Which one did you get? We have all laminate flooring with a cat who sheds like a mad woman. Also do you have any type of area rugs, if so how does it work with them?

Too funny! I think you need to get him one too.

I do have area rugs...that thing just goes right on them and vacums them too! It is wonderful! Cat hair - NO problem! It does get stuck under my couch occsionally...I love it, I am considering getting a second one for my upstairs that way I can run them both every day while I am at work.

Which model do you have? I know there are some for $100 and then the super $300 one.

We had one. I think it's definitely an okay to have but not a necessity. It would get stuck going in circles, and take FOREVER to actually do an entire room. And it didn't do some spaces/corners well at all. It's good for a light, effortless cleaning (albeit slow) but you still definitely need a regular vacuum for a thorough cleaning.

We have one on our registry. I'd love to have one that goes everyday while we're at work. Not sure the kitties will enjoy it though!

Thanks for posting everyone. I was wondering what people thought of them. We are thinking of getting one. Thanks!

 My friend really really wanted one, so I got it (in with a few other friends) for her wedding.  She was so thrilled. She still talks about it.
