anyone have or use one of these robotic vacums. Was thinking of getting one for the wife for mothers day. The evolution is way cheaper, Are they worth a shit, or no?

Vacuum. We have the roomba pet version, works pretty well. It has trouble with our floorplan sometimes, but we have a very odd design. I'd recommend.Originally posted by davbrucasI want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

Bought a refurb Roomba off woot for keeping up with pet hair on our hard surface floors and it worked okay for what it was until it gained a mind of it's own and went berzerker. Now with kids toys, baby gates, etc., I wouldn't even bother. Too much stuff for it to have to work around and it would take forever for it to complete a clean cycle.

i bought one a few years ago, and it was suppposed to be roomba's best model, but it would only find its way back to its base every once in a while...usually it would just be sitting in the middle of the floor when we got up in the morning. after about 4-5 months, it pretty much stopped working, making noises, etc, so i just put it back in the box and stuck it in the garage. i have all hard floors (wood/tile) and no carpet, so i would think it would be pretty easy on it...maybe i just got a lemon.

In theory these should be cool little things, but reviews overall are generally mediocre at best. Considering the cost, that's the biggest reason I've never bought into one.Originally posted by MR EDDU defend him who use's racial slurs like hes drinking water.

my roomba was great if you planned in advanced, virtual walled the area off and picked up anything in its way.
did fine on my carpet and floors, did horrible on rug transitions. stock battery was a pile o shit.
still have it but it's put away till i get an Li-Ion upgrade battery for it.www.hppmotorsports.com
