This is something I've always thought should be invented, and yet it seems almost too good to be true. I HATE to vacuum and our house is large, so it takes forever to get it done. I would love to have a vacuum that operates itself, but it's hard for me to believe that it really works. It is so small, I'm wondering if it really sucks (and by 'sucks' I mean doing what a vaccum is supposed to do!). Has anyone tried this and does it really work?

My boys (7 & 9) watched the video at Bed Bath & Beyond last week. My 7 year old says we "gotta have it" for his room. Problem is - it's hard to find the floor in his room. I don't think this robot can pickup a gazillion matchbox cars. I have visions of it either shoving them to the wall or boucing back & forth between them.
I am anxious to hear what others have to say about this contraption. It didn't appear to have a very large storage area for the dirt.
 
I don't mind vacuuming--I just want one that will SUCK--and by that I mean just what you said--one that will pick up the fuzzies, etc. I have had so many vacuums over the years--Hoover, Royal (2), Eureka, Kenmore (over a 23 year period of time)--I have yet to find one that I feel works well. Maybe I'll have to take a trip to the Bed, Bath & Beyond store! ;)
 
A friend of mine got one a few weeks ago, and is just raving about it. She wants to come over and use it at my house to show me how neat it is. She said at first it takes a long time for each room, but it gets better after a couple of times. Also, she said she had to empty it after each room. It had more the first time and is gradually getting better. So I guess it has pretty good suction. She seems to think so. You can look at them online here: http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview.jhtml?&pid=40660800&pcatid=1&catid=108
She said a friend of hers told her about. She's a vet and takes it to work to clean up the animal hair.
 

a friend of ours also has it and loves it.
 
I'm waiting for a model that will do the stairs and the furniture!
That one I'll buy...
