I love my Roomba - totally.
I have had battery problems with the first one I got (four years ago now) and they replaced it for free. They ended up doing this twice now in the 4 years.
I got the Scoomba as a gift, but Freecycled it because it needs floors with no grout lines or cracks and I have old and craggy wood floors in most parts of the house that aren't tiled... The soap was never fully cleaned off the floor.
Also, the Scoomba has a very small receptacle for dust. I felt like if I were to really use it I would have to either vacuum or Roomba the floors first, then start up the Scoomba afterwards. Too much of a pain for me.
With 3 dogs and a cat and boys who never remember to take off their shoes while in the house I use it just about every other day. Go out for a run while it is doing it's thing, and barefoot I can walk when I get home! I LOVE walking barefoot but feel every little dirt speck. The Roomba helps with this "princess feet" problem, as the DH calls it. Great invention. Dogs and cat don't mind it, but the Macaw hates it, so I have to show her that I blockade off her area from it's roving ways....
Who knew I'd have this much to say about this thing??
