I'd say the first few years of owning a Roomba were magical, but recently a combination of too many children's toys on the floor, and working from home has meant that I don't use the daily-schedule any more.

I have to remember to turn it on when I head out for a beer, go shopping, or do something else outside the home. There were a few days I was working from home, on a video-call, when the robot started cleaning away.

Wonderfully useful tools, but not at all quiet!

I agree about the children, Lego pieces on the floor are a big issue. Working from home the only issue is the noise it makes but because its constant my noise cancelling headphones filter it out completely.
