I have one...just wish it were the newer model with the self empty device...I think the one advantage is cleaning under the beds there's no way I can get under there to clean or move the bed..

Don't have one, but my sister really loves hers.

 

A funny aside .....  I read that approximately 91% of people who own those give their device a name!  LOL   

 

After I read that, I asked, and my sister said she named hers Sprocket.   Woman LOL

 

 


My parents had a pool vacuum that worked like a roomba does for the house.  They named their pool vac Flash.

I have one and love it.   I have the 700 series.  I don't  know what the TSV is.  It takes a little time to get used to it but I have not vacuumed in a long time.  We have two dogs and live in a rancher.  It does the whole house.

My MIL had a Roomba, she likes it.  Now she has a cleaning person.  I have a Shark Ion.  I like it a lot.  Got 3, one on each level of my house.

I've had one for about 5 years now; personally, it's more of a hassle than just getting my Shark Vacuum out; the Roomba often gets stuck in a room unless I have made sure to block the doors open. Sometimes it gets stuck behind furniture and often "forgets" to head back to it's charging base.

We had one years ago when we had two cats.   These had brushes on the rollers and you had to clean them most everytime you used it first.   It was a real pain.

 

I think now they have eliminated the brushes but if not, we wouldn't get another one.

I had similar issues with mine and returned it. Our house is not an open floorplan...many separate rooms and mine just couldn't finish a whole room before it would get stuck somehwere. I could vacuum the floors myself with less work than following the roomba around and moving it again.
