Default Roomba!

Ok i think I've asked this before but anyone here have experiences with a roomba or any other robotic vacuum?

I'm looking to get one but not sure just how effective they are. I was looking at the Neato XV-11.

my in-laws have had 3 break. not sure of the model. it was ok when it worked, and they only had a small amount of carpet to vacuum. but they never use it anymore because it just keeps breaking.

Yeah i dont have carpet at my place. It's really to keep cat hair off the floors. I have a cleaning lady come in every week... but in between the cat are a bit too messy.

If you don't have carpet then it should be fine just make sure to empty it often if it's picking up cat hair. It should also entertain your cat when it runs...

Just wait for woot to put them on sale. Typically a roomba during every woot off.
