The roomba arrived, and I love it! I have 4 floors in the house, so the roomba does the main floor which is the dirtiest. My oldest despite being almost 7 is the messiest eater I have ever known, and my H is a slob who likes to garden, and I have a cat so lots of food, dirt and hair is getting picked up.
I think the plan is to move the old dyson to the basement which is partially finished playroom, so I need to keep that up.
We are contemplating getting a new super light weight dyson for the bedrooms and finished attic. This might be part of my problem that I have so many finished spaces, but I can't complain about having a house that is big enough for the family and a guest room/ office, so I'll shut up. But cleaning wise it was an issue to vacuum 4 floors every week.

waverly - there was just a request for vacuum recs from a mom at my kids' fancy private school, and about 10 of us said the Shark from Target or Costco. Much cheaper than a Dyson! And ours has a lift away function for stairs that is awesome.
Is it lazy that I'd like a vacuum for upstairs? The shark sounds good. Then I might actually vacuum between the maid doing it. But hauling a vacuum up the stairs isn't going to happen....
2chatter, nope this is why I am contemplating 3 vacuums total. 1 old one and 2 new ones because I am going crazy (still even when I don't have infants anymore) and every little thing helps.
In the less reasonable - DH wants extra washer dryer hook ups in the garage so he can have his own. The other four people in the house impede his ability to do laundry on his whim when he is in town.
I'd never say no to a roomba!! we already have one and I'd be delighted to get another for upstairs cleaning. I just find it quite noisy when cleaning, it wakes my son up. but the house is clean... so
