I've seen a roomba in action, and it does a terrible job at cleaning a place. The feeling I got is that it replaces 30 minutes of cleaning with 50 minutes of watching a robot move around, and 20 minutes of cleaning yourself all the spots it missed.

You missed the 10 minutes of rough tidying so it doesn't scoop up your kid's puzzle pieces, the 5 minutes of cleaning the Roomba itself with a real vacuum and the 2 minutes avg of finding and freeing it from the place or string it's been stuck in. Our Roomba isn't running anymore since we have kids - it's literally more work than not doing so :P
