It doesn't do the kitchen linoleum floor, right?

I just want to clarify. It says that you should not solely rely on it, it
should just be a way to maintain. I disagree. I actually use it much more
than my vacuum cleaner! It's excellent! You have to be careful that nothing
else is on the floor for it to get stuck onthough.

tells you the problem when there is one. For example, charge rumba.
