I know several of you here have this or have tried it, and I know it
isn't for deep cleaning, but am wondering if it would be worth the
expense to have for say keeping the dust bunnies at bay under the bed
and such? Comments???

carpeted or uncarpeted floors, donnag? for uncarpeted floors and to keep my
cat-fur dust bunnies at bay, i prefer my robomaid, which is a tenth of the
price. the roomba is good on short napped carpeting.

For carpeted floors. Basically the carpeting in the apartments here
where I live is kind of like an indoor/outdoor type of carpet with
really no pile at all! I have such a hard time flipping my Q size
mattress and getting all the dustbunnies out from under the bed.

then, i think a roomba would help you. it is a very liberating gadget.

That is one weird looking device. Price is right, too. Loved the dog
in the film.

Love it love it love it! Best thing I've done for myself in months. For
me, it paid for itself the day I brought it home. It even goes from my wood
floor in the living room onto the coffee table rug with no problem. Doesn't
like the bath mat though lol! Did a great job when I spilled the flour.
I tried it in the bedroom first. It rhoomba'd under the bed, under the
dresser, in and out of the closet - my crappy linoleum floor never looked
that clean with a broom. It is fantastic for dust bunnies and cat hair.
All I do now is an occassional mop of the bedroom and, because I don't sweep
any more, my hands actually feel ok when I mop.
Seriously, I can't say enough about it. My only comment would be that it's
filter lasted a bit longer but that could be because I neglected anything I
couldn't get at easily for so long.
As for the cats, one ignores it while the other follows it around like it's
a moving horror show.
