For the first couple cleans I watched him, especially with lamp cords but he hasn't had any problems getting tangled up. (I read with earlier versions he would get tangled up but this is the 5th generation so they've made improvements.) I've now had him almost two months and use him several times a week. He has to be cleaned out after each cleaning, but that just takes a couple of minutes (take him to trash can, empty and check brushes). Our house is so much cleaner than before. I love turning him on, letting him loose, and then I can do what I need (or want) to do. As for burning up the motor, if I fail to clean the brushes, the machine will stop. One day I found him in the diningroom under the table. I pushed the button and it told me to clean the brushes! So sounds like it will stop before it burns up the motor. But that's a great question for the Roomba people. Thanks for dropping by. Angela, One of our area rugs’ binding is coming off and he just glides over it.

Ours has some snags that I'm afraid would get caught up in the brushes. Left unattended could that burn up his poor little motor?? How does he do with ratty old carpet?

We also have some hardwoods. They do good on all hard surfaces, but they do best on carpet. Yesterday he cleaned in the bathroom which is all tile except for small throw rugs. Our livingroom is laminate with a large area rug and he does a pretty good job on the laminate. I have ordered a remote, so if I want I can control where he goes. You will love it.
