It was pricy...yes. It does need to be cleaned out often...yes. BUT.....that's minor compared to the time that I am saving with this! We have 4 children age 8-14 and a american staffordshire terrier.....we only have one room that is carpeted....the other 3000+ square feet are wood floors....you know the kind where the dust bunnies make their way to the corner really quickly? I used to spend so much time sweeping and vacuuming every day. I remember thinking one time that I would like to have a job outside the home rather than work from home all the time....then I wondered BUT WHO WOULD CLEAN THE FLOORS? It was THAT bad...seriously! I have 1 roomba for each floor....this pet one we use on the main floor because that is where the dog mainly is but it also works better on things like grass, people hair, bigger crumbs etc so I'm thinking about replacing the other with this one. I love this thing and gave it a perfect rating but there are...

The service didn't work during peak times, I would go to pay my bill and it would say no balance due so I would have to call them and spend up to an hour on the phone to get my bill paid...the list goes on. We wanted to get the kids all phones on Verizon as well but they were with us at the store so we just let them walk around and watched what they were doing so we knew what interested them. I only looked at a couple of phones....none of them that were in the price range that I was willing to pay seemed very impressive to me but I didn't have a ton of time to look since I was observing the kids. We came home and decided to place the order online. I read online reviews of the few that interested me and the EnV looked by far the best. When it arrived, I looked at it and said...
