   Our Roomba worked quite well, and probably still would if we   
   dug it out of storage.  An upright vaccuum cleaner is much   
   faster, but you can operate a Roomba while sitting in a lift   
   chair, and you don't have to move the furniture.   
      
   When we had to hire our vaccuuming done, we bought an   
   upright.
