Question

George · Accepted Answer

Wouldn't work too well on high pile carpets or shaggy rugs, but didn't have a problem transitioning from flat to carpet. It would scrunch up the edges of the carpet if it's not stiff enough.

Yes it does. We have a few rugs and it gets them clean as well and really doesn't get caught up or anything

I ran the set up on mine today and it seem to do fine on my carpet. I have a couple thin area rugs in those seemed OK

Jakobsdad · Answer

Yes we have carpet , tile and area rugs and it works great

Cookie · Answer

It work great on carpet. Now when it comes to your area rug it all depends on how thick it is. The iRobot will attempt to go over it, but if it’s to tick, it may just turn it’s self around.

Jack · Answer

Yes! It will adjust from wood floor to carpet.

Andy · Answer

Yes, it works well for area rugs. I have a hard wood first floor with area rugs, I was surprised to see that the unit was going under the couches and tables and taking care of the rug in those spots too, places that I rarely got to with a traditional vacuum.

No area rugs are a nightmare for it. Depending on how deep it is, it will either get stuck or not be able navigate properly around it

GadgetGirl · Answer

Yes. It seems to climb onto the carpet with ease. Does a superb job! It looks as neat as a well mowed lawn with a subtle pattern of where it meticulously cleaned!

It does work well on floor mts and area rugs. Not too sure about carpet because we keep our guest rooms with carpet closed because of our dog.

BestBuyDan · Answer

Carpet and rugs get cleaned pretty good. I don’t think it’ll completely replace the need to occasionally use a stand up vacuum but it does a good job to maintain the clean. Just make sure the rugs are secure so they don’t get sucked into the vacuum and it gets stuck.

Nannin7 · Answer

After reading your question again I’d definitely say yes Can’t really say about all carpet I’ve got tile floors and only entryway door mats don’t exactly know how that’d pan out on carpet only but people with hard floors tile or laminate and like clean floors it’s a winner actually now that I think about it the only sad part is that doesn’t mop

It works well on my area rugs. Sometimes it pulls up the corners, I don't have them secured in any way. My house is mostly hardwood and tile and it moves well from wood to rugs to tile.

Alwaysthere5 · Answer

Told it has issues with shag rugs.Also it sometimes thinks that area carpets are barriers so it will just go around them . If you have a large open floor plan without much rug it probably will be fine but not so much for areas rugs.Told it gets stuck on deep piles,This was bought for someone else so I do not have first hand knowledge and it is being returned.Hope this helps.

Josie · Answer

yes it does

Rocketshad · Answer

Yes, it actually works better on carpet and rugs than on hardwood in my opinion.

iRobot representative · Answer

Absolutely. All Roombas work well on carpet, tile, wood, laminate and other soft or hard surfaces. The two rubber multi-surface brushes found on the e5 are especially effective. Area rugs will not be a problem, other than very deep shag (the type that would be a challenge for any vacuum).
