I have a Roomba s9 and a Dyon v10 in a 48sqm apartment. The Roomba does not replace the Dyson, but in terms of floors the Dyson is mostly reserved for spot-cleaning. The S9 gets all the edges, and goes around each table and chair leg (though I prefer to put the chairs up on the table for easier reach).

The only thing I hate is that it gets stuff trapped in there so easily. It is meant to have some sort of anti-cord-catching technology, but unless I am very careful I will find it eating a charger or a cat toy or something. It also takes longer than my handheld vacuum, but I don't mind that - often I just quickly pick things up before I run out to the store and let it run as I leave, and then come home to a vacuumed apartment.

My cats also prefer the Roomba even though the noise is comparable. They hide from the Dyson, but couldn't give a crap about the robot running around.
