Supposedly the newest ones are a little better at handling tile, they don't get stuck as much.
I'm going to buy one of the heavy duty ones meant for garages too.

The carpet situation is a little weird. My kitchen and entryway have very thick tiles. My living and dining rooms are hardwood. The tile is about an inch higher than the hardwood. It takes that jump either way with ease.
There is a bedroom off the entry that is carpeted. The carpet is pretty much the same height as the tile, so it goes in there easily (can't say how well it "cleans" as the door is usually closed and the maids were just here a few days ago).
There is a carpeted hallway that meets the hardwood. The carpet is a little higher than the hardwood and it doesn't seem to want to to keep trying to take that route.
I need to learn more about the options. Guess it is supposed to know when the battery is low and just work its way back to the home base for a charge before it is too late.
