It could not clean behind the sofa or chairs because of the cords running from my power reclining furniture, so I still had to clean back there.
It got stuck under the bed in my guest room EVERY TIME and I had to go retrieve it!
It doesn’t have enough suction to deep clean, so you still have to use a manual vacuum every once in awhile to really get any carpeted areas clean.
Ours was a pretty expensive iRoomba brand, I don’t remember the model, and it had a self-emptying feature which I thought would be great for our shedding dogs.
It was more work for me than just a regular vacuum.

Your experience was identical to mine. I spent more time moving kitchen chairs or getting the Roomba unstuck that I stopped using mine. I will say that if you have rooms where it can get under the furniture and there are no cords, or other obstacles, that will it will get hung up on it would be great to have one. My Roomba did not do a good job on plush carpets but did a nice job on hard surface floors.
