Aaron's coworker was discarding an old Roomba. Instead of tossing it in the trash, he let Aaron keep it. Aaron, who is resourceful and enjoys tinkering with electronics, repaired it. We used it ever since, mainly to sweep the kitchen and bathrooms. It was an older model, and it wouldn't handle carpet.

When our old Roomba was failing last year - for at least the second time in its life - we knew we wanted a replacement. We planned to spend the money for a nice one. We found a good Black Friday deal. It works very well. We have been so pleased with it! It handles all the floors in our house. I have been surprised at how much debris is in the collection bin, even when it vacuums every day.
Our daughter loved our old Roomba. Roomba was one of her first words. Now she loves our new vacuum. We named it Norbert.
Pros: It just happens. It entertains our daughter. Our floor gets cleaned a lot more often than if I do it myself (sometimes more than once a day). It saves time. Our house stays neater because we try to keep clutter away so it will have a clear path. Coming home to fresh vacuum lines is so nice.
Cons: The cost, especially if you want all the "bells and whistles" available (but there are a lot of options on the market, so its possible to find one that fits your budget). It does take longer to vacuum/sweep than it would take me, so if you need a quick job a traditional vacuum might be better. Sometimes it makes sensing errors or gets confused by objects.
Robotic vacuums have come a long way in the last few years, and we highly recommend getting/saving for one.
