You can get adhesive rubber stoppers from Amazon or Ebay that will lift it up a couple of CM without looking weird.It was the sideboard according to my daughter who checked when she got home from school. Guess I just need to stick a phone book under each leg of the sideboard
Hmmm... So it's literally at the perfect height to confuse the unit. ie: It think it can get under, but it can't and so gets wegded?It was the sideboard according to my daughter who checked when she got home from school. Guess I just need to stick a phone book under each leg of the sideboard
Ugh, carpet everywhere? You didn't check this at any point before you moved in?
Yeh, and wipe all your PCs and put a fresh OS on them. Also if you have any cars, get them resprayed.Ugh, carpet everywhere? You didn't check this at any point before you moved in?
No robots are great with thick carpet, and if I were you I would (cost permitting) get laminate or wood down ASAP.
A fresh OS on PC's is comparable to replacing carpet with laminate? Oh Neil... at least you try and I admire that.

I absolutely cannot stand carpets so that is why I suggested that would replace with laminate. Carpets are an absolute nightmare to maintain and keep clean, I would even go as far as to say they are inherently unhygienic. If you don't have the cash then fair enough, I guess it can be a future project. Still, it's nuts that they put in carpet in this day and age... can you go back to the developer and ask them? It may be worth putting a bit of pressure on them and saying you expected laminate... maybe they will do you a deal or something.
Anyway back to the robot it should work as long as it's not ridiculously thick, but I imagine you will end up having to do a lot of constant maintenance on the robot due to the fibers. Try searching youtube and seeing if there are any relevant tests.
Seems a bit of a ridiculous comment, it's a subjective thing otherwise there wouldn't be any carpet shops left. I think some rooms suit carpet and some rooms suit solid/laminate floors better (kitchen, bathrooms obviously). I personally prefer the 'warmth' of a carpet in the front room and bedrooms, we had good quality laminate installed in our old house but went for carpet in our new house now that our kids are a bit older. All personal preference though. If I had a dog or babies/toddlers I would definitely not have carpets!
It's not 'ridiculous' in the slightest (do you seriously think carpets are hygenic? They really aren't), but it is of course subjective and as you say a matter of preference as to whether you want to have them or not.
The 'hygienic' bit was only one part of your post - of course people don't buy carpets for hygiene reasons. But to your other points, I've got two kids, two cats and a light coloured carpet downstairs and I have no problem maintaining it and keeping it clean. I have a pet vacuum cleaner and also a Vax carpet washer which I've used if the kids have dropped paint or anything in their playroom or walked mud in accidentally. I don't have a strong preference either way, I can (and indeed did) see the benefits of laminate, but for a home I personally prefer carpets in some rooms.
Try my suggestion then of a strip of carboard hanging down 1-2 inches from the underside of the sideboard a few inches in, just out of site to people. The cleaner's laser will see it and hopefully not go there.
It's an Ikea sideboard with those doors you push in and then they pop out. So it may have got under and then got caught on the door. I told my daughter to take it out and then open the cupboard door. It resumed cleaning okay and then finished off and went back to its dock. I'm going to try again this weekend while I can watch it and see what happens.
