I have hardwood floors and a cat that sheds... a lot. It's too much work to sweep everyday, so I have huge dust bunnies in every corner of my room. If you drop a blanket or some clothing on the floor, and pick it up, it'll be covered with fur. EWWWW So I was thinking about getting a Roomba. They're kinda pricey, upwards to $500 I think. My friend has one as one of my relatives. I believe they have an older one, maybe second generation. I went to Linens And Things the other day and I saw that they sell 5th generation Roombas there, they even had a video about it. Seems interesting. What do you guys think about it? Is it worth the money? I would be concerned that it would freak out my cat, though I guess she'd figure it out eventually. Another concern is how well it would pick up fur on my wood floors, and if it would fall down my steps. Also, maintenance, how often would I have to dump out its dust bin? It must be fairly often, it's not like that thing is thatbig!
Your cat will hate you and the roomba will get prett clogged with all that cat hair. Don't spend 500 for it, wait on slick deals and get one for like 250. That's what I did.
