A Bit of Roomba Love

Sitting here vacuuming at 4:30ish in the morning is a strange thing...

AS I sit here typing about him, hes bitting at my feet... just took out the cat... he thought he was brave lol

He gets into stuff he shouldn't IF you don't give him boundaries... and he spits up now and again... ffs

But he only wants to do his job... and actually gets pissed off when he can't get into areas he can't reach sometimes...

*sigh*

Though... when it comes down to it, he does what he does better then me.. and he's happy to do it...

He doesn't bitch or complain.. even when I clean him... which is funny because I work in senior care lol

He even goes back to his house when hes done, and lets me know its time to change him...

He's my favorite little robot!!

Actually makes vacuuming enjoyable, and entertaining... especially if you have curious animals..lol

Inventions/Products That Have Made a Difference in Your Life

I should have added it to the list but he needs his own thread...

Did he spit the cat back out? Whole?
Funny the things you think about, at that time of the morning.

Incorrrect. It would have been a strange thing back in the day before electricity. The biggest reason why humans spent most of their history sleeping at night was they couldn't see anything in the dark. And obviously, they didn't have vacuum cleaners.

Vacuuming at 4:30 in the morning is perfectly natural in 2018.

I would love one of those things!
Unfortunately that can't happen with dogs over 100 lbs 😕, they'd destroy it.
And a Shihtzu that would probably get his tail stuck in it.

There's a robot lawn mower I'd like to get too....Husqvarna has an auto-mower, not sure if there are other brands yet...

I have an IRobot as well, with 2 cats and a puppy.
The dog dont care that much anymore, but those cats...
They hear the robots chimes go when its that time its programmed for.
Both of them come running to watch it fire up and leave the charge station.
As soon as it turns towards them, its hissing, puffed fur, more hissing then running away.
Every single time.

I originally bought mine because we had an Alaskan Malamute - 130 lbs of fur.
Non-stop shedding, there were tumble weed sized tufts of hair in every corner in the house.
So I bought one to basically follow the dog around.
The thing worked wonders!

This is one of the oldest Roomba video's.


Swear from the back it looks like Yoda on a Star-Wars type Segway. Or the cat figured out how the Nun's from the movie "Blues Brothers" did it.

I've been wanting one but haven't been able to find out a Roomba's weight capacity. I have visions of my tubby cat sitting on it till the motor burns out.
