My MIL got me a Roomba for Christmas several years ago. I thought I would love it, but I don't. We have a dog that uses the bathroom inside, so I have to block off her potty area, and the Roomba gets stuck underneath almost everything in our living room (bookshelves, entertainment center, coffee table), so I have to block off all those areas, too. And I don't want it to go in the kitchen because that's where the dogs' water bowl is and it's usually wet around that, so I have to block it from there too. And it takes nearly two hours to do our living room/dining room. In the time it takes me to block off all the areas, I could have my entire house vacuumed. And it scares my dogs
