RE: Roomba

Not really.  As Mark said, assuming you have stairs you'd need one
for
those, but even if you didn't, you'd need a regular vacuum to do the
edges
and corners, which Roomba does get to, but not as effectively as a
traditional vacuum.  Plus for one-off spills, it would be very
frustrating
trying to convince Roomba to go over a specific area!

As a guide, and I'm assuming I have an averagely clean house, the ratio
of
roomba:traditional is about 4:1.

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?
