Acquired a Roomba Robot Vacuum and Love it

So I had been toying with the idea of buying one of these for a while. Finally found a Roomba 870 the mid grade model on ebay for a decent price and jumped on it, it is brand new but was going for a used price. Got it in the mail last week, charged it up at its dock, set it’s schedule to vacuum everyday at 12 and hit the button. This thing is badass. I wish I bought one of these a few years back. They are perfect for bachelors. I don’t have to move any couches, beds or furniture, this thing literally gives no f~~~s. It goes under all of them no problem, comes back to its dock when its battery gets low and always seems to find dirt and stuff even a week of use later. It’s working out great so far, I totally recommend one especially if you are like me and forget to vacuum all the time. Works great on my wood floors.

Sounds great. My only doubt would be how well it would deal with pet hair.. assuming my dog doesn’t kill it first, that is.

It handles the cat hair just fine idk about dogs though

I’m waiting for a Stepford Wife! I’m sure she’ll be programmed to return to her station (kitchen) and plug herself into the stove socket…

They’re great .. the only time it got into temporary trouble was when it passed too close to the low and wide base of an antique floor lamp 🙂
