what happens if the Roomba runs over a lamp cord?

You get a clean lamp cord.

I was a bit skeptical, but it handles my office just fine.
Lan cables, power cords, etc. Overall, I'm very impressed.

Well, after reading this thread and researching on the web for a couple
weeks prior to this thread, I went ahead and bought a Roomba today.

I like it a lot, except for one problem that I haven't seen mentioned.
There's a big oriental rug in our living room that has a fair amount of
black in it, as well as a black border (no fringe). It treats the black
parts like the edge of the stairs. It won't vacuum them, nor will it go up
on the rug because of the border. I'm considering taking it back, but I
might try calling the company first. Of all the things...
