We have a mid-range Dyson (D 25?) I don't recall the exact model number,
but my wife loves it. She brags about it all the time. I'm kind of
vacuum-impaired.

Hmm, the height that our couches sat off the floor was the exact height as the 
roomba. So it wouldn't sense running into anything and happily drive under the 
couch, then get all confused that it's wedged into something. I'm sure the AI 
has gotten better (mine is probably at least 10 years old) 

How does it do around like kitchen table chairs or area rugs on the hardwood?

Go to walmart, buy a shark. Rock solid, lifetime warranty *** They replace

delicate fabric)
low cost
they have the new line thats got front brushes

the brand is solid, so really youd base your model on the features you want

I gave one to the old lady on one of those gift days (Christmas, birthday,

know its a good product when a woman is excited youre acting like a sexist
