Hey all. I was just wondering if anyone here had the roomba vacume and how you guys liked it. I love it! I just got one a couple weeks ago and I want to tell you it is well worth the money. I have a two story townhouse and it does a nice job and gets to places that I would not otherwise see or get to.
It is very easy to use and I'd recommend it to anybody that is blind or can't get around that much especially the elderly. I bought my mom and grandma one each for their birthdays. They are highly priced but well worth it.
So I am interested to hear from others that have it and what do you think of it. It's definatly a 5 for me!

I use to have one but returned it. I also liked it, works wonders if you have tile or not so thick carpet. However, my mom's house had very thick carpet, and she was not as pleased with her results. When I move into a home with mostly tile, you can bet I'll be buying it again.

I have neither owned nor seen a Roomba. This topic, on the other hand, also appears on the boards here and here.

I've seen them in action, and I want one a lot. But they're pretty expensive. Someday, when I have money.... *Dreamy smile*
