Robot Vacuum Cleaners And Shag Carpets
There has been assumptions that robotic vacuums do a superficial cleaning job, but they've actually been found to be quite thorough when it comes to doing their job. However, it has been found that the unit does not function well on deep pile or shag carpets. It also doesn't transition well off or on to deep pile carpeting. A room with shag carpeting may not get the best cleaning job with a robotic vacuum, but any other type of flooring seems to benefit from this machine. If you have thick carpeting, your best bet may simply be an upright vacuum.
