I was pretty disappointed to find out my area rug is an impassable object for my roomba.
Can roomba climb over rugs.
No roomba will climb on in carpet roomba 960 will not transition from my hardwood floor to my carpet.
Thanks for the idea.
In some cases the robot may stall at the edges because it has difficulty transitioning.
I have since created a wall on the smart map to prevent the roomba from vacuuming the rug.
I m going to try the tape over the sensors some day this week to see if it will then go over the rugs it is not going over now.
I am quite pleased with it s good cleaning.
But it does clean the carpets.
We have this rug in our living that our roomba was able to climb fairly easily before.
We got a irobot roomba 960 for our new apartment.
The roomba stops turns around and climbs over the fringe on my oriental rugs.
The apartment has however in one door frame there s a step of about 26mm roughly 1 inch.
Works like a champ and i m really excited about not having to manually vacuum as much.
What s the best way for the roomba to overcome this obs.
It climbs up onto that rug like nobody s business.
It can clean under the bed under the table et cetera.
In extreme cases the robot will treat it as an obstacle and avoid it.
However within the past week the roomba has started to approach the rug but and not make its way on top of it.
In many cases it does a wonderful job of cleaning under things.
When i ran my i7 over it it could not handle it.
1 point 2 years ago.
Cliff sensor stuck can t climb rug.
I also believe this is why my bin has gotten full so fast.
So i bought a roomba 985 a few months ago from costco.
Tips for using a roomba on a rug schedule a separate cleaning time for areas with rugs or thick carpets so the roomba wouldn t have a hard time transitioning between floor types or threshold levels.
I contacted the company and they said the maximum height of a threshold that all roomba models can transition over when performing a cleaning cycle is in 1 6 cm.
Another challenge that the roomba face is crossing over from hardwood floor to high pile rugs like shag rugs and thick carpets.
It was creating lumps from the shedding and dropping them all over the rug and the house as it moved on to other areas.
