What kind of robot vacuum should I get if I have fringe on my rugs?

Get a robot vacuum with rubber rollers, like the [Roborock S](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+S&tag=wehavethat-20)7 MaxV or [iRobot Roomba](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=iRobot+Roomba&tag=wehavethat-20) j7+, because rubber brushes are gentler on fringe than bristle ones. Bristles grab and pull fringe, and side brushes can snag and tangle the machine. Even with rubber rollers, keep the vacuum away from long loose fringe, or trim or tack the fringe down — no model is truly safe if the fringe is hanging free.
