pull it out of the box and use it--you CAN set up the zones, but we just close the doors for rooms we don't it going in!
Have a Roomba--got 2 yrs ago and it's not the largest/most powerful (maybe a 650??). We have 2 dogs that shed non-stop so have to empty the dust containers several times during the cycle and have to clean out the brushes each cycle too.
One problem we have is that it does great on the laminate and tile, but on the area rug it "drops" the dog hair around the edge. But does help with our dog hair issue and with both Dh and I having bad knees, sure helps! We call it "Thomas" after the wayward butler in Downton Abbey cause it always sees to wander into rooms we did not intend!
