Biggest Roomba Drawback So Far...

Post by Bev »

How does anyone tear themselves away from Roomba long enough to maintain marriage/job/kids/life?

I'm also learning where to position Walls to make "Rumble" most efficient, observing how "Rumble" gets to every single space in a room and how he finds best possible angle to negotiate corners of my short fringed area rugs. Warning: It is necessary to observe Roomba in action to get the most from him, imo.

Rumble cleans two rooms every day, returning to same area every 2 days (one return so far) and he still fills his bin every cleaning. I'm Swiffering places he can't reach (under low sofa, under edge of rugs, etc.) in between.

Ok, so I was a slob prior to getting him, but still...
Called or not, the gods will be there.

Hey Bev,

I think it's time to join RA (Roombas Annonymous). I heard they have a twelve step program that will allow Roomba addicts the ability to lead a normal healthy life. I believe the first step is to admit to yourself that you have a Roomba. Some people think they have another pet or family member. Ask yourself, have you 1) ever named your Roomba? 2) talked to your Roomba? 3) spent more time watching your Roomba than it would take you to vacuum the room(ba)? or 4) bought a second Roomba so your first would not be lonely? Well if you answered yes to three of the four, then you are a candidate for RA.

Just my $.02

If you don't dress up your Roomba, it's just a naked vacuum.

LOL..............I spent the better part of a day off work programming a sequence of mp3's and microsoft speaking agents to activate at the same time the Roomba is scheduled to start. The result is an announcement over all the speakers in the house that cleaning is taking place all to a background of startrek sound effects.

Think it's time to undertake Moobas 12 step program................... :P
