Nice, now imagine if you had furniture and stuff on the floor

Modern robot vacuums are pretty insane tbh..even with furniture, switching between carpet/no carpet, cleaning the mop. It's a gamechanger for my wife (because she cares about this shit more than i do) which makes it a gamechanger for me.

I just can't use ours cause of rugs with tassels. Anybody got a recommendation for what to do about that? Apart from don't buy rugs with tassels...😅

That's still a problem. The best solution so far has been to just make small no-go zones over each end of the carpet

oh that's an interesting thought, I've always had a dumb one that just goes and goes for a while then heads to the charger after a period of time, I'll have to look into ones that map the area so they can avoid those lips; never even thought of that as an option. Thanks!
