I believe you would use the physical barrier box while it is still learning the layout and you can use the No-Go zones after the layout is learned
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Once the Roomba maps out your house, you no longer need the wall barrier. Until the map is built, there is no other way to prevent it from going into areas you would rather not have it go into. It is only needed to help train it initially. I don't use mine any longer. I would recommend you allow it to go everywhere (supervised) when it trains so it builds a more complete map.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We put our barrier next to the dog's water dish. Now if the water gets spilled, it is not the vacuum but the dog spilling it! works great for that. We bought an additional barrier to allow the vac in the room but to stop and turn around at one point in the room.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While there are Keep Out Zones - and directed room cleaning - with the i7, some still prefer to use the virtual wall as a quick ad hoc solution (especially in halo mode) or to draw a distinct line (or "wall") to divide an area or room. You're correct that zones can provide a similar barrier.
