FAQ About Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Can a robot vacuum cleaner climb over thresholds or carpets?
The ability of a robot vacuum cleaner to climb over thresholds or carpets depends on several factors, such as the height of the threshold or the thickness of the carpet, as well as the design and features of the device. Some robot vacuum cleaners have more powerful motors and larger wheels that can help them climb over higher thresholds or thicker carpets, while others may struggle with these obstacles.
In general, most robot vacuum cleaners are designed to handle low-pile carpets and thresholds that are no more than a few centimeters high. Some robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with a feature called "cliff detection," which allows them to detect when they are about to climb onto an obstacle that is too high for them to handle. In these cases, the robot vacuum cleaner may avoid the obstacle or try to navigate around it.
If you have high-pile carpets or large thresholds, it's a good idea to check the specifications of the robot vacuum cleaner you are considering to ensure that it can handle these obstacles. Some models may also come with additional accessories, such as brush rolls or side brushes, that can help the device clean more effectively on carpets and over thresholds.
