I hear you on this, I’ve been through similar issues. Few comments though: - We have 3 kids, and you would think that would be a hostile Roomba environment but instead, it motivates them to keep the toys off the floor e.g. Legos. Sometimes we say “Better clean up your stuff or else Roomba’s gonna get it!” - We only buy rugs that are Roomba compatible - Our house is just one story with wood floors in every room which is also lucky and helpful - Another positive is Roomba is much better than a vacuum in terms of getting under sofas and beds. However, I agree with you on having to babysit Roomba. Roomba still gets stuck in random places - wedged underneath certain pieces of furniture. Sometimes it goes into a bathroom and somehow manages to close the door on itself. Sometimes there will be an obvious mess - small pile of dirt tracked in by the kids - Roomba will vacuum for 1 hour and travel all around the dirt and still miss it. It’s also loud - not as loud as a regular vacuum cleaner but pretty close. And considering that I can vacuum my entire house in about 15 minutes and Roomba does an equivalent job in 3 hours (3 x 1 hour sessions)... Bottom line is that we still use Roomba. But we also still use a vacuum once every 2-3 weeks or so.
