I am in Love

I've looked at the Roomba for years and wondered if they were worth the money, but had never convinced myself to buy one.  However, after recently talking to a few neighbors who did have one and liked them, I decided to bite the bullet and buy my own...on my birthday....as a birthday present to myself.  You only turn 40 once right?  And who wouldn't buy themselves a vacuum on their birthday?

Oh. My. Goodness.  This little guy is a gift sent straight from heaven.

Today was his big trial run all alone in the house to see if he would earn his keep.  I picked up the major obstacles on my main floor, shut a few doors and turned him on right before I left the house to run errands.  I had doubts that it would do a good enough job to warrant his price tag as his mini trial run the day before was a little iffy.

To my amazement, when I returned home the house was swept and vacuumed and he had safely returned to his port, ready to do it again whenever I called.

As soon as I got over my amazement, for I was truly awestruck,  I about jumped for joy I was so pleased.  You mean this little piece of equipment will sweep and vacuum and I don't have to do it nor pay anyone else to do it for me?  Where have you been all my life?  I'm Sold!!

Sure, he doesn't do as good as I do.  Corners are a little tricky and there are spots he missed.  If I were to grade him, I would give him a B+.  But he does it well enough to make it sooo worth the money.   So, in between my weekly sweeping and vacuuming, he's totally got me covered.

Oh and I love him so much, I gave him a name.  Milo.  Welcome to the family.
