Crevice and groove pickup is repeatedly called out as improved versus older Roombas, aided by stronger suction and the dual rubber rollers. It performs well on seams and along transitions...
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Mop lifting system
Cons: Corner Cleaning (Robot), Carpet — High-Pile Pickup
Crevice and groove-style hard-floor pickup is supported by a broad hard-floor debris result, with TechRadar saying most debris came up on the first pass.
Pros: Ease of use, Accessories and Tools
Cons: Innovation compared to competitors, Area Rug Handling
Crevice and edge-line pickup is mixed: capable overall, but some tests note weaker crevice performance versus higher-suction rivals and occasional residue along rug edges.
Pros: Mop lifting system, Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup
Cons: Support &, Reliability
Crevice and groove pickup was poor in testing and one hands-on spot-cleaning trial saw debris flung into a crack.
Pros: Energy efficiency (kWh), Packaging quality
Cons: Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance, Stuck resistance
Crevice and groove pickup evidence is negative because one review said the design limited corners and crevices.
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Ease of use
Cons: Self-cleaning cycle, Dock noise
