I love my Roomba but my dog doesn't. So if I want the dog to quite bugging me, I can turn on Roomba. I had a Scooba too, for a while, but took it back. It didn't work as well. Roomba works hard, over rungs and wood floors. Sometimes he (mine's a male) gets lazy and cries out that he's stuck, but mostly he's reliable.
