For maintenance and getting dust and junk cleaned up and having fresh looking carpets all the time they are great. I really like my Discovery version, as it picks up the dirt before it gets ground into the carpet(the most important aspect of them, imo).
When I put new carpet in the house it was the first thing I bought(with ARS rewards), and believe it was a great investment. The carpet is going on 3 years old now and looks every bit as good as it did when installed(and I have 2 kids)
They are not meant to be a total replacement for vacuuming. You will still have to vacuum once or twice a month(mainly for the edges), depending on how much of a clean freak you are.
They are also not meant for slobs, they go everywhere you let it, and if you have clothing, or string, or anything bigger or longer than you would normally suck up a regular vacuum, you will have problems.
