My Roomba 650 is named Pigpen, and I won't be without one again. I too went back and forth for quite a while before I bought it at Lowes, thanks to GottaDeal. The app makes it FAR easier to set up the schedule. Mine is set up to run at 3:00 PM every workday. That way I don't have to listen to it. I get a alert after to let me know if it was successful or got stuck. Often, but no biggie. You learn to Roomba proof quickly, but the A/C vents are still a challenge for it sometimes. A black 2x4 blocks it from going under the sofa and dishwasher, and if you come into my house you will never see them. You will probably love it, but they ain't for everybody. C.
