Does your Roborock get stuck on electrical cords?

I have a Roomba that used to be able to detect cords and roll over them, but at some point it ceased to do that -- and jobs would consistent failed due to it getting stuck.

I'm too lazy to tidy up my cords just for a robot vacuum to run. Would be great if there was one that was intelligent enough to simply avoid cords and other hazards.



It depends. Chords lying on the ground: no. It takes a picture of them and sends it to me to calmly inform me what a slob I am.

But I have a hairdryer that's attached to a wall and whose cord dangles down, and it does sometimes run into that one.


Chords lying on the ground sounds like a good album


Damn :-D
