“Does it clean cat litter, or get snagged by fringes on edge of area rugs? Our cats track cat litter onto hardwood floor and tile. We have two Persian rugs with fringes on the end. Fringes are about 2" long and like white string and there are probably a couple hundred per side. Rugs are on hardwood floor, one w a pad, one w/o. Normal vacuums try and pick these up the way they'd pick up long hair. Any info re your experience much appreciated! Also, can a virtual boundary be set (in case fringes are a tangle problem).”

The suction on this is great and would do a great job of picking up the cat litter off hardwood. As far as the rug goes, this would react the same as normal vacuums and try to pick it up like long hair
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Small pieces it will pick up. Fingers may be an issue.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The fringes might be a problem. It's a vacuum, like any other, in the sense that its brushes will catch and suck them up. It does have tangle sensors, however, that will keep any immediate damage from occurring. Over time, however, the fringe will likely get worn down and threadbare because of excessive vacuuming. But the same would happen with a manual vacuum anyway, if you weren't careful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 9350 Turbo model may come with a Virtual Guard packaged, otherwise they all can use those supplied for the Navibot line, or order from Samsungparts. Similar to the Virtual Walls for Roomba robots, but have a long range out twenty feet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All vacuum robots and even manual, regular vacuums with a powerhead brush can have problems with fringes on carpets. They can get pulled into the brush. You might tuck the fringes under the rug, pull up the rug or whatever. Some people fasten the fringes down somehow. They really are a special problem and it depends exactly one what type of fringe.
