Anyone have a Roomba?

I think I would be a much happier person if I came home to a doghair free floor everyday.

I do! We have five dogs ... the thing saves my sanity! I still need to do heavy duty vac'ing once a week and spot cleaning whenever, but it is GREAT for daily maintenance cleaning.

we love ours and DH's family has since all bought themselves one and his grand parents even bought one for the beach house.

We had a cat and a dog (just a dog now) and it does a great job with the dog hair on the carpet. keep in mind it doesn't vacuum (no suction) it only brushes up what is on the surface of the carpet. so if all you are looking for is to get the dog hair and random lint up then its an amazing product.

I still use the regular vacuum once a month for a deep clean, but i used to have to lug out the big guy every week.

(DH named ours rosie, like from the jettsons)

I love that! Ours is named Hazel, like the TV maid.

They have a carpet one that's $320, but I think the regular one just getting all the fur up off the tile would make me happy.

This.

Our Roomba is programmable, so it comes on at 10 AM every morning and does its thing, then goes back and charges. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, and lots of foot traffic (we have a farm, so it's a lot of dirt and such) and it is fab-u-lous! DH cleans/empties it every night just because of the volume of dirt and hair.

We got one of the more expensive models, so that we could set a schedule, as well as get the "lighthouses" that came with it. They work as virtual walls until it is done in one room, then guides it to the next room, it cleans there, the other lighthouse guides it to the next room, and the lighthouses guide it back to its home base/charger.?

HTH!

MKF?

i also wanted to mention that woot.com usually has them on sale for 99$ every once in a while... def a good time to snag one if you can.

We do! Love it, love it, love it. We have an older model and it works on carpet and wood/tile floors.
