THE ROOMBA

Well....I'm the only one working right now so basically we don't have two pennies to rub together. But being that Gerald is an Amazon junkie, and they had a super duper deal on this robot vacum cleaner for a few hours only....GERALD GOT ME ONE! It was a total surprise. I come home one day and this little "thing" is cleaning my floors. It actually works great. They didn't work too well when they first came out but as Gerald says this is a fifth generation roomba so they have worked out the kinks. We got it because Kitty is a hairball maker. I would sweep and the next day there would be white hairballs all along the perimeter of the room. So it gets all the hairballs for me! It does pretty well on carpet but not quite as good as regular vacum cleaner. However we only have one area rug in the living room so no big deal. Anyway I give it a thumbs up. So if you ever were considering getting one it has my stamp of approval. And besides...it says "ROOM IS CLEAN" when it's done with a room. It says other stuff too. COOL

I knew he wasn't studying! Gerald has been 'busy' researching... gadgets.

Does it talk, or does a screen write out things?

Oh this is the coolest thing ever. We have the same problem only with dog hair and I refuse to keep sweeping all the time. Though sometimes the hairball s scare me because I think they are spiderwebs. I'm going to tell Markus about this thing. Sounds like it's sooo worth it. :O Thanks for the info
