Ahh yes, we’ve express our “Me Likey” ness in robotic cleaning gadgets before with our coverage of the iRobot Scooba, and now we present you with the Robomaid Cleaning Robot.
The lovely Lynn Terry over at Clicknewz recently acquired the Robomaid and gives us a detailed, hands-on review from a non-techie point of view:
I could hardly wait to try it out! Once it charged I put it on the floor and let it loose in the kitchen. It took about 3 seconds, and then it was off - just like they showed on the commercial. It went under the kitchen table, around the edges of the floor (under the cabinets, under the edge of the stove)… and then it went under the microwave cart. It was fast, and I was impressed! Not only did it pick every little thing up off of the floor, but it got in little places you dont even think about!
I was completely sold on it before it even finished the kitchen, so I let it loose in the rest of the house and went on about my business. After it finally shut off, I recharged it and then let it clean each of the bedrooms (under the beds, in the corners, you name it!). This morning is day three with my new RoboMaid… and I LOVE IT!
I got up this morning and headed for the coffee pot - from one end of the house to the other, in my bare feet. I had to smile. It’s funny what a small price I had to pay for such a luxury.
As for the broom - that baby is retired. All she ever did was kick up dust and get me into a sniffly sneezing fit. Besides, using a broom is work. The RoboMaid is “passive housework”… and every bit as nice as passive income.
