Nobody wants to run a Roomba while they're still home, right?

We exclusively run ours when someone is home. It often gets stuck in certain areas and near specific furniture. We try to prevent it as much as we can but we just don't trust it enough to let it run without a little supervision.

Absolutely this. Roombas are like stupid puppies; you think you have the house roomba proof, only to come home to find it stuck in some obscure corner, whining pathetically.

Also, I have to clean up all the crap I leave on the floor before running it.

Why don't you fix those spots?

I have a couch that's like 1mm too low. The Roomba goes under it, but can't get back out. 3d printing a small "hat" for the Roomba prevents it from going under.

Once your house is Roomba proof, you're golden.

You probably don't have kids with Legos and other toys?
