When will be the year when a robot will clean my room? I've been waiting 28 years. Please just make it happen, someone.

Are you dirtier than a Roomba can handle?

The thing is that a Roomba (or Neato, I have one and they work great) only vacuums the floor. I have a kitchen, toilet, furniture that needs cleaning and dusting as well every once in a while. I still have to do my own laundry, except for the actual washing itself.

I want a robot that does all my cleaning, not just the floor. Preferably without buying 10 different robots but one that does it all.

How effective is the Roomba? Most reviews that I've read say that it doesn't replace the need to vacuum yourself.
