Thanks guys! I am not really loving the idea of forking over $400 for a roomba for pet hair, but I'll check out the dirt dog. Now to see how much that will cost me in funny Canadian money...
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There was a pet roomba on dealnews recently for something like $250, so it does come down on occasion. But I can't find the deal now, so it must have expired.

Sue, read the reviews for the Dirt Dog (not just on iRobot's site, but elsewhere), and see what you think. The reviews seem solid.

Look also for refurbed/old models. My parents got me one at McFrugals which was about half the price. I presume it was an overstock.

Thanks! I know they have them at my local Costco, but I don't know what model it is...I will have to check it out.
