I have one and use it less than I could. It works much better on smooth surfaces than it does on carpet, so it is a good candidate for hardwood. It tends to need babysitting, which can get a bit tiresome. Typically I use it when I am cleaning the house. I pick up the big stuff off of the floor and let the roomba do its thing. Since you are at home most of the time (lucky retired folks) it may be a good option for you. They have ones that start at lower prices. Check discount stores along with your local big box store for ones in the $150 range. All in all, it is an expensive toy that makes my life marginally easier.
