BRUTALLY HONEST RUGGABLE REVIEW | Pros & Cons of Washable Rugs

[@OakAbode]

09/20 UPDATE: Thanks for all the support! As some of you mentioned below, you can now shop Ruggable on Amazon, by clicking here: amzn.to/3lYiSPg Some of you are saying this is a good way to bypass the sketchy return policy. I haven't tried purchasing this way myself, but let us know if you do! We also FINALLY figured out how to fix the Ruggable curling -- you can watch how we fix it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4fXY6uiZdqjpJo

[@TonyaWeir81]

One girl I just saw suggested to dry to dampness

[@cynthiahatten7388]

Funny I never have had her problems. Ever. I just smooth the edges down and no problem. They feel fine to me. Love mine. I’m not sure about this review at all. Had mine for 2 years. Strongly disagree with this review. Just not my experience.

[@jamyrathke2520]

I have two Ruggables. I’ve had zero problem with edges curling. I’m just guessing, but folks who are having trouble with curling edges may be using higher dryer heat because they do take a while to dry. I dry mine on low heat, and they are completely flat. These rugs are a dream for anyone who has pets. I have four big dogs, and both rugs get a lot of traffic. They do not slide, they’re easy to vacuum, they get very clean in the wash, and they’re durable. I have no fraying or any signs of wear, and I’ve washed many times. Hope this helps.

[@designdoctor247]

this answered my question. thank u...by the way maybe it is just me but they seem toooo big to fit in a standard washer???

[@briencrotty2322]

Ours fit in our standard washer and dryer. We did dry them on low heat, though, and they’ve curled like crazy. One of them was so bad that my wife pitched it (after tripping over it for the millionth time). The other one is getting pitched as soon as we receive the different rug we ordered to replace it, since it looks terrible now. We’re chalking this up to an expensive learning experience.

[@jean_the_anxious_bean]

I have 3 medium-sized rugs (kinda big) for 3 years now, and I have a 4 year old German shepherd who plays on one rug 24/7, and it's SUPER durable and easy to clean! I haven't seen any signs of damage, and the fur/hair comes off easy. I wash mine on cool and cool dry. It still comes out damp, so I air dry it. When I used a hotter setting on the edges curled, I hadn't had that issue since I first bought them.

[@veronicadw7070]

​@briencrotty2322 hello! I'm curious, did you buy tufted, flat woven, or another style? Which one did you own that curled up?

[@lorileighmoreland7936]

Thank you! I had gotten really serious about getting a ruggable, and the curling would be downright dangerous for my handicapped husband. Your video probably saved us from frustration and injury. Thank you for your honesty!

[@RCB504]

There is carpet tape to help with that

[@dannyab2007]

I have three ruggables. (2) 8x10 and (1). 10’ runner. Everything you outlined is EXACTLY how I feel. Spot on!! Thanks for making this for people.

[@Reneesfun]

I have 4. They do curl and I find them hard to vacuum with a dyson but I love the colors and variety. We washed one outside on our clothes line with a hose. It washed really well! Thanks for the video!

[@MR-wf7do]

Do we need to buy ruggable rug pads or can we use pads for any other brand?

[@millie20102]

You need their pad because is a very special material- like a giant Velcro. It won’t stay out with anything else and it would just be like a blanket

[@bendeco]

Thanks for not being just another influencer on KZbin.

[@divyahingorani2422]

[@xeekk]

Oh man, I was looking at these rugs. The curling up is a deal killer for me. I just can't stand that.

[@margaretmerton8909]

Tripping hazard for me. But I really liked the idea of washable and I saw a design I really loved.

[@xeekk]

Margaret Merton yeah, I’m holding off for now

[@DebbieCarrington]

I had a ruggable in my shopping cart. After hearing about the curling edges I decided against purchasing it.

[@blitzenandwiley]

These rugs are a disaster after a few months. Don't buy. The curling issue is a nightmare. I've decided to throw mine out they are so bad. Turned out they are disposable rugs.

[@MachoSheri]

I've had mine for almost a year. It doesn't curl up.

[@millie20102]

The curling has really been improved. I have one from a couple years ago and one from this year and it’s been improved a lot. For us with kids and pets they are well worth it

[@sarahloffler1872]

We should all pay this girl for saving us a ton of money.

[@Itsisawnotiseen]

I love mine.

[@Statickification]

Same here.

[@Jacksonandjulian]

This is strange my best friend has one and she's had it for a couple years and it doesnt do this. It's in a very high traffic area in her home. She raves about her rug and how she wants to get more.

[@marlynnek6449]

Buy a REAL rug! These are just fabric thrown on the floor. They're a trip hazard and only look good in pictures. There's a reason why there are wool rugs that are hundreds of years old still in use. And ruggable is too expensive.

[@mpras684]

Ooff! I stumbled upon Ruggable today and thought the investment would be the answer to my 13 year old dog’s mobility needs. He still loves sliding about the place but getting back up takes a little longer these days. Oak Abode thank you!

[@alannatodd7183]

The fact that it curls is enough for me to say no. I see it as a tripping hazard.

[@amberfast6020]

Same here ! I am pretty accident prone and disabled so this is a no from me .

[@EmDeePhotography]

You can always tape them down

[@sashaoliviaart]

@@EmDeePhotography for that price you shouldn’t have to though 😕

[@toooes]

@@EmDeePhotography you’d have to tape it after every wash

[@mint_soup9743]

Hopefully they expand the underlayment to match up completely

[@rubyparrot1]

I've had my Ruggable rugs for over a year. I love them. When I saw the issue with the curling up edge I used some simple rug tape to hold down the edges & it works great! The biggest 'con' for me is that I'm a 66 year old senior living alone. Moving furniture to wash them and laying back down again after they are clean is a big challenge for me. I have no family in my area to assist so it's particularly difficult to manage the 8x10 size by myself. It's an all day job for me.

[@bk522]

Are you able to wash the 8x10 in your washer? I feel like it won't fit in mine.

[@rubyparrot1]

@@bk522 Yes, I am able to wash both rugs in my washing machine with each rug being a separate load. Honestly I've only done it a couple of times because it's faster for me to go to the laundromat and be able to use their mega washing machines and wash them together as one load. Although I still dry them separately.

[@suesmith1769]

It's an all day job for me, and I'm not a senior! 8x10 really almost requires 2 people.

[@kimboda9019]

This is the most honest review from anyone I’ve seen yet. I own 2 Ruggable rugs and the curling is a HUGE issue! They are beautiful no doubt but then they start curling after the first wash! I emailed and asked them about the curling and what to do and never got a response. This company could do so much better. How hard would it be to create a heavy border that can be attached underneath the rug edge via removable snaps? Someone in engineering needs to look into that. I won’t be purchasing anything else from ruggable and that’s sad because their designs are kick ass.

[@gaiasgrowinggarden8603]

Try the velcro tape with the sticky back side, wonder if that would help with curling also I read use low heat to dry

[@nancygamble1326]

Did the curling start only after you washed it the first time?

[@nordicskibunny]

I pass my steamer over them and then the curl releases..... Every now and then I use a super light double sided sticky tape to keep the edges down! My real Persians so it too, especially after washing! I leave mine in the sun for a day and the heat relaxes the fabric as well, just works for me....

[@centuryeggcongee]

Thank you for the tips!

[@jbkawaiiholic]

Would an iron work?

[@nordicskibunny]

Audrey Clément not to use directly on the rug, but the steam from a good iron would likely work. I used my Rowenta steamer but my rowenta iron has a pretty good steam setting, just don’t use a hot iron directly on the rug. 😊

[@Shahidlover101]

Great review! Almost 17 minutes and no fluff! The creasing is a huge no for me because my father is on crutches..wouldn't have known that with other reviews!

[@pamelaanderson8899]

Thank you for your honesty, I am 65 years old, handicap, can’t afford a fall, might break a bone.

[@erikarose7244]

I have to say, I love my ruggable rugs! I have a runner on my hardwood and an 8x10 on carpet in my living room. From they day I ordered to the day it was delivered was 2 weeks. I haven’t had any curling and wash mine about once a month with having 3 dogs and a toddler. However, the return fee does suck. I ordered one and decided I didn’t like the pattern. I knew I couldn’t cancel it but I figured I could return it. I never even cut the tape off the box and they still wanted $30+ to ship it back and charged me a restocking fee...when it wasn’t even opened. So I decided to just post it on social media and it sold right away. People don’t like the wait time for shipping so posting a brand new rug for someone to get same day is a great solution to the shipping fee. I would buy these a million times over! They also just came out with a more plush under pad for the rug to give it that plush, squishy feel without having to deal with having a thick high pile rug. Worth the money in my opinion!

[@juanwentz]

Do you still like your rugs and how do you dry it?

[@chaznonya4]

Thank you for an honest review. I've been shopping them for while but you are the first one to address the curling. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for me, I trip on a flat surface enough lol. Better to know that now than to own $400 of regret.

[@chalkedlines8960]

My husband and I made the mistake of buying a 9 x 12 Ruggable rug. At first I really liked it. The rug itself was really pretty and I personally prefer low pile rugs. One problem we had right away was that neither of our vacuum cleaners work on it. We tried several settings, but either the setting just wouldn't suck up the dirt and pet hair or it would suck the rug off of the rug pad. The only thing that works on it is a rubber carpet scrubber- and for a 9 x 12 rug this hard work especially since this was supposed to have been a rug to make our lives easier. So far, I have washed the rug once. It's a hassle to try to do with one person since the rug itself is pretty heavy, but then it never really dried in the dryer. I ran it through at least five times and it was still VERY damp. Finally my husband and I just put it back on the pad (a big pain in the rear getting it realigned) wet. This was late in the evening since my attempts to dry it had taken the better part of the day and the next morning when we got up the entire house smelled like mildewy towels. The rug did dry over night but after washing, it now feels oily which I do not enjoy. The smell took about three days to dissipate (if you put your nose to the close to the floor it still stinks) and I'm considering rewashing it and laying it out in the sun, but my god the labor and hassle involved makes me dread it. I think these rugs would be great in smaller sizes. I would not recommend the largest size. I would have much rather dealt with the constant steam cleaning like we used to do with our old rugs. This rug has been a nightmare.

[@QuarterCastle]

This couldn't have been posted at a more perfect time. Thanks for the honesty, may have saved our home from some heartbreak in the rug dept. Keep up the good work!

[@OakAbode]

I’m so happy to hear you found it helpful!! Wishing you the best on your search for the perfect rug for your home!

[@tnsykes99able]

Quarter Castle ditto!

[@TheHouser21]

She highly recommended them.. why did it save you? I have two of them, and we agree, never going back. They are awesome. In regards to the curling, make sure the rug is installed correctly, not saying hers isn’t but our kinda curled up like that and if you have them attached to the pad underneath the curling won’t happen. Just another honest opinion. They are great.

[@QuarterCastle]

@@TheHouser21 the curling would have been an issue for me and my roomba. I actually have 3 now and one of them still gets caught in the roomba because the pad is much shorter than the rug.

[@sydneyshuman1508]

I cannot thank you enough for your honest review. So many KZbinrs now are doing paid promotions. Or, are sent free product without promise of a positve review, yet that situation creates pressure for one. Thank you so much for being truthful. It really is refreshing

[@hothatchpa]

Thank you so much for this honest real review. The curling is exactly exactly what I was afraid of. I am going to subscribe because honest reviews from homeowners are EXACTLY what I look to for decision making.

[@cindythomas5475]

I recently received my Ruggable for my dinning room which is rarely used. I chose the rug for the the color and design. I didn’t want a plush rug under the dining room table and don’t plan on washing it unless absolutely necessary because of the curling issue. So far I love it. After comparing the prices of rugs at furniture stores Ruggable is very affordable. Thanks for your review! Your dogs are too cute!

[@bonnieklapel1825]

I really appreciate the real pros and cons and that it’s your opinion as well as what you’ve seen on other reviews and about the shipping time and the customer service problems. Also I really appreciate that you said that you found out there were quite a few other companies that sell washable rugs. Thank you so much

SO glad I found this review before hitting “buy now” from my cart. Curling edges & corners is a deal breaker for me. Especially having pets...I find that curled edges makes pets curious to go under or mess with the rug. Moving on and looking for something else!

[@theblogauthority]

Yes.. deal breaker for me as well. They are not cheap.. so why bother when you will likely be throwing them out anyway.

[@QTpattoniepz]

My traditional rug started to curl... I steamed it.. I have one of those little hand held steamers... it works perfectly! I bet it would work for this also.

[@kathleenjohnson7482]

Yes, someone on FB also said she steams the corners. 😀👍🏻

[@amywilliams3510]

I just received my Ruggable Rug. I received it in less than a week after ordering. They do have an upgraded rug pad that makes your rug plush. That is an upgrade so it’s extra but I ordered the rug with the standard pad because I put it in my dining room and needed my chairs to be able to slide easily. So the standard is included in the rug price. That’s all I can think of at the moment to help out with the cons. I love mine!! I ordered two at the same time and like I said above I did receive mine in less than a week. 🥰

[@klee4617]

Thanks so much for this review. With an elderly person in our home having the curling issue could really present a safety issue.

[@Investigativebean]

You can use rug tape to help with the curling 😉 It is inexpensive, and will unstick when you need it too.

[@da1nonlipri]

Came here to say the same thing! RUG TAPE IS A WINNER!

[@supurshugergurl]

Thanks for a positive comment! It's a great idea, I just purchased mine, I'm glad I saw your comment after the fact so I know how to be proactive.

[@MyTNMtnHome]

Oh, I’ve used rug tape on a stubborn curl of a traditional rug. Tape, more tape, heavy objects, evil glares…but the curling still continued. I just tossed a giant gorgeous rug after 5 years of fighting it. It was maddening and constantly tripped me. Deal breaker!

[@astridrobi]

Thank you for this. We are remodeling our home office/craft room and I was just about to pull the trigger on an 8x10 as we have big dogs, one of whom is geriatric. HOWEVER, my 86 year old mom also lives with us and uses a walker, so the curling issue will definitely be a big tripping/falling hazard. I so appreciate your candor!

[@flowersafeheart]

Honest, detailed reviews of pros and cons from people with long-term experience of hard use (in this case, two playful and maybe shedding dogs) of a product are so valuable! This review feels very genuine. Thank you!! I've been eyeing Ruggables awhile cause it doesn't seem easy to find rugs this low-cost and machine-washable. Especially with pets, machine-washing sounds more thorough and simple than just vacuuming and spot-cleaning - though there are some great HEPA vacuums. After reading the comments here, I still feel yes to trying Ruggable - but with double-sided rug tape on edges if needed. It may not feel as fun as plush high-pile, natural materials, or the great qualities of wool. I don't know if I'll find a pattern I love. I do hear her on slow ship times, poor customer service, bad return policy, etc. But for me, I'm thinking machine-washable and price will make it worth it. Especially with asthma/allergy issues. A comment said Ruggable said they've improved the curling. A comment said a steamer may help - though the video did say ironing didn't work. What year did she buy them I wonder?

[@ambushb0y]

I'm skeptical but your points aided my skepticism, the curling edges would drive me nuts . Awesome video btw

[@guitar4life09]

I got mine this week & it came quickly after ordering. I ordered a runner & I love it. I have it under my double sink vanity to stand on. It feels cool & not super squishy under my feet but I’m thrilled with how it looks & that I can wash it considering it’s in my bathroom. I hope it doesn’t curl so I’ll watch for that. I feel it’s worth it since having rugs cleaned is very expensive

[@ckunclrs]

I've never had curling issues at all with my 3 rugs

[@vidz953]

Thanks for this! Was looking into getting a rug - like you said they're not the cheapest investment ever. The curling makes it an absolute no-go for me! Thanks for saving my sanity. :)

[@loeserlegal]

I can't tell you how many large, expensive 9x12 rugs I've had to get rid of my 2 dogs. I can put up with curling and other issues to have a clean rug that doesn't smell. Also, it seems they must have listened to your comments about their return shipping. They came out with a Michael Adler collection right after I bought one of their rugs and they let me swap it out with no restocking or shipping fee. Of course, the Adler rug was smaller (round) but I'm not complaining. Looks great.

[@tamifraley300]

The curling rugs edges are a tripping hazard for older citizens

[@BelindaTN]

All rugs are a tripping hazard for seniors and handicapped people. As are the slick floors. Carpeting is the safest for seniors.

I have several of these rugs and LOVE them. No curling problems, vacuum easily. All my neighbors have bought them and not had any issues that I know of. Great designs, I swap them out for the holidays and I feel that I have totally redecorated. We have a robot vacuum and it goes right over and it and never gets hung up.

Just a heads up: this is from Jul 25, 2019. A month ago I talked with someone at Rugable about the deterrent to my purchase of a Rug through them are the complained of curling. I was told that has been fixed and no longer happens.

[@yvettecisneros4421]

Interesting. Thank you for this. I was also deterred by the curl and attaching back once washed.

[@sfgamedevelopment]

Thanks for this, just ordered a rug through them. Personally if it happens I don't care because I'll just buy area rug specific double sided tape, also they are cheaper than alternatives like west elm etc.

[@skyxstl]

Thank you! Hopefully that’s the case since I just purchased a runner rug from ruggable and am super excited but the possible curling makes me nervous 😬

[@bluize888]

I’ve had 2 ruggable runners for almost 2 years now. There’s slight curling at the corners after I wash them but I just tape them down until the fabric relaxes. After reading the comments I’ll try my steamer to relax the fabric. BUT NOTHING BEATS BEING ABLE TO WASH THEM. Mine are at the entry from the garage and in the kitchen between sink/dishwasher and stove. Being able to wash rugs in those areas is game changer for keeping the house feeling and smelling (I assume) clean. I don’t know what is typical, but I don’t send my other rugs out for cleaning every year. Every other year if I remember. FYI, tripping is a concern in our household both for my husband and my mother when she visits and it’s never been an issue. Actually, I have to pick up my hand-knotted rugs when Mom visits because between their height and the pad beneath them, they are more of a tripping hazard.

[@jeannineducey248]

Thanks for the objective review! i was ready to order, but like others, the curling issue is something i wouldn't be able to deal with.

[@luckydogsanctuary]

Thank you so much for an honest review. I wish you'd have mentioned how scratchy the pad is and that while the rug is in the wash, the pad is going to collect fur and not give it up!

It will last longer and you will be much happier in the long run.

[@nannettecouch1945]

They make a double sided tape for holding rugs in place--you should try that

[@lauradissinger5404]

Just be careful when you are using tape on hardwood floors. It can remove the finish or damage the wood itself.

[@winebox]

T H most indoor rugs can be washed. Look on KZbin for videos about washing oriental rugs. Of course most people don’t have that kind of equipment but I’ve washed inexpensive area rugs with a hose and a little dish soap and a broom to get surface dirt off. Just wait for a hot day and prop it up on some kind of supports to let it dry. I wanted a Ruggable for our dining room since after holiday dinners there’s all kinds of food on the floor. But after watching this, no way.

[@adamleblanc221]

For those worried about the curling she mentions, I'm rather sure that a simple roll carpet tape would work. Not sure if that'd affect the washability of the product but i doubt it.

[@almack2412]

Thank you SO much for your thorough and honest, non-sponsored review. Customer service is important and all your touch points convinced me NOT to shop there. I was going to buy three and now I'm going to stick to Lowe's rugs because 5 years ago I bought one there and it's still great even with three kids and three dogs!

[@ctine882]

I've had my Ruggable rug for about 2 months now and don't have the curling problem at all. Everything else you've said I agree with. I did know how long it was going to take to get it though, but maybe thats because I ordered it in the middle of Covid. I probably won't wash it but, maybe 4 times a year unless the cats puke on it because it will be a pain to move all the furniture. If you have animals it is such a great feature that you can wash it. If you want a more cushy feel they do have a cushier pad that you can get. I just bought the regular one. I will be purchasing another rug for my home..a runner for my kitchen in the future.

[@alextube1101]

Thank you for making this video! I have been on the fence for awhile. They charge $75 shipping to Hawaii for a small runner which is twice the price of what UPS quoted me. That seemed strange, but the curling is a deal breaker. I would be so upset spending $220 on a runner for it to curl, especially in the kitchen. Thanks again! Great video! I also wanted to add that I appreciate the very little "mouth noises" in the video. It might seem really strange, but for some people who deal with misophonia, its basically impossible to watch video reviews with all the lip smacking and spit noises.

[@alexak5636]

Thank you for this!!! I ordered the product and I hate it. It is so cheap and feels like a mat. I have a fully carpeted rental unit, and it should have been said this rug sucks on carpet. But since they don't allow real customer reviews, how would I have known that? My friends all think its gross too, and feels so cheap and tacky on your foot. It looks cheaply printed. The website doesn't let me review!!!!!!!! All the reviews on the website are clearly fake, there is zero place for me to review / zero email asking. I am returning it, and I am really scared they're going to charge me for things because the email says "they inspect it heavily". I am really disappointed in the company :overall return policy, customer service, and bait and switch marketing

[@sammy4634]

I’ll have to look out for those cons. Not experiencing any issues...no curling of the edges...I’ve had the rugs for 3 months. I think they must have made the padding bigger. The padding holds down the rug like Velcro.

[@tinagarcia7851]

Have you washed it yet?

[@sammy4634]

@@tinagarcia7851 yes. No curling of the edges. After I washed the rug in my regular washing machine it looked so great. Nice and clean, no curling.

[@imanitraylor2093]

Appreciate the review. The curling could be a deal breaker.

[@sparkjoylauren7848]

Thank you for your honesty! I bought a small one over year ago and returned it because not liking color. I disliked the cost to return. Best review and saved me from buying a large area rug for new home based on your cons.

[@tjj9737]

Was in the process of putting my credit card info in to bite the bullet and buy it.. sooo happy I thought to watch a non sponsored review. The curling is an automatic no for me.

Ruggable now has padded rug bases, with added corner pockets to hold them to the pad. I have 10 ruggable rugs and have replaced nearly all of the original pads with them. They are soft and more luxurious and give a more upscale look. I have 3 of the new shag rugs, in my bathrooms and guest room and they are thick and so sturdy. You should visit their sight and see the new and improved rug covers and pads. I’m obsessed. Thanks for sharing your review!

[@loriberry1896]

I bought this rug and wanted to love it. I had the same issue with the curling up on the edges and just couldn’t take it anymore so I got rid of it and bought a regular area rug. Also, my rug was on top of tile and you could see the indent of the grout lines through the rug.

[@theblogauthority]

OMG.. it is so thin you can see the grout lines? 😂 🤣 How can they even call these things rugs? They sound more like colorful blankets. 😆 🤣

[@sammy4634]

I’ve had them for over a year...washing/drying and everything. I dry it in the dryer. Truthfully, I don’t have to wash very often; my ruggables are dark colored. But I have washed and dried in dryer and no curling on the ends. Soon as it was dried, I stretched it out on the Velcro padding and it was new again. So sorry you had so many issues. It is worth it for me. Smells so clean after you wash it. 👍

[@bluecatblz]

Curling is one reason I am looking to replace my current rug! I would feel super bummed and annoyed if I spent $400+ for a new rug that was thinner...that also curled, and was potentially impossible to return. Sad because I found the perfect design! I just can’t risk it at that price point sadly. Appreciate the review

[@brihorne7104]

THANK YOU for making this video. I’ve been on the fence for a while and was literally JUST about to purchase but figured I’d watch some reviews first- I’m glad I started with yours.

[@KymNonStop]

thanks for the honest review!

[@jafrompa1555]

Hello and thank you very much for this . You may have saved this granny a fall from a curled rug. It definitely helped me make my decision not to buy. I appreciate your honesty. Too bad the company cannot be more honest with their customers.

[@peneloperox6301]

I have 4 dogs and I am searching for new rugs. Saw an add for ruggable, then came across this review. Thank you for an honest, no BS review! So hard to find an honest and non-sponsored review anymore. I would deal with most of the things you mentioned to be able to wash it, but the curling is just not at all something I could overlook for such a high price point. I can already see me tripping on it late at night. Also, I didn't even consider the dry time, so glad you brought it up! I can't even imagine trying to keep my dogs from chewing on that while I was waiting for the rug to dry. :-/ For the cost, it's just not worth it to me.

[@OakAbode]

Thanks for the kind words! Maybe a bigger dryer wouldn't take as long to dry it as ours would? But it does put us off from washing it as the drying alone becomes a day-long chore.

[@laureenrobinson3233]

I have 2 outdoor ruggables. I need to take them to a laundromat. No way does one fit in my washer.

[@randyw4984]

thanks for the honesty!!! I just ordered a runner and didn't realize how long the ship time was either....3 weeks and counting

[@kittymervine6115]

thank you for a really balanced review. I was so glad to find a REAL REVIEW, and not all the usual promotion. You won a subscription by this.

[@yenhoang3856]

Thank you. This is the most honest review that I have ever watched.

[@allstarwil]

I got sticky pads to go under corner of rugs and they worked perfectly! Amazon

[@OakAbode]

So glad to hear it! Wish it was only the corners for us too... not about to line all the long edges with sticky pads 😂😂

[@barbarabarraclough53]

I ordered my ruggable rug last Sunday and it arrived today, Saturday! Six days! Amazing.

[@realgirl2704]

I noticed the curling at the beginning of your video before you mentioned it. That's pretty bad looking for that much money. You can get a fabulous rug for that much money.

[@theblogauthority]

Exactly! Why people buy these things is beyond me.

[@peach1880]

@@theblogauthority People buy them because they have kids or pets. A fabulous rug is great, but a fabulous rug isn't going to last long with kids and/or pets (especially in high traffic areas of a home). Getting a rug professionally cleaned on a regular basis will add up in cost pretty quickly.

[@mlauren564]

I have had my 3 year old 8x10' ruggable in my dining room, which is also the path to my kitchen so it gets a lot of use, and i have never had a problem with edge curling. Once in awhile the corner will flip up, but if I put it back down it goes down completely flat. I haven't washed it yet, but I vacuum regularly. I got some watercolor paint on it and just hand washed that part of the rug and the color came out easily. I also really like that the rugs and pads are USA manufactured. I got my 3x5' rug that I just ordered this week within a few days.

[@kimjenkins6253]

Thank you for the well thought out and honest review. Love your "fur" babies! 🐶

How awesome to find fully transparent review!! Thanks!!

[@livijean1]

Thank you for the candid review! This is exactly what I needed!

[@MicheMoshMash]

Thank you so much for this review! You have stopped me from making a bad purchase. The curling issue would drive me CRAZY!

[@davidhines68]

This review is brilliant. Thanks so much for being so thorough.

[@mrsleavelle1]

Hands down agree with all points you made. We have only had ours 3 months and this is our experience after about 2 months

[@AndreaRichard]

thank you so much for the amazing review!! I would have made the purchase if I hadn't seen this. Time to look elsewhere!! Thank you!! Hopefully, Ruggable sees this and corrects their issues before their business falls apart.

[@missjoanbonzo]

Thank you! i was interested in buying ruggable rug but because of the fact that the rug curls up, that would drive me crazy! thanks for posting this video :)

[@debrascott8775]

We have 4 of them. No curling. Fantastic customer service. 🤷‍♀️

[@meikazack3422]

I was about to order one of these till I saw the curling thanks for the honest review. I will wait till they address this issue.

[@rebekkad.2092]

Thank you. The fact that they curl is a deal breaker.
