No. They’re actually quite nice. Many years ago a co-worker raves about them to me. Finally got one a few years ago.

But I highly recommend it for regular maintenance cleaning, not major jobs every time. Keeping up with the vacuuming is good this way. Major things should be with a regular vac, though.

You have a good point. I've heard (and maybe this was true only for older models) that the vacuuming power was weak and ineffective, corners were left uncleaned, and the job was spotty. But I can see this as a between vacuuming filler for major debris, not a thorough cleaning, which requires human attention.

I have several cats, and would be interested in seeing how they would react. :)
