how well does the floor head work on edges?

Unfortunately, this vacuum doesn't get any closer to edges than any other I've owned. One thing I will mention is that the vinyl covering on the handle wore off after only a few months. I decided not to notify Amazon about this as I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it.

There is a little rubber edge that gives it some grip to the floor. because our drain is the lowest point in the shower, unless you make an effort to kick it, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue for us. Hair does seem to flow under the edge though.

It works fine on a textured floor. We use swiffer floor pads on it, works great.

It doesn't seem to. Getting the head close to underneath cabinets is amost impossible. It just deposits the "dirt" close to the edge, and I have to clean it with a brush or cloths. The head also doesn't clean caked-on dirt, have to do it manually.

It works well on tile and floors, I have used the hose in corners and edges but I have been pleased. No dog so I can't tell you about dog hair but its great with Christmas tree needles.

I have a limited amount of "hard" floors. However, it does a good job with what I have and doesn't mar the surface.

I had one years ago that I ran on my Laminate floors with no problems. The new one I have now runs on soft tile squares and still I have had no problems. Just make sure you keep the rollers clean of debris and you should love it.

Angles aren't a problem at all because the Roomba can follow walls and the edges of furniture. While it does have some degree of logic, it pretty much just bounces off every surface in every direction until it gets the job done. I have a small apartment with too much furniture and it rarely has issues. Once in a while, I'll find it stranded and out of charge at the far end of the apartment but that's most likely because I don't have a lighthouse for it to find its way home reliably. Aside from that, I'd say it works well in any space as long as there aren't things on the floor that can get wrapped around the rollers. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made and I will absolutely buy another one when Roombie croaks.

To answer your question specifically, no, the machine cannot go flush up against the baseboard and into corners because the cleaning brushes are recessed a small distance from the front edge of the machine. There is also a small area on either side of a threshold when moving from one room to another which the machine doesn't clean very well. This happens with a change from one flooring material to another (i.e., vinyl to tile, vinyl to wood, wood to marble). But, overall, these baseboard, corner and threshold areas are small enough that I can use a soft cleaning tool such as a mop or sponge, to my satisfaction. I hope this helps. Judy

I have used it on laminate floors with only only one problem and that was with a gouge from my piano. The laminate lifted a bit when I steamed it.

If you properly score the tile, as evidenced by a ripping sound as you draw the score over the tile, all you need to do is push down on the handle, which puts pressure on the two sides of the score along the raised edge that is under the tile. As long as you keep it in place, it is pretty straightforward. I even used it to cut tiny corner pieces with no problem.

As long as it's close to the front edge, it will be fine. Mine is set up similar and works great !

No...it is the right shape...but it curls up on the edges...it is sturdy but would never be flush to the floor.

There are no rough edges so it should not scratch your floors. I have hardwoods and it moves around fine. Also it is very light and can be lifted easily although sturdy enough that it won't tip over at all. Highly recommended.

Theoretically, the head is fully self-adjusting and the brush roller should compensate. I use mine on concrete floors without any issue.

Have this on floating floor second level. It works well for me. pretty good considering I got thin hardwood. For the price it is A great deal. I used the styrofoam time for another project and this is way better.

I have it all over my floors and it is great. You have to tape down the edges so it won't slide but then you can even vacuum it.
