Also, it does really well around legs. It bumps into a leg and then goes completely around it. The little holes on the right side of the front bumper contain what I assume is an IR sensor for wall following, etc. On that same side is a little whip brush that sweeps hair, etc from edges and corners. My carpet is medium pile and I have a long haired cat and a Golden Retriever. It deals with thier tufts fairly nicely although the longer thicker hair from the dog's tail and rear haunches wraps around the brushes on occasion. I just clean the thing after every couple of runs. This happens with my non-AI vacuum as well, btw. It has a Max and a Regular clean mode. Max allows it to clean longer whereas clean is full power to vacuum and brushes. I generally use Max as it works well enough. I like it's Spot clean function that automatically kicks in when it finds a dirty spot. A little blue light comes on and it obsesses on the area until it's clean.
