Mid-December is a tricky time for me, but I'll see what is up.
I have a friend who worked QA at iRobot for a while. The roomba has some...idiosyncrasies. They sometimes can't tell the difference between black carpet and edges of stairs, and so won't vacuum the black spots. Also, if the battery dies, replacing it is a problem solved better with money than time. One wouldn't work for me, it might work better for you, depending on how much you tend to have things on the scale of a breadbox on the floor.
