My wife and I bought a Roomba about 3 months ago, figured I'd share my opinion.

It's not a vacuum, it's a sweeper. Our house is about 80% hard flooring, the rest is carpet. After running it on our hardwoods the first week we were amazed, maybe terrified, at the amount of dust it picked up on a daily basis! It doesn't…
