My Roomba is one of my best purchases ever, hands down. It's quieter than a normal vacuum and picks up more dust than a normal vacuum. It does a fantastic job on fur, dust, bird crumbs, rabbit poop, and all the other dirt that gets tracked into the house. It saves me many, many hours of sweeping and swiffing the house.
The only downside is that it doesn't do corners very well, so every so often I have to use a dustpan and brush or the handheld dustbuster to get those spots. No big deal.
Ours is simply named "Roomby." We refer to him as our sixth pet, the one who cleans up after the other pets. He's very cute. :)
Our birds don't really like the Roomba. They were terrified of it for a little while, but quickly got used to having it run around the floor. If I pick it up and carry it around (even just its butt compartment, to empty it out), they'll squawk and flap away from it. They're getting gradually better about it as time passes.
