I've never had a super strong vacuum, but, as others have said, the main attraction of the robot is that is can do its business much more often than I would vacuum myself. So, to me, the house is actually cleaner, because there is no way I would vacuum every day. And even if the suction isn't up to a regular one's standard, I'm still quite amazed by how much dust it gathers every time. And I don't have pets, and live in a relatively small apartment.
