turn on Roomba
walk away
hear it fucking the underside of your couch five minutes later
put up a virtual wall, reposition it, restart it
hear it chewing up the cord to your floor lamp
pull the brush out, unwind the cord, put the brush back in, restart it
it complains the brush is dirty
pull the brush out, cut all the hair off with scissors, get the hair out of the little cap hole thing, restart it
tiny container is full, leaves balls of stuff all over
pull out the tray, dump it in the trash, reinsert it, restart, walk away
Roomba starts fucking the back of a chair until it runs out of batteries
get out actual vacuum cleaner

This mirrors my experience too, not to mention it seems to run for hours, and isn't exactly quiet...I'd rather just pull out my vacuum and do it myself. I had bought a roomba and the mopping one ended up selling them both about a year later.
