis. Also the roller ball in front frequently is clogged with hair which prevents the roomba from docking properly.

There is a removable platter on the bottom. It disengages and you can clean it. There are no rotating brushes like the Roomba but there are fixed bristles on the removable platter. Part of the floor scrub is it kind of wiggles across the floor. If you have a lot of small granule particulate, the "suck up" section gets clogged pretty quickly. But, I let it roll for about 20 minutes then dump old water, fill with new water and clean off the bottom platter.

Yes. I've found it somewhat difficult to unlatch at times... But for a myriad of other reasons, I just use my Shark Navigator instead. I really hate my Dyson at this point.

I have several area rugs and the vacuum cleans them well and does not "over-suck" them and get caught in the rollers. If you are talking bath mats style lightweight mats - I haven't the experience.

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. The walker gets stuck on every rug I have. I still think it's the best walker out there. I'm really happy with it!

This vacuum might be too strong for area rugs because if the edges of the rug isn't glued down, it will get stuck in the roller/beater bar. You should definitely not use this vacuum if you have an area rug with tassels because they will get stuck inside the roller bar. This vacuum is best for wall to wall carpeting. It is extremely powerful.

Well I dont have mines on a rug, mines is on a hardwood floor. But you can set it on a rug with no problem. Actually that would be better b/c you dont have to worry about scratgching your floor.

I have a 1200 SQ foot home and in the beginning I would run the Roomba throughout the entire house - now I confine it to specific rooms just to be more thorough. I find that in a specific room, once the Roomba is done, it will attempt to dock. I usually dock it for a moment and then put it in the next room - rinse and repeat. I feel this is best so I don't have to put away lose items throughout the entire house, but just specific rooms that I want done.
