    I do but cant find the charging cable for it

    They are not great to be honest imo good for novelty but thats it

    Getting out the gtec airram is quicker and more effective

      Ah, but you still have to push it round the room, a Roomba goes on it's own.

      Yes but doesnt pick up as well and takes forever and doesnt necessarily do every part of the room

      I dont know what make my mum lent me when i was too sick to sit up but she still had to come and vacuum because the robot cleaner did a half arsed job

        Son has one, it works well on his downstairs which is all wooden and tiled floors. I don't think they are so good on carpet. He lets it loose twice a week and it roams about when he is at work, when it's battery get low it finds it's way back to the charging station re-charges then carries on. very clever but not as thorough as doing it by hand.
