If the price was reasonable, would you buy a roomba robotic vacuum?
I'm considering it b/c I live with two guys who aren't clean people. One works in a stable with horses and brings home alot of straw and dirt and the other works 12-15 hours a day, and doesn't clean up after himself besides doing dishes and laundry once in a while.
I don't mind being the person who has to clean alot of the time, but I do hate vacuuming.
Under circumstances like that would you buy one? I'm leaning towards yes.

I've owned a roomba and gave roomba as present to all my family member however I've discovered that after about 2 years it breaks down. also roomba works well on hard floors but not so well on carpet. over the years I've purchased 4 roomba and taken excellent care of it. They all broke down in about 2 years. If you don't mind buying a new roomba every couple years it's great. but if your not into spending that kinda money I don't recomend it.p.s. keep in mind you also need to clean it regularly(cleaning the laser sensor areas with q-tip. etc.

I know people who have roombas and tell me that they do a good job.
Personally, I don't want a roomba. I find that vacuuming doesn't take very much time for me, so it wouldn't be worth it. If you feel like it would be worth it, go for it.... however I'd ask the guys to buy it. They're not holding up their end from the sound of things, so they could compensate some by buying a device to do some of their share of chores for them.

That sounds like a good idea. Of course, you may want to consider talking to the guys that you live with and ask them to be more responsible. If worst comes to worst though, Roomba sounds like a reasonable option. :)

i live at home with my parents and i want a roomba but i think you should be more concerned with your roomates..they should definitely clean up after themselves..you aren't their mom..and just because you're a girl doesn't mean you're their personal maid. if you do get one..make sure that your roomates pay for it ...all of it since they're the reason why your home is so dirty..

I'm leaning towards no. I'm not so sure that they will cover all of the area. They could miss spots and then you'd have to do manually any way.
You may hate to vacuum, but it doesn't take that long to do. and if you would have to do it anyway then why buy one? Good luck
