I gave up on doing corners and edges. I just started to use the steam Swifter Sweeper and swear that my floors get cleaner and it does do corners and edges. And it is definitely not noisy. Hope this helps.

Does fairly well on corners and edges. Have no idea of there is another that's not so noisy. Noise seems about the same as a machine we have to clean rugs.

I think this works much better on carpet. It cleans my area rugs far better than it cleans my laminate and wood floors. It does pick up a fair amount, but not along edges or in corners. I also get the pushing dirt effect another user mentioned.

Technically, yes. But the beater/roller head does NOT turn off, so when you use it on wood floor or tile, it is still rolling so the vacuum ends up sucking up some of the dirt, but not all. A lot of dirt and particulate matter is just kicked around the room. You have to go over areas at least three or four times to get it decently clean. This is inefficient, in my opinion. About 50% of my flooring is wood or tile, and while I love what this vacuum does on carpet, I am underwhelmed and annoyed with how it performs on wood or tile floors. (My next vacuum will be something that performs better in this area). Technically, yes.

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

I have a cat, and ceramic tile floors. A lot of hair/fuzz collects in corners. It picks it up and holds it until I go out and shake it out.

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

Yes it does. Tip: make sure you smooth it around the edges and hold it in place while it molds to the edges/curves so that it doesn't pull away. It tended to pull away on the corners. I was a little disappointed.

It's got this little brush that extends out from it that rotates and sweeps corners. Trust me I was skeptical at first but it does a great job.

It does good on hardwood, I use a broom for hard to get corners and such and the vacuum for the rest

No, it does not. I have mine on carpet so it doesn't matter, but I don't know how well it would do on tile or hardwood floors.

I haven't had any problems with corners, I assume you're talking about the 90 degree corners in a rectangular room, not nooks like behind a toilet. The steam seems to spread pretty evenly. That's just my experience; haven't really had any problems with the cleaning aspect. See my review for more details about other issues.

Hi there, it is perfect for tile floor. I don't have any rugs in my home, just the ones in the bathrooms which I prefer to take out when Roomba goes to work. It does make a noise but it's not loud enough to be annoying. And if you schedule it to clean when you're not home you don't even have to hear it. Yes, it does return to the docking station automatically when it finishes the job. It's actually nice to schedule it to clean when you're not home, and then come home after work and find Roomba in its docking station and your house perfectly clean :) However you need to try a few laps under your supervision first, before leaving Roomba alone, to identify where are the places it could get stuck into (like a bunch of wires lying on the floor or some higher thresholds) and then put the perfect program in place using the virtual walls. It comes with 2 virtual walls that you can use to block some areas in the house if you like. One other thing it can't do when you're not home is clean in the corners behind an open door, because if it touches the door and the door closes, then Roomba is stuck in that room. So I leave all the doors open with door stoppers and then just clean behind the doors with a cloth if needed. All in all it is of great help, I love it because I have 4 dogs and I need to vacuum every other day. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

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.

I have not cleaned any textured floors but it does come with many brush attachments that might be able to help you clean a textured floor.

It has flexible bristles get around kick toes ok, corners are not as good. I have not found a broom good for corners,I use vacuum for corners. It is the best broom I have had for dust and animal hair.

No, it does not scratch the wooden floors. It does a beautiful job cleaning them, and is so quiet.
