    They seem to run in random patterns, meaning it can take a long time for one to hit every spot on the carpet. I guess they're ok for daily upkeep, but you'd still want to do it by hand on the weekend.

    hahahahahaha! this is amazing.


    my question is, does it automatically detect the change in hardwood to carpet?


    and i'd be weary of lettin that thing loose in my house, it's too advanced. schitt for all i know my ass comes home and all my orange juice is gone and my smut mags are out of place...who else is there to blame except that little orange juice weezin brog that's been pissin around all day. you missed the bedroom too you stupid robot!

    Yeah this seems to be true of the Roomba but the more expensive Electrolux Trilobite apparently maps out the room first before cleaning it. I'm still not convinced but I'm tempted all the same.

    A friend gave us a roomba and it straight sucks, keeps bumping into chairs, tables, etc. Tell your lazy ass friend to hire himself a maid once a week.

    The girl and I keep talking about getting one of these guys. We have two cats and think something like this could be a big help even if we still need to sweep.
