Roomba vacuum cleaner what are the pros and cons?


The Roomba vacs look really cute but I am not sure if I should get one. I would like to buy something that is small for the kids to use in thier room. Also I wanted to find out more about how long it takes to program (set the sensors) and the level of noise it puts out. And is it true that once it's done it can go back to it's base? What about cost?

I've only found it to work well in my kitchen dining area which is linoleum flooring. The deep pile carpet tends to hold on to things and so we have to vacuum anyway. Then I have to put a board to separate the dining area so Roomba doesn't go in there. In the time it takes to set up the Roomba and then service it I can quickly run the vac over the two rooms. Not worth the price for sure.

    Its expensive $200 for what it does ( clean carpet)
    I'd rather just vacuum the dang carpet with a regualr vacuum and get it over with instead of waiting for Roomba to finally get over to the messy area

    Its great for a single lazy bachelor

    i dont have one but on "the view" (at least i think thats what i was watching) they reviewed it and said a downfall is that it does not get into corners

    I gave my Mom one for Christmas last year. She has had knee replacement and is advised by her doctor not to vacuum. She likes it, very well. She has a combination of hardwood, with area rugs, and they always look very clean.
