I agree. Companies and consumers alike need to step back and ask themselves "How much time does it take to complete this task without this product? How much time on average will it take me to complete the task with this product?" Those are the hard numbers you should look at when buying a home automation product. I wouldn't be surprised at all if for Roomba, the numbers are 1 hour and 45 minutes, respectively.

The Roomba doesn't clean as good as I could, doesn't clean as fast as I could, and doesn't clean as cheaply as other products could. But I live in a house with laminate floors, two dogs, and a cat. Trying to keep up with their fur is a losing battle, so I'm more than happy to spend $300 once and have something that will run every day and keep the fur off the floor. It's not replacing a normal vacuum, anyone who thinks so is fooling themselves. It's to keep your house cleaner in between normal deep cleans.
