The S2 handles area rugs exceptionally well, climbing thicker piles while avoiding tassels and lightweight mats. It is less likely to bunch, drag or become trapped by rugs.
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Filtration / Dust Containment
Cons: Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters
It moves onto area rugs smoothly and can increase power when needed. Rug cleaning is strongest when the space is open enough for repeated passes.
Pros: Tool-change simplicity, Aesthetic design and finish
Cons: Hair-removal channel issues, Bag-full indicator
Area rug handling is context-dependent, with reliable transitions in many homes but concerns around thin rugs or carpet-wetness risk.
Pros: Wool carpet compatibility, Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance
Cons: Suitability for heavy-duty use, Edge‑Following Accuracy (Robot)
Small rug handling was good in one review, with the mop lift clearing small rugs in testing.
Pros: Storage footprint and upright-stand stability, Maneuverability and Handling
Cons: Hair Pickup — Carpets, Clogging and debris prevention
Area rug handling was mixed: some reviewers trusted carpet detection, while others saw wetting or rug mopping issues.
Pros: Bin and Bag, Build quality and durability
Cons: Stair Cleaning, Suitability for small spaces
Area rug handling was mixed: one review said it did not get stuck, while another found thin rugs could bunch in the wheels.
Pros: Packaging quality, Dual motors
Cons: Stair Cleaning, Odor control
Area rug handling was a clear caveat because the mop lift can be too low or delayed and may touch rugs.
Pros: Overall cleaning convenience, Storage footprint and upright-stand stability
Cons: Kid-friendliness, Obstacle Avoidance (Robot)
Rug handling was a limitation when the robot tangled in rug tassels.
Pros: Assembly and Setup, Price and Value
Cons: Mopping performance, Software-update support / feature longevity
