I vacuum daily (3 cats, 1 puppy) to keep my house clean and pet hair free.
I'm thinking about getting the iRobot Roomba 560 pet series vacuum to help with the daily vacuuming. Obviously I'll still vacuum on weekends/when needed. But I'd like the cleaning load to be easier.
What are the good/bad things about the robot?
How often do you have to buy brushes?
What are some things about the vacuum that they don't tell you?
The cheapest I've found so far is $246 (refurbished) + shipping (I live in Alaska)
Or $369 free shipping and free replenish kit
What do you think?
ROOMBAs are just too KOOL;
But they are also cheaply built and do not last as long as their prices might indicate. They also have considerable battery life issues.

Hello. I have 3 dogs that shed a lot. Most of my house is white carpet so the hair and dirt show easy. All of the carpet in my house is quite thick and tends to show a lot of the dirt because it also has a large amount of traffic. I generally have to vacuum every to every other day. So I was just browsing online and saw a used iRobot Roomba 560 for a decent price. If I have it scheduled to vacuum everyday at a certain time will it do an effective job and will my carpets become cleaner? Thanks!

Filmed on location in South Carolina, The Price of Heaven represents one of the forays into the realm of made-for-TV movies by celebrated director Peter Bogdanovich. The story takes place in the early 1950s, as Korean war hero Jerry Shand (Grant Show) returns to his Southern hometown. Aspiring to medical school, Jerry lands a low-paying but steady job selling funeral insurance to the local black community. When ordered to collect back premium payments from the elderly and impoverished Vesta Battle (Cicely Tyson in a virtual reprise of her "Miss Jane Pittman" characterization), Jerry is prevented from doing so by his newly awakened compassion and social consciousness--thereby placing his job, and his entire future as a "good Southerner", in jeopardy. On a more personal level, Jerry is torn between love for his childhood sweetheart, whose family runs a local laundry, and lust for the predatory daughter of a wealthy cotton-mill owner (shades of Bette Davis!) Based on a novella by Allan Gurganus and first telecast over the CBS network on August 17, 1997, The Price of Heaven has since been shown on cable TV under the title Blessed Assurance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
While most regular citizens view American POWs as nothing less than war heroes, many fail to realize that a good deal of former POWs view their capture as a personal failure, and silently carry that burden for years - and even decades - after returning home from the battlefield. In this award winning documentary, seven World War II veterans come together to share their stories and partake in a unique discussion designed to restore their shattered self esteem. Fifty years after defeating the enemy overseas, these veterans unite on their native soil to conquer one final foe. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
