I'm on my second Roomba, and they've been great. What impressed me was how strong the suction was. My initial thoughts were "How can something that small ever pick up as much dirt as my regular vacuum?" But it actually does better than the upright - it picks up far more dirt/cat-hair, even when the upright is on a fresh filter. Which is important with a long-haired cat - I get cat-hair tumbleweeds on the stairs. I sweep them manually down to the next floor, and hit the start button and leave for work. I return to a freshly vacuumed floor.
