Well, I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but I don't think I'll be getting a Roomba or anything like it. A friend sent me a picture of a home with a Roomba and a "bad" dog. Apparently, while the owner was at work, the dog pooped on a rug and the Roomba tried to clean it up. The owner came home to a house with brown smears criss-crossing everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE! If you don't have inside animals, or if your animals are perfect angels and never make a mess, then no problem. But I think I'll keep my furbabies and stick to the old fashioned vacuum cleaner.
