I agree, I probably do my best thinking while not staring at a screen. But I'm asking about seating for work that requires a computer.

Perhaps, but I don't think it would be impractical for something that's nearly $5,000 already. You would likely spec two smaller, cheaper motors; altogether it would cost more, but not as much as two of the motors it has now.

Yes, I agree. I was careful to say from a mechanical standpoint.

I mostly agree about the advantages, but two motors would be arguably simpler from a mechanical standpoint.

I wonder how those rear wheels handle corners. I'm a little surprised they didn't use two independent drive motors, versus a single motor and solid axle, which could be extended to implement an electronic differential.

Quick conversions in the kitchen ("what's 1/3 cup to tablespoons?"), controlling smart home features ("turn on the living room lights", "tell the thermostat I'm hot"), getting weather forecasts ("what's the weather today?"), etc. I've found the use cases increase the longer you have one.

In my opinion, that's the point of them. One Roomba run is not equivalent to manually vacuuming your house, but they don't mind cleaning every single day.

In my opinion, it's a totally different approach that accomplishes roughly the same thing. I agree that manually vacuuming is better, but you probably don't have the wherewithal to do it daily. The average amount of dirt on your floors after manually cleaning once or twice a week is probably the same, or more, as what a Roomba leaves on the floors after cleaning daily. That's really where it shines: relentlessly cleaning every day.

I have a similar combination, the i7 with a 240, and I also think they're great. I can't even remember life before daily automatic floor cleanings. I think you're right about iRobot's competition iterating more quickly, and I'm also concerned that they might get left behind. Another concern is their pricing. They're clearing trying to establish their robots as the premium models in the market space—ones that "just work"—but the price tags are astronomical. Their two flagship models, which were advertised as working best in tandem, cost nearly $2,000 together when they were first released.

The 600 series is actually a relatively mature product line; there are only two models in this series currently, but there were many before them. The 900 series used to have the 980 and 985 in addition to the 960, but iRobot shifted its focus to the "e", "i", and "s" series. These are all brand new product lines, and I don't doubt that the e5, i7 and s9 won't be the last models in each one. Furthermore, I suspect the 600 and 900 series will be discontinued altogether in the next year or two. You just happened to be shopping for a Roomba while iRobot was changing their product naming scheme.

Yes, cleaning with/without lights is another consideration, but an easy one to overcome no matter your preference. I went all in and have smart lighting that comes on when the Roomba runs at night, but it doesn't need much light, and the same thing could be accomplished with a cheap Hue bulb or even a "dumb" timer.

It sounds like you found a good solution for your situation.

I have both kids and a dog, so the daily cleaning my Roomba does is a game changer. No more piles of fur or crumbs accumulating in the corners. I have to empty the bin every other day, but it takes me less time to do that than it would to manually vacuum the main traffic areas in the house once or twice a week.

Personally, I like the fact that the Roomba forces me to keep wires and other stuff of the floor. I think it makes my house appear less cluttered overall, but it's a matter of opinion.

I actually have a cordless Dyson too, which I think complements the Roomba well. I use it to occasionally deep clean a couple of area rugs.

The simplest machine that will clean your living room? That'd be the 675. It's currently $219.99 on their website--it can easily clean one room.

But you also mention having them "all over [your] house." In that case, I'd recommend the i7 or s9. I've got the i7 and I think it's fantastic.

There are a few factors to consider, but it's not complicated. Do you have mostly carpet or hard flooring? Any kids or pets? Do you want it to clean the whole house or just one room?

Another issue is that it can cause osmotic diarrhea since it essentially stays in the intestines.

Thank you! I didn't see the other form!
