Any of you guys use a Roomba (or other robot vacuum cleaner) to
keep your shop floor clean? Just wondering if it works...
The best answer is "The company thought of that and made a product
for cleaning shops and it was a total bust so it was dropped."

Shops are not meant to be _totally_ clean. If your shop is immaculate
then you aren't using it right.
I get what you're saying, John, and agree with the premise.
However, any time I do finishing, I sure wish my shop was "immaculate"
because it would save me a whole lot of time knocking the fuzz off
between coats.
There are air cleaners for the airborne stuff and I see a place for
something that would capture all that stuff on the floor before it gets
airborne.
FWIW I quit worrying about dust about 25 years ago when I switched to
using gel varnishes. Dust is not an issue.
