I have the cheap one ($150) but I wish I spent more and got the one that you can schedule to run when you arent home. Its a bit loud and inconvenient to have
it bumping against your feet while you are at home watching TV.

for $500 you could pay someone to vacuum and clean at least 3 times
it just seems silly |

With all the bumping into furniture and walls it has to do some damage over time.

Unless its bumpers are made of hummingbird feathers covered in silk I suppose.

For $500, I'll vacuum my own floors.

The bump is pretty delicate. I bump harder when I push a real vacuum. And when I say "I bump harder", I mean my maid of course. Oh yeah, I am really really lazy. |

Plus, my son does about 10 times more damage on a daily basis than my Roomba - not to mention he's generally the cause of the mess in the first place. Now that I've got this Roomba I don't even see the point of getting a maid - well, except for cleaning bathrooms. I loathe cleaning bathrooms. They need to invent a robot I can throw in my bathroom, shut the door and come back 20 minutes later to sparkling cleanness. |

I have 4 of them. The Scooba is amazing, I hate cleaning the tile floors myself.

I have a roomba and I love it. I turn it on before I go to bed and before I leave the house (provided it's charged). It gets most of the downstairs in
that time. It doesn't get stuck here unless it locks itself in the bathroom or I leave cords out. It cleans under the couches and tables.
It doesn't do as good a job as a real vaccum, but I don't have to do anything but push the button. If you're someone that vaccums daily then you wouldn't like it. If you vaccum weekly or bimonthly or never it does a good enough job that you'll be happy because you'll run the roomba much more than you would run a regular vaccum. I want one of the new better ones. I've had mine for almost two years (it's my second roomba). My dogs never had a problem with it. After barking at it initally they just ignore it now. Scooba isn't as good because it's really loud and a lot of work to get set up and it doesn't do a large area. It's easier to do a swiffer with a wet cloth than to set up the scooba. |

We've had ours for a year now. Works just fine on carpet and flat surfaces. It has a little side brush dealie that gets into corners and crannies and
sweeps the dirt into the robot's path. The program it runs on is pretty thorough - I've never seen the thing miss a spot. Great for maintenance
cleaning.
