My living room is a maze of cables and my robot vacuum keeps snagging on them during its evening run! I’m trying to set up no-go zones and cable covers, but I’m not sure which accessories or settings actually prevent tangles. Tips on mapping tricks or bumpers that actually work would be amazing!

My apartment is a mix of hardwood and rugs and my robot vacuum has started skipping the bedroom on its map. It used to map fine, but recently the layout looks partial and it wanders around without doing the edges. I’ve checked for clutter and moved the charging dock to a more open spot, but that didn’t help. I also wiped the sensors and updated the app firmware, yet it still fails to recognize that room. I can’t rearrange big furniture or add magnetic strips everywhere because I’m renting and keeping costs down. What else should I try, and at what point should I consider replacing parts like the cliff sensors or side wheels?
