It is totally blind and doesn't seem to seek out obvious dirt and debris. Plus it seems to forget the rooms it cleans over and over again -- once it maps the room out, why doesn't it clean in a pattern? Pretty annoying and way over hyped IMO.

I ended up buying a Dyson as a real vacuum, though. I actually got a letter from iRobot last week about the brush problem (see post update). I ended up buying a Dyson as a real vacuum, though.

Oh yeah, and Roombas are known to have the ability to influence Dysons. Those are signs for an uprising. You better watch out. Oh yeah, and Roombas are known to have the ability to influence Dysons.

I'm also considering a Dyson, but as a replacement for my Eureka cheapo upright, not my Roomba.<br /><br />However, my Roomba has been acting up recently. Seems to get confused or something. It'll hit invisible walls, run in random circles, stop and think for a few seconds at a time, etc. Weird.
