how does it do moving around on carpeted floors or on the transition from carpet to hard wood and back? Thanks ahead for your help.

We didn't experience any problems, our carpet isn't very long/thick so it runs well.

My experience has been poor. I think it's ability to walk is poor regardless the surface

It has no problem and in general moves very well. He is also a lot more graceful moving then his big brother Robosapien. It does though have a somewhat low center but it hasn't seem to affect the Roboquad. Maybe out side it may matter more but that will have to wait for summer to test out

We have all hardwood floors, but it does go from floor to area rug and back just fine. The only time it gets in a jam is when it's leg gets stuck in an unfinished threshold.

excellent. I have both hardwood and a braided rug in my living room and it goes from one to the other with no issues.

I'm not sure, it didn't work out if the box so we returned it for a different robot

It does well. We have used it more on the carpet and it works good there. It has tipped onto its back a few times while on auto trying to do a weird thing where it brings its legs in close and stands up tall. It will be stuck there until you pick it upn

I have had no issues with the Roomba making transitions from wood to rugs. I occasionally use the regular vacuum for the rugs, because it is more powerful.

Hi. The wheels move it but it moves a lot easier on hard floors rather than the carpet. Pulling the chair forward on carpet is not easy for some reason though pulling back on the chair (going backwards is okay.) This is not an issue on hard floors.

yes. it moves fairly easily even on carpet. the only thing I don't like about is, that it is unattractive.

It's not as steady as I'd feel comfortable with on hardwood flooring, although if you place it carefully it's ok. Have not tried it outside and since falling is an issue with my father I don't encourage his going outside in inclement weather. Basically the cane works best on carpeting. But that's only my experience.

The rollers a fine. Given the weight of the machine its tough on carpet. But with hard floors (tile or wood) we were able to move the machine around the room with ease.

It does have wheels and moves pretty easily. We have it on a tile surface and have no trouble, however not sure how it would work on carpet.

My experience on pile carpet is you need patience and more time maneuvering. It does well on carpets - just go slower. My experience is you need to make wider turns on carpets as compared to wood floors.

My grand used it on our carpeted floors and she had no trouble with it at all. It mostly helped her to stand and walk while she was learning to steady herself better, but after a while, she just pushed it in whatever direction she wanted it to go (mostly into our furniture, sadly the banging was the best part for her). It never got away from her causing her to fall over or anything. It is very durable and way too cute; also it doesn't take up much room when you want to put it away.

I learned the hard way that u have to turn the spinning brush off. Otherwise it just throws dirt everywhere. I recently got new carpet and I guess it is a little to plush. It used to flow great from carpet to hard wood with my thinner carpet.

Not really. When the brush is engaged, it kind of moves it along, but it's wheels are not propelled. I do find it quite easy to move around on tile and wood floors, and forward on carpet. It's a little handful when drawing it back...

Actually, mine has two very small roller wheels attached to the front base bar of the frame. If you stand in front, grab the handles and pull the handles down till the machine balances on the wheels, it very easily rolls on hard floors and of course, a little more resistance on carpet, but still easy to move.

I have used it only on carpet. I does work extremely well on carpet, though.

It is more difficult rolling on carpet. We primarily have wood flooring. Definitely notice a difference when rolling on carpet in bedroom.

I have had no problems with the machine moving around. I use it on a carpeted floor for about 30-60 minutes at a time.

Yes, it's very easy to move. The only thing is that transition from a solid surface to carpet, you need to be careful rolling over the threshold. When folded up, it takes up very little room. We store ours behind a door. We have enjoyed it very much.

Yes, I primarily have hardwood floors, but we have a number of large rugs and it doesn't have a problem moving to and from both (doesn't get stuck either.) I have also used it in a house with carpet and I have used it in a house with hardwoods. Hope this helps!
