  I'll be the counter example then, to even the tally. :)

  I bought a refurbed Roomba around Christmas and it's worked like
a charm from the moment it turned it on.  The only thing I have to
watch for is one particular carpet with fringes that it likes to
suck into the brushes, if I forget to pick up that carpet first.
The worst that happens is that it gets stuck and beeps at me until
I come clear it's throat and turn it loose again.
