Rocky the Roomba
My wife saw this at Home Depot and figured she just had to have it so we brought it home with us. We set up the little eye beam device that keeps it in a room if you like and set him up to charge. It took about 4 hours for it to charge up before we could try it out. She puts it to its test and the dogs went nuts, barking and chasing it around the room. The cat was the only smart one and she went and hid...lol
Now I wasn't really expecting this little thing to do much but you could see the path it took pretty easy. No not just from the little swirl marks on the carpet either. I actually saw pet hair disappear in its wake. When it bumped into something it just turned the other way and kept going. When it encountered the beam on the little room divider thing it turned its course once again. In about 20 minutes it had gotten the whole family room and dining room clean.
My wife took the little dust bin off and lo and behold it was plum full of dust and pet hair. She cleaned it all out and set it loose on the living room, where once again Rocky did his thing and cleaned it all up. I must say I was impressed with this little automated cleaning machine.
So now once a week we set him loose on his little escapade and he does his job with no complaints at all. We also use it after she clips the dogs to gather up the clippings they scatter all over the place. Now I wish I had gotten the next model up from Rocky, as it has its own little docking station and when its battery gets low it goes and charges itself up.
Bottom line
Although not for a full time cleaning of your home it is nice to have to gather up stray pet hairs or a quick tidy up job should company call and say they are coming. It does save lugging out the big vacuum and lets you get other things done in some cases. Rocky doesn't care if its carpet or a vinyl floor he just does his job!
