Roomba/Scooba

Having three very messy birds means I spend roughly 2 hours cleaning a day. Vacuuming and moping take up most of that time. I was condering getting a roomba and possibly a sccoba to cut the work load down. However, we have tile floors and I'm wondering if they will work as well. Does anyone have any commentary on these?

I know a few people who have ROOMBA and the more intensive equivalent "sooba" or whatver.

It is just my personal opinoin that his robot is not worth it. The robot is stupiid and gets caught up on things and corners.

It's just easier to have a good vacuum and use it every day.

I have observed mant ROOMBAS and it is my opinion that they suck, especially if you own pets.

Are there any good badless vacuums that you reccomend? I was looking at the Bissle Healthy Home because of the HEPA.

My boyfriend works in Godfreys, which is a large chain of vaccuum stores all over Australia. He says that bagless vacuum cleaners are really really bad, so I wouldn't reccommend them!
