It is technologically a very cool device and can do some amazing shite, when you get right down to it. Unfortunately, it does not do that good a job with the actual cleaning. if you want something to do some light sweeping on occasion I think it is fine, but for anything remotely heavy duty, it just won't cut it.

Roomba does wonders for dog shite on the floor.

Just bought the wife (no pics) the 880 from Best Buy a few weeks ago. Works great and has the upgraded sweeper system like the 900 series. I didn't splurge for the 900 because we didn't need the phone app control. The 880 comes with a small remote and has 2 virtual walls.

That's all I got and more than I thought I would ever know about them. But I wasn't going to spend $600 on something without researching first.

I got one in October. It's great. I haven't had to manually vacuum since I got it.

We bought some knock off brand on Amazon black Friday. Dont cheap out. Ours is constantly getting stuck, can't find its way back home, repeatedly cleaning same area while others stay dirty etc. It's a dustbuster on wheels, so you're paying for software and sensors. Dont cheap out like we did.

Yes, worth every penny. Wife lets it run while we are at work. We almost never use the dyson anymore.

Bought the 650 on Amazon a few weeks ago. We love it. It's nice not having a house full of pet hair.

They work great on dog shite too.

They are just toys no matter what brand. They work for a little while then degrade quickly, especially when a lot of pet hair is involved. Battery packs are filled with low-grade lithium cells, the gear train that drives the brushes is prone to filling with hair and dust which causes malfunctioning, and the filter/dirt collection assembly needs to be completely cleaned or the robot is doing nothing but spreading the crud around. My family keeps buying them and for what they've spent they could have bought a good commercial vacuum that actually works.

We got an older model for less than $200 on clearance a few months ago. We have wood floors and rugs. I let it run sometimes when I leave the house or before bed. We like it. We have four cats. It helps.

It's gotten tangled in an extension cord web under a couch or cabinet before. But usually it works flawlessly.
