Use Home Robots to Put Your Housekeeping on Autopilot

Now I don't mean you should go on strike (although I bet the thought has crossed many a parent's mind). What I do suggest is you delegate the disliked deed to a friendly robot! You really can!

Did you ever wish you had a robomaid like Rosie, George Jetson's housekeeper? I sure did.

Life in this household, where 4 boys and 2 cats rough and jumble, has certainly become easier for me since Roomba moved in.

I was pretty skeptical at first. And, of course, my sister commented that a round robot could surely not clean square corners. (Oh, but it does!) However, I took the plunge and am I glad I did!

Roomba is a nothing short of astounding! iRobot has been developing Roomba robotic vacuums for over five years. The results are superb. Note that the earlier models were a work in progress, but the current Roomba 500 Series and new Roomba 600 Professional Series truly let you put your vacuuming on automatic pilot.

All you do is plug in Roomba's self-charging home base, program up to 7 times a week that you'd like Roomba to go to work (without you having to lift a finger), then walk through the house picking up the kids' socks and whatnot to prep for Roomba's rounds. Leave the rest to Roomba!

Sure, Roomba takes more time to vacuum than you probably would. But who cares? You're not the one doing the work!

The Roomba 5th and 6th generation robot vacs have all the features you need and want.

To buy or not to buy Roomba? Go ahead and buy! But resist the temptation to get a low-priced one. Either it's a cheap knockoff of Roomba or an earlier Roomba model and you won't be satisfied with it. Go for the Roomba 500 Series, or better still Roomba 610 Professional.

Now get that old bulky upright or canister vacuum cleaner out of the hall closet and give it away to charity!

Ra! Ra! Rooomba!
