The ability to roam without paying extra is awesome. It actually works abroad. Except my friend said her Fi didn't work in Korea for some reason.

re: Best Roomba for an apartment with hardwood floors & area rug?
Posted by arthurhammond on 8/28/16 at 9:23 pm to yankeeundercover
How thick is your area rug? I've never actually tested my Roomba, but I think any rug under 1" should not be a problem
The Roomba's wheels are about 3" in diameter, and they actually can extend all the way out to let it climb over thick rugs.
Cleaning power doesn't differ much between robotic vacuums, no matter the model. There's a physical limit to how much suction power you can generate given the power a portable battery can put out.
If you are looking for a budget (relatively speaking of course, it's still quite expensive) robotic vacuum, I would go with the Roomba 860. It's the cheapest model you can get that still has the next-gen brushless rollers. I like them because the "brush-less-ness" makes cleaning hair out of the Roomba so easy.
If you feel like reading, here is a detailed review of the Roomba 860. About 2/3 of the way down, there is a picture of how the Roomba's wheels stick out.
I think Neato have even cheaper models but I would wait until they come out with a brushless version if you want to go that route. There's a lot of Neato fans here. :)

If you don't mind having them run while you're not home, either Roomba or Neato would be fine.
I'm partial to the Roomba because the latest generation doesn't have brushes for hair to get stuck on. It makes all the difference in the world in terms of cleaning the Roomba afterwards. Here is a review for one of the more basic models that is high end enough to be "brushless".
