It sounds like you found a good solution for your situation.

I have both kids and a dog, so the daily cleaning my Roomba does is a game changer. No more piles of fur or crumbs accumulating in the corners. I have to empty the bin every other day, but it takes me less time to do that than it would to manually vacuum the main traffic areas in the house once or twice a week.

Personally, I like the fact that the Roomba forces me to keep wires and other stuff of the floor. I think it makes my house appear less cluttered overall, but it's a matter of opinion.

I actually have a cordless Dyson too, which I think complements the Roomba well. I use it to occasionally deep clean a couple of area rugs.

I can definitely see that a Roomba would be handy if I otherwise had to vacuum living areas every day or two. (And, under the circumstances of children or pets, I'd probably need to avoid having "packing piles" and wires laying around in any case.)
