Roomba

[asterroc]

OMFG, T$ got us a Roomba and it arrived today! I'm so excited, it looks like so much fun. ^_^ We have to charge it for 16 hours to start though. We have to pick up 4 D batteries for the virtual wall units (2 units, 2 D's each), and I'm now searching for AA batteries for the remote. And we'll have to move wires out of the way and such, that's a pain, but we'll deal. ^_^ He's so cute! We need to name him.

OMG! I want one, too! They're SOOOO cute! And so very, very, very useful. Yes, he demands to be anthropomorphized ;) .

My Roomba is one of my best purchases ever, hands down. It's quieter than a normal vacuum and picks up more dust than a normal vacuum. It does a fantastic job on fur, dust, bird crumbs, rabbit poop, and all the other dirt that gets tracked into the house. It saves me many, many hours of sweeping and swiffing the house.

The only downside is that it doesn't do corners very well, so every so often I have to use a dustpan and brush or the handheld dustbuster to get those spots. No big deal.

Ours is simply named "Roomby." We refer to him as our sixth pet, the one who cleans up after the other pets. He's very cute. :)

Our birds don't really like the Roomba. They were terrified of it for a little while, but quickly got used to having it run around the floor. If I pick it up and carry it around (even just its butt compartment, to empty it out), they'll squawk and flap away from it. They're getting gradually better about it as time passes.

So "Davros" is out of the question?

DESTROY IT NOW!

If you bring it into your home, it will only sow chaos, terror, and destruction. Heed the words of the the Orange Catholic Bible - Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind.

Give them a vacuum cleaner and they will only demand plasma cannons. And you will have only yourself to blame!
