Is Roomba any good for us (quilters)?

Love, love, love my roomba! I just got a new one for a great price at Costco.
My old one last 3 years on one battery. New battery was about $60 with coupon so $20 a year, but right after I got the new battery the brushes stopped turning so a new one was needed. I don't have any carpets so I think that makes it easier on the machine. If anyone comes out with a machine that will clean itself, that will be the one to buy!
I've never checked out the mint.

Me too... I can't imagine the path the Roomba would have to take to get around everything. Also, I always seem to drop pins on the floor - the reason there is an "always wear shoes" rule in my studio - and I'm not sure what that would do to a Roomba. I too have a Dyson Animal vac and a Dyson stick vac, both of which work like a charm in getting all those nasty little threads picked up.

There is a tool that contractors use that has a magnetic bottom. I bought mine at Lowe's or Home Depot. You just run it around where you dropped it and it picks up pens great. I keep one beside me at all times. (I got a pin in my foot and had to have the doctor remove it>)
