How big/heavy does an item need to be for the Rooma to avoid it? I have nicknacks & decorative items on the floor.

Depending on the surface. .. they avoid everything, but if is carpet is hard to move a shoe for them, but sometimes they push your sandals or other items less than 1 pound.

Probably something 0.5kg or heavier. However, the friction the item has plays a big part as well. I have an Ikea Lack table (less than 0.5kg in weight) with some anti-slip pads and the Roomba is not able to push it too much.The stepper motor on this thing is rather strong.

Sometimes it bumps into things and sometimes it sees them. It nudges my dining room chairs when it bumps into them.

If you can protect them with something, I suppose that's best. It avoids lamps, chairs, coffee table, and my floor speakers. Not sure what kind of nicknacks you have?

this is a heavy item, we did not attach to the floor and it hasn't moved, even when bumped into.

I can't tell you how heavy it is. It would require some strong anchors, I guess. It doesn't take up much floor space as it is.

It's pretty heavy and it came packaged rolled up. If you decide to return it it would be hard to put back in the box. Personally I wouldn't use it on the floor.

heavy, you definitely know you are carrying it. depends on your needs. wouldn't want to carry it around all day, but moving it from room to room or short trips, not bad.

This might get heavy when doing a room, depending on how large the room is. I have only done furniture with it and on larger pieces it had gotten heavy.

I have a laminate floor, and there is no slipping whatsoever. I imagine it would be the same for wood. The item itself is pretty heavy.

I don't think the will drag on the floor but they will probably rest on the support bar that is about 3-4" from the ground. The hangers you use will also make a difference

The carpet would have to be higher than the hardwood floor so that the Scooba would "bump" into it. I use the artificial wall to block the area or close the bedroom doors.

These items are great. I have a curio cabinet, 3-piece sectional, entertainment center and all of them have the 'Super-Sliders' on the bottom and you can't even tell their there, plus the ease of moving any of the items is a breeze, I moved the sectional which is huge by myself. They can stay put underneath and the item can be moved with ease anytime you decide to move it. I put them under anything heavy and leave them there. As for looks...if you put them under whatever you can barely seen them, like my sectional it looks like part of the furniture, it all depends on what you put them underneath, hope this answers your questons, Happy Hloidays!!!!

Width would be good; lenght shoul also be fine but may not go all the way to the floor.

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

I have knocked it off my nightstand (which is typical nightstand height) onto the hardwood floor at least 10 times, and it hasn't broken yet. Probably I am pressing my luck and should put a rug under the nightstand though.

I would say short tight carpet (like you see in offices) sure. But anything thicker/softer/plush... I wouldn't recommend. I glide around my garage just by pushing off and lifting my legs (like a kid!)

I'm getting one for my two year olds room. plan on positioning it behind a dresser so most of it is covered up, but if by chance he does touch it, then he will learn real quick to never touch it again. There are a whole lot worse things in a house that are much more dangerous than a little heat. It's not life or death.

As with most scales they work better on a solid surface...level wood/tile floor...and if your in a habit if moving it sometimes it will register weight differently. If it has to be on a carpet I would put a a piece of wood/hard plastic under it such as a cutting board or maybe 3/8, 1/2 inch piece of board . so if you put the scale under the bed lets say and pull it out the weight it going to be off..

Hmmmm... it might get tangled up. Basically if it gets tangled up in things, it just stops in place and waits for you to resolve it. For me, dryer sheets that make it under my bed will do it every time. I also close my bathroom doors every day when I leave because it can end up getting tangled in my bath mats, basically grabbing a corner of it. However, it might be fine on that and just go over it. If the rug is heavy enough, it might be fine.
