Xringer,
I have a 400 series Roomba that I picked up at Big Lots for $99. It works great for me. I have no carpet. I'm still in renovation of the house. I live alone. It was said earlier that Roomba's are noisy. That's absolutely true, so I turn it on before I go to work and empty it when I get home. I think its great, however, sometimes it starts up doing a backward dance like it can't get its bearings. A few blasts from a can if compressed air cleans out the bump sensors, and it good as new.
I liked it so much I went and got a Scooba with my tax refund check. It works great too, however cleaning is a bit more involved than the Roomba. The Scooba does NOT like climbing anything, even a 1/4 inch tile. The Roomba tackles that with no problem. I just alternate between the two every day and I really don't have to worry about hiring a maid.
Good luck with it.
