Ever had a product that you loved so much you could, completely off-the-cuff, give a three-hour presentation about, followed by an hour of Q&A? Well let me tell you: I do. And I’ll spare you the details. Because, after all, this is about time. My time; your time. Considering a vacuum? Look no further.
Meet Roomba. Meet Little Roomba (actually it’s a Scooba but we lovingly refer to this little doll as LR). These are my best friends. Especially Roomba, although I’ve got to hand it to Little Roomba because she gets BEHIND THE TOILET. Hell yeah.
Oh revered Roombas, basking in sunlight...
I completely, unfailingly, 100 percent love the shit out of them. Period. Obviously I’m not the only one. Have a look at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Pimp My Roomba study. And then there’s ROOMBA ART! Seriously, check it out.
Yeah, I’ve had to replace a wheel and the motor, but hey, it sure as hell beats manual vacuuming. Manual vacuuming? Blech. Questions? Ask iRobot. They make ‘em. Interestingly, Roomba is an American invention (by MIT robiticists, to be exact), and from what I can tell, the robots aren’t all made in China. Uh, I think.
I would wear a dress for you, Roomba. And that’s saying something.

I love vacuuming (yes, the manual kind), but, gosh, you had me at “behind the toilet.”

You would love it. All 12 glorious square feet that you slave over day in and day out! Ha.
P.S., I do realize I should have included a photo of the toilet action.
