I'm on my second one (couldn't find a battery replacement for the first one) and still like the convenience of it in my entry and kitchen. I had to lift all my Persian Rugs when we got Magnum last year as he thought the fringes were soothers and got an added benefit that the itching of my other girl was reduced a little, so they've stayed rolled up. However, unless I run the Roomba everyday and empty it everyday, it can't keep up to the amount of hair that she sheds. I still use a big Kenmore for heavy duty cleaning but the Roomba does replace sweeping after dinner. I currently have the Green 2.1 Version which allows you to update your software. Now I just need to find someone who knows how to tweak the programs. Still love it but recognize its limitations. It's not a BIG POWERVAC, it's a broom replacement.

It seemed like such a great idea, but the recepticle for debris is so small it doesn't do for hair from a GS, LOL, and I have oriental rugs over carpet. The rugs have fringe, and the Roomba is not good with fringe.
