I'm on my second. I also have a scooba and a dirt dog.

They do not do a good enough job for those of you who are clean freaks. They're perfect for people who hate to vaccum and therefore don't very often. When run daily they do a pretty good job of keeping the floors clean. I turn mine on when I leave for work in the morning and put it on the charger when I get back from work. It's always filled with dog hair and dirt and fuzz. My house is cleaner and all I have to do is put the cords out of the way push a button and clean it out when I get home.

The dirt dog is cheap, it basically acts like a broom, it has no suction capability like a vaccum does so it just picks up the dirt. I've been known to run it in the garage.

If you have long hair and carpet you'll have to clean the brushes out daily as it'll get wrapped around the brushes, if you ignore that you'll burn out the turner thingy.

The scooba is a pain in the ass. It's easier to do a swiffer with wet pads. It has to be filled with water and special solution and it won't do the entire floor because it'll run out of water or the dirty tank will be full.

As for it cleaning. It goes in one direction then it runs into a wall or whatever and goes another direction, it's pretty random and when left in a bedroom sized room it'll do a good job on one charging cycle. It gets stuck on low furniture (I pull my dining room chairs out from the table so it doesn't get stuck between them and the table), cords, fringy rugs, the new ones don't get stuck as much as the old model.

Do not buy an older model or a refurbished model. You want the new technology because the battery and bin size will be better ect. . As for refurbished models they get fixed for the thing they were sent in for even if that wasn't the only thing wrong with them so you're likely to get a crappy one and your warentee is cut in thirds.

They come with a 12 month warentee and if you break yours (I've broken several) in the 12 months you call and they mail you a new one. We just got a new one because our old one wasn't charging well, it was 11 months into the warentee.
