Roomba or similar robot vacuum

[Arkii]

Does anyone have one and do you rate it. We have large rooms tiled or with wooden floor and I'm sick of constantly lugging around my Henry Hoover to get rid of dog hair. Love the thought of just letting a robot do its thing. Am really wary of spending loads of money though on a gimmick that doesn't really do the job. Was looking at a Roomba 620 for about £230.

Do it do it do it. We've had a. Roomba for about 4/5 years and love it!

We've recently got one of these: botvac It's brilliant! Can't compare it to any others as it's the first we've had, but as it's square at the front, I would imagine it would go into corners much better than a Roomba. As it's so easy, three times a week, I lift a few things out of the way and set it going when I leave for work. Previously I would never have vacuumed three times a week, so the house is generally much cleaner. I just need to teach it to do the stairs and the ironing and then it'll be perfect
