Roomba Scheduler review

Got my roomba last week and it works pretty good! The pets were a little freaked out about the new inhabitant of the household but they're getting used to it. Setup was pretty easy. Plugged in the charger, docked the roomba and after around 4 hours it was charged and ready to go. Started it up and it went around bumping into stuff and learning the room. Make sure to keep as much stuff off the floor as possible. The bin where it hold the rubbish is pretty small and it's better to clean the pet hairs off of the brush after each use. I haven't used the scheduler part of it yet. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy that option. I would go for a cheaper model for around $100 and just turn it on whenever I can at home. It's not that noisy which is good. It works really well on hard floors or tile. It's like a robot hokey sweeper. It's great for maintaining the carpet after a good cleaning by a regular vacuum cleaner. It's definitely worth the price if you factor in the time that you save cleaning the house.
