my parents have owned a dyson since '95 and still use that same one - they don't lose suction - and i recently got the ball. i've owned a roomba and the suction on those things suck. they are great for picking up little stuff, but if you have pet hair it won't be picking up much. roomba is cool, but it doesn't replace the real thing. so if you have to own two vacs what is the point? if dyson can do this right - and they probably will - roomba better get back to the drawing boards.
