Just FYI - the iRobot Roombas DO indeed vacuum, not just sweep.
There is a small vacuum motor in the rear of the dust bin, that exhausts air
outside, through a cleanable filter.

There was some speculation that they only were carpet sweepers. Incorrect,
they have suction, and after a few months with mine - I'd say they work
pretty well.

-W (just bought a second one to reduce the workload on the 1st one)

Clams,
It sounds like a great deal, but I think my dogs would chew it up, my
daughter would step on it, and my wife would expect it to do the dishes.

I've hear they both suck and blow.
