After two and a half months, Mrs. F. and I are quite happy with our Roomba, and our cats have gotten fairly used to it, so it’s not nearly as much fun to watch them anymore when it’s vacuuming.
We’re thinking of getting a Robomow next.
I got a refurbished one on Amazon for about half the price of a new one. It was dead on arrival, so I sent it to the iRobot people and they sent me a new one. A brand new one. Woohoo! So I got a brand new Scheduler for about half price. 
OMG insanely funny. if i’d been wearing eye makeup it would have been ruined.
