Ah, the Roomba, what an incredible piece of technology! I remember as a kid my mother longed for such a device that could do the hoovering for her and I’m sure she wasn’t the only one. Lets face it, does anyone actually enjoy hoovering? I certainly don’t! Well, with the Roomba my friends you no longer have to, you can sit on the couch with a nice cold beer and your feet up or nip out to the shops and it will do it all for you.

So what is this Roomba all about then? Well the Roomba is essentially a robot…. that does the hoovering. It works using sensors that detect what is in its environment. For example: If it comes into contact with stairs its sensors will detect that it is about to take a nose dive them and will scurry away like a mouse from a cat. When it’s comes into contact with walls or furniture, it will slow itself down and get itself right in around the edges or right against the skirting board and clean right along it, pretty cool huh? The Roomba has a Home-Base Dock where it sits and recharges itself. When your little Robot servant is out of his dock and doing his job he will return back home to his dock once he has finished to recharge himself, yes, all by himself! One great feature that i am particularly impressed with is the anti-tangle technology and if you have rugs on your floors I’m sure you will be too. When hoovering rugs, if it sucks up tassels it will stop, turn off its brushes and release the tassels so they don’t get tangled and then carry on doing its chores.

So, whether you’re a housewife who can’t bear to look at the hoover anymore or a young guy who is way too cool for hoovering, get one of these. I did and it is possibly the best thing i have ever bought, you will be surprised how well this thing actually works.
