Any body got one. Wanting to know if they work fairly well. Do they get stuck? Do they pick up pet hair off hardwood floors? Are they worth $300.

I had one. Wasn't worth the $300 in my opinion. It picks stuff up but if you have a dog or wife with long or even shoulder length hair then you might as well go piss in the wind and then find a wild hog and shove $300 up its ass.

My wife picked one up for like half off on black Friday so yeah to us it's been worth it. Works well. Hasn't gotten stuck yet. Don't have hardwoods so can't speak to that one.

Got one, ours gets stuck but we move a few things around to help it out. Does a good job of vacuuming but it's not going to replace your vacuum. We use ours in-between to help out.

And Gets the hell out of dog hair on hardwood floors. My wife sweeps hair and stuff away from the baseboards to make it easier for the vacuum to pick it up. It was worth the money in my opinion. We usually turn it on when we leave the house

Parents have one. Like others, it doesn't replace the vacuum but it works well for in between vacuums.

Greatest invention ever. Bought a samsung a few months ago and couldnt be happier with it. Have a dog and cat and it gets the hair, changes speeds depending on the flooring type, and weaves in and out of furniture like its nothing. It is wifi controlled so you can tell it on your phone to get after it and it does or just turn it on when you leave and it cleans up and takes itself back to the dock. My wife loves it.

Get rid of the inside pets and you won't need the Rhoomba.

You will not only save the cost of the machine, but you will also save $6,500 in lifetime costs per dog or $7,600 per cat.

We have a dog and my wife runs it every day. You'll still have to vacuum every once in a while to get everything. It does cut down on the amount of hair in the house. We do have hardwoods mostly.

It would probably be better and pick up more if you rotate the area/room it vacuums everyday. Definitely don't turn it on with access to the whole house and expect much.

It does get stuck every once in a while under our couch or loveseat. You can measure clearance though. It may fit under your furniture. It also took the finish off of some wood chairs where it bumps into them.

Floors get dirty with or without pets. If you have inside pets its just another perk to the robots.

We have one. All hardwoods and two cats. For us, it has been fantastic.

Mine found a $250 Wilson A2000 the kids had "lost". We looked for that glove everywhere for a month, except under the couch. Lol. Rhoomba swallowed a long lacing and stalled out. Went looking for the rhoomba, and found both.

Seriously, money well spent IMO. If you have pets, it will amaze you how much pet hair they lose every day.

Does it empty itself? If not I'm going to invent one that does.

What if your dog is your favorite family member?
