Just curious if you like it. I am considering saving up for one since I can never get to vacuuming and cannot afford the cleaning lady route. I have a dog and am also wondering if it can handle dog hair(we have a lab--didn't realize how much they shed-but she is still a pup).

I would love to have one! Can you just leave it running 24/7?  That would be about right in this house.

I was hoping for setting it for one room a day. I certainly can't afford more than one. One room per day would be more than gets vacuumed now!

Oh dear! That's what I was thinking too! 
Seriously, my kitchen floor alone is like gravel if I don't sweep it after every meal and snack.

Save your money. We bought one from the Target after Easter. At first it worked well although the receptacle is rather small so it required frequent emptying. After 2 months it quit working. The company sent us a new one - it would not work at all - they promptly replaced it. Next one worked for 2 months then starting trying to "crawl" up the wall. Company said it was a sensor problem, we needed to download a patch into its memory, waited 3 wks for patch, still never worked well after installing the patch. We finallt tossed it. My friend is on her 2nd of the more expensive model

Ahhhh..this is the type of review I am looking for. Makes me kind of disappointed though. Maybe someone else has a better experience? I read some reviews and it seemed to be mostly retired people who loved them. Well, they just don't have the "dirt" we do with kids. I kind of thought it might be too good to be true to have a robot vacuum for me 
Still open to more reviews though..

My husband swears by, and won't let the kids touch, the Dyson. The hose reaches all the way up stairs without having to lug the vacuum up them. Besides this, you can see the dust and dirt it picks up in rooms we barely even use. I know you weren't looking for a vacuum, but this may be the ticket.

I always feared it was too good to be true!
Now what I need is something that vacuums, dusts, cooks dinner, and declutters!
[By the way, we too have a Dyson, and it is great!]
