I just ordered my mom a Roomba for her birthday, but I'm wondering how her cat is going to react to it.

I'm thinking of getting one for myself. Do y'all know anyone that has one?

Nope don't need one. That's what wives are for.

I know a few people that have them and read many online reviews when I considered one. Most users start out "ZOMG!! It's awesome!", but eventually cool way off after using the product for a period of time. Earlier and cheaper models had some battery charging problems, too.

What a wonderful idea for a birthday present....


a vacuum cleaner....













My birthday's tomorrow.. what are ya getting me, a new clothes iron?








www.woot.com sells a bunch of them. People either love them or hate them.

That is awesome!!! I'd be afraid all the dog hair on my floor would clog and break it...it would probably explode! I just imagine George Jetson's cleaning lady when she would short circuit on the cartoon... oh, nevermind, you're too young!

Anyway, I would love one of those...it would totally save my back! And I think it would be cool to watch the cats & dogs with it

BTW, shut up GMAN

I watched The Jetsons.

Cats and Dogs

Someone told me that her dog (which is of the terrier persuasion) absolutely demolished the Roomba. Killed that sucker dead.

Cats, which I have, probably would be aghast. I am thinking climbing your drapes or hanging from the ceiling.

I need the exercise. Don't need a stinking robot to clean the carpets. But I think that I really do need a terrier.

My mom will probably hate the thing. But she's always grumbling about how she can't keep up with the dirt from dad, the dog and the cats. She's always sweeping and vacuuming.

Me on the other hand, I want a robot just to say I have a robot. And I want a dog too.

I just called mom about her present. She's treating the Roomba as if it were something off a late night infomercial.

She said, "I want to clean first before I use it."

What the hell?!

would that be like getting drunk before you go out to drink?

I hate it when that happens.

The Roomba has been dismissed. I'm adopting it and getting mom a different present.

Mom said her dirt is too big.

I have a good home for it.

I think the Roomba is prices & probably wouldn't last long. I know a few people that has one too, but I notice it don't get corners to well. I have a small vac for my kitchen & dining room. I use that when I'm to lazy to use a broom.

I sat on the couch yesterday and watched my cats freak out over the Roomba. Funny stuff. It sucked in Bishop's tail a couple of times. Their eyes were like

I started the thing in the living room and it worked it's way all through the house! It went from the hardwood up onto the carpet even. It'll help me keep up with the cat hair, besides just being a neat gadget.

Why are you guys not excited about this?

Hack my Roomba somebody, please!

I can put him in a costume.


No, I didn't name him. I just assigned him a gender.

Cool! http://hackingroomba.com/projects/roomba-t...h-macbook-perl/
