I own one 8XX model (~3 years old, I think) and can attest that "Roomba proofing" the spaces prior to operation and having furniture with high clearings and basic shape legs are kind of needed to prevent it getting stuck.

I'm also curious about the commute time estimation. I've been playing with the app around the Geneva area where I live and work and I think the commute times are a bit too optimistic. Nice idea, in any case!
