He just vacuumed my bedroom
I love my new Roomba! Tonight he's gonna vacuum the living room.

I'm in cleaning heaven.

8. I live with two slobbos
I already had to rescue a sock out of Roomba. But yes you do need to pick up the small stuff that could choke him. He managed to go around boxes, shoes and laundry baskets quite well. He needed a rescue under the bed but after that he did real well. All in all though he's a hell of a lot easier than other vacuums. You gotta pick up the small stuff anyway if you really want to do a halfway decent job with any vacuum.

So far he's a 10!

9. He freaked Lilly (my little doggie) out
She's not easily intimidated. She was so confused she had to leave the room

10. I had him on the carpet. BUT
The rest of my house is hard wood. He'll be doing that tonight. I would imagine it would be even better on hard wood.

11. Do you have a Dyson? I have been wanting one

just because I was so impressed with the ads and the concept that this engineer Dyson was so frustrated that he decided to re-invent the vacuum.

If you don't mind - around how much do they cost?
