We have wood floors and area rugs... Will the roomba transition from wood to rug easily and will it vacuum the hard wood floor sufficiently?

I have had no issues with the Roomba making transitions from wood to rugs. I occasionally use the regular vacuum for the rugs, because it is more powerful.

I don't remember it being good at this (has a hard time going over the lip of the rug depending on thickness). I would also warn if you have fringe that can be an issue as well. Save your $$ - it will only last about a yr or so and then it will no longer work due to a battery issue or technical defect. I had one, they replaced it within a yr and that one died as well...It's still hanging on the wall of my laundry room.

I also have tile & wood floors with area rugs. Fringe has to be combed and it depends on how thick the area rug is. The roomba works for me but I don't have much traffic or pets that shed.

I dont have wood floors, but all tile because we live near the beach and it does a great job on sand and dog hair. It does go over most area rugs, but not if they have the trim that can catch in the roomba. ie indian rugs that need the trim combed. Hope this helps.

mine passes through wood and rug pretty easily. It wont vacuum the hard wood as sufficiently as it does on rugs, but still not bad.....

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. It works ok on the floors but the only con about the machine is no floor attachment to really hug the floor. I still wouldnt trade it for any other machine. It really picks up pet hair well. I use the plastic wand pieces to get along the edges of my floors.

Really well, my house has all hardwood floors with linoleum in the kitchen. We have several area rugs as well, but for the most part just wood. The vacuum transitions really well from wood to the area rugs or any surface. I am very pleased with how well it works on the wood.

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

Yes. There is a button you push, which adapts the vacuum for hardwoods. It works quite well. We have hardwoods in several areas and am pleased with the performance. I hope this helps.

It slides smoothly in carpet but I would not recommend this to vacuum your carpet unless it is an area rug. I highly recommend this for a hard floor.

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

I think it will really struggle with rugs. I would spend the extra on a roomba. I had to return one of these because it would struggle switching surfaces.

It works very very well. I have hard wood floors and carpets. Absolutely no problem.

It should. A lot depends on the amount of floor space that you're trying to vacuum at one time. I personally break my house into smaller zones so that the robot does a more efficient job. My first floor for example is about 1000 sq ft, and I use invisible walls and lighthouses to break that into two sections. Our cat (and wife) sheds and the robot does a fine job picking up the hair. Although admittedly you will spend some time after each use pulling hair out of the brushes. A minor annoyance given the convenience.

Yes, I primarily have hardwood floors, but we have a number of large rugs and it doesn't have a problem moving to and from both (doesn't get stuck either.) I have also used it in a house with carpet and I have used it in a house with hardwoods. Hope this helps!

I have wood floors with area rugs and this vacuum works beautifully on both surfaces. It is easy to adjust the setting for each surface.

yes...we have a strip that goes from wood to tile (tile was put in before) that is a good 1/2 to 1 inch step & it just does fine. Roombas are nice to set & let it do it's thing (especially for under beds) but I do still like getting a reg. vacuum out once in awhile.

I have a dog that sheds and usually lays on the area rugs. It does a good job picking up the dog hair. I don't use it on my wood floors, but don't know why it wouldn't pick up.

I love this vacuum. I purchased this when we replaced our carpet with wooden floors. Our dog sheds quite a bit. It works very well with picking up pet hair on hard floor surfaces. You will have to clean filter areas monthly to keep suction up to par. You won't be disappointed.

It shouldn't. I would start on a rug or something because it always turns on with the brushes rotating. Once it is on, you can turn the brush off, and save the wood floors. I don't know how the ball and wheels would be on wood, though.

It does slide smoothly on rugs and carpeting. All around, I love this vacuum. I prefer uprights but because I have mostly wood floor and I do not want scratches I purchased this one and I have not been disappointed. Good suction, lightweight, versatile and easy to maneuver from one surface to another...
