ROOMBA: review…
“Roomba” is the brand name of the first widely-retail-available quasi-independent dry-floor vacuum cleaning device.
About the size, weight, and autonomic mobility of a hubcap on steroids, it’s a “fire and forget” pseudo-housekeeper…
(… just like a college boy… it works… within reason…)
You have to CHARGE it… (IE: “POWER” it)… you have to treat the room as if you were going to vacuum it yourself… (which means that you can’t use the device to push a cooler out of the way or to pick up the bottle caps)... you have to “handle” it correctly…
… you have to check the little brushes, filters, and dirt reservoirs… and… most importantly… you have to remember that it’s okay to use your TOE, so long as you don’t stand on it…that would be an expensive goof…
(Yet, compared to pushing a stand-up around…)
… oh yeah… that’s the other thing… get someone else to buy it for you…as a GIFT… a NOVELTY… because as Personal Entertainment And Responsibility… it falls somewhere between cat and casino…
I have to find my videocam so I can show you the interaction between DaGirls and Robbie Roomba… Robot Overlord….
Miss China is smart in a stupid way… she already knows that Robbie Roomba can’t get up on the waterbed, so… ***Rrrrr Rrrrrr Rrrrr***…
Miss Phyllis is stupid in a smart way… she watches Rumbling Robbie Roomba out of the corner of her eye… but squats there and looks at you like: ”… and?... is THIS the best you can do? Ey?… I catch tiny birds for FUN!, dickwad…”
... VERY entertaining...
