I've owned Roomba since the first generation, they are well built and fun to have around, they also sweep well, the hoovering is limited to dust, the back to home has never worked that great, but then my floors are not that flat so ymmv, given that hoovering is actually something that needs to be done this is a genuine time saving device, maintained well they last around 4 years given a new battery a couple of times, beyond that if you are careful not to let threads build up around the axles and occasionally hoover out some of the microdust (if you can find the hoover...) if someone you love does not have one, this is the time of gifts so...
