Question about robot vacuums

I’d love to be able to use a robotic vacuum, but I’m not sure if one would work in my house. We have wooden floors with area rugs. Most of the area rugs have fringe on the ends. Would a robotic vacuum work for this situation? Or would it just get tangled in the fringe?
Interested in other people’s experiences. Thanks! |

| I don’t have any rugs with fringe, but I do have hardwood floors with area rugs, and my roomba has been a godsend. |

I have a roborock and like it but it doesn’t work on rugs with fringe. |

| I have a cheaper than Rumba, and fringe has been fine. Others in my family have Rumba and it's way better than mine. |

| I have a Roomba and a Eufy. Both work with rugs with oriental rugs with fringe, but it isn't super long (1.5" ?). I think the Eufy works better and was much less expensive. |

My house is wood floors with area rugs too. Only one of them has a short fringe and my Roomba J9+ works fine going over the fringe and onto the rug. I absolutely love having a Roomba that self-empties and maps the rooms. I remembered at work today that my MIL was coming by this afternoon so I used the app on my phone and had it run in the high traffic rooms while I was at work.
Don't waste your money on the robots that don't self-empty and can't map a room. Maintaining those and setting up physical boundaries becomes so time consuming that it would just be easier to manually vacuum. I'm a neat freak and now only manually vacuum twice a week. |
