does it stir up dust as it vacuums as did the roomba with its swirling brushes? Mostly bare floors here.

I haven't noticed any issues with this. I am able to sit in the same room while it is running (it's so quiet, I have to check sometimes to see if it is still running!) without aggravating my asthma. It does a great job of picking everything from dust to the dirt the dog dragged in to animal hair.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

IT move easily with the brush turning on carpet. I don't think there is anything other than the brush that moves it, It's a great vacume cleaner -- I like the switch that lets you use it without the brush turning to do hard floors. works great at less money than some of the super-high-end vacs.

No it doesn't, but I have not found that to be an issue. I use it on throw rugs, Berber carpet, and a traditional carpeting and it works equally well on all three. It does have a setting to turn the brush off for bare floors.

The vacuum is self propelled in the carpet mode but not the bare floor mode

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

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.

My home is small, about 1400 sf., all tile and wood floors. I have no trouble vacuuming the whole house in one charge. I have a lot of "dust bunnies" (dogs) and the brushes are easy to clean.

It does great on hardwood floors. I do not have much experience with this roomba on carpet.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

There is a lever to turn off the brush roller at the base so you get direct vac to floor only. I turn off the brush roller on bare floors.

It follows you around like a dog on a leash, so you've pretty much already vacuumed where the main unit's at. I haven't noticed it kicking up dust, but them I'm looking ahead, not behind.

Not that I've noticed. I have used one other vacuum cleaner that is not a Eureka and it has a hard plastic enclosure for the bag. There is no noticeable difference. I don't think this vacuum adds any more dust in the air than is already there.

I have a Dyson and will admit that it cleans well. It is noisy and I had to send it back for problems with extreme noise, it took two weeks before it came back. A year later the same problem came back. I am looking to buy the Hoover.

I found that unless the brushroll is active all the time, the cleaning head will quickly get clogged with dust and pet hair. Just one reason why I'm not crazy about this vacuum.
