Reply #8: I've heard from cleaning pros that Roomba is OK for basic residential use [View All]

If you have anything extreme (70s shag, 26 cats), or if your house is really huge or you're cleaning commerical space, this probably isn't the vacuum for you.

I believe HEPA filters aren't available, so if you've got severe allergies, you also might want something else.

I think, if I got a Roomba, one of my birds would either be scared to death of it or angry and yell at it, and the other would want to ride it. Could be interesting.
