#1 I've wanted to get a Roomba but the wife isn't going for it. I think she suspects I won't actually use it to vacuum the floor. I think she knows me too well.

#2 Jonathon,

I bought the wife one the Christmas before last, it really isn't quit as useful as I would like on carpeting, but does a decent job on bare wooden floors. It has the hardest time in rooms with area rugs. The changes in elevation screw it up.

Heh, my wife also claims it was a present for myself! I argue that it shows true love!

You be the judge!

Haven't tried to hack it....yet!

#3 We've got an early model, and it works just fine. It handles the dog hair a lot better than I expected.

#5 Until it can handle the dog, forget it.
