5 Things to Know About Robot Vacuum Threshold Climbing
- Threshold climbing is the spec that determines if your robot vacuum can roll over door transitions without getting stuck.
- Every model has a maximum climb height in millimeters, typically between 10mm and 20mm.
- If your vacuum’s threshold limit is too low for your home’s transitions, it will spin its wheels helplessly on raised strips.
- Common obstacles include door frames, room transitions, and metal bars between tile and carpet.
- Check this spec before buying if your house has any thick thresholds.
