RE: Roomba

I'd definitely say it is not a replacement for a standard vacuum
(unless
your vacuum is particularly bad!). It doesn't have anywhere near the
suction of something like a Dyson. I think you'd need to still use a
regular vacuum once in a while (depending how dirty or clean you like
your floors!)



Surprisingly it does pick up quite a bit of dust/dirt and hair though
(listen to me - I'm turning into the good housekeeping guide!!!)

Currently looking for a new vacuum. Would those who have one say that
it
is a 
replacement to a standard vacuum? ie...will we still need a 'proper'
hoover 
once in a while?
