Did you get the Pet Series model? Because those are specially made to handle pet hair, which the regular models don't so as well with.

I can see how they would work well on hardwood or vinyl, but carpet....?

Brian, this is the FUTURE! If we can't have jetpacks or force fields, we can at least have robot vacuum cleaners.

We sell a lot of Roombas and overall they do a great job. I just hope you got the one that is trained to return to base when its battery gets low.

Isn't this how The Terminator first started? Robots always turn on their masters.

Robots always turn on their masters.
Sometimes when we wake up in the middle of the night, it's sitting on the end of the bed WATCHING US! Oh sure, it acts all innocent, but I know something's up...

I wish it was my foot, there are far worse places for a cold wet nose!

I've thought of trying of of these before but I couldn't help think that in the end it'll end up scaring my cat to death of that he'll challenge the thing to some kind of gladiator-like combat. Come home and find the Roomba in pieces and that "What? Me?" look on this face.
