The vacuum failed to clean two of the three test Cheerios I strategically placed on my main floor to see what nooks and crannies it could reach. Both had small overhangs (one was an Ikea Billy bookshelf and the other was a freestanding cabinet) that the Spot+Scrub couldn’t get under. There is no extendable arm that could fix the problem.
I encountered a similar problem above. My bathroom cabinets are the same basic setup as my downstairs kitchen, but the Spot+Scrub managed to wedge itself under my master bathroom cabinets and then struggled to remove. The same thing happened with my low bed frame, which after many attempts squeezed under and then wouldn’t come out. I marked the bed as a no-clean zone in the app, but since the Dyson map doesn’t know where my bed is, I had to guess just like I did with the kitchen island, so a large portion of the bedroom went unvacuumed.

Still, it did a good job at my cleaning…
