I love the theory behind the roomba robotic vacuum!  BUT... the whole point of getting a device like this is to save time and make things easier and that is not the case with this particular model.  The roomba gets clogged and won't work on a regular basis.  Granted I have long curly hair and a boxer and that may add to it but I do feel that it should be able to clean a whole room without having to be cleaned.  Also, the side spinning brush broke within 2 months of having it.  Given the $300 average price tag I would expect a little more and a bit better durability from this machine.
