5. I want one so bad.
How long does it go unsupervised? Does it really, really do what it's suppose to?

8. Works great--but I have the perfect place for a robot vacuum cleaner
A very large studio with no major weird blockades, and kept relatively clean and neat. Still, it picks up all manner of dirt and crap

11. I want one!
I don't think I have a great place for one but there is enough animal hair to make it worthwhile. I'll ask for one for Christmas. We'll see.

10. My sister got one for XMas; saw it, and I got one
Was well worth it. I would never clean my place without it. I rank it near the dishwasher in terms of convenience

13. I have Hard wood floors...
So This would work great for me but does it really get in close to the walls where all the dust bunnies linger?

14. Yes, in my place (w/ hard word) it does a great job.
It's not PERFECT. And it you want your place to be 100% you're going to need to do some work. But if you want to vacuum once a week--or, rather, you want the Roomba to do weekly maintenance for you, it'd really perfect

16. It does get in really close
It is best for routine maintenance, not a major cleanup, but it does do a really good job and is also endlessly entertaining!:D
