iRobot, Cleaning Robot, Roomba 530

     I'm reporting on how the cleaning robot worked in a couple of weeks in my house. To make a long story short, it was great! My room has been kept clean all the time. I admire the designer of this robot.
     How many times or how frequently do you clean your room up? Once a week? As for me, once or twice a DAY! I've only to push the start button. Before taking a bath, if I punched the start button, when I get back the cleaning would be finished completely. It was amazing. I'm thinking of purchasing a second one.
     By the way, my house is protected with a Secom Security System. The security of every door and window that are wide enough for someone to go through is strengthened. Even if someone successfully managed to get into the house, infrared light would absolutely catch the hot moving bodies. At the same time, the alarm will be sent to the security center and the officers on patrol. So, ordinary thieves never try to break into the house with this system. However, it indicates that Roomba can't move under surveillance. It has a motor to discharge heat, which is easily detected by the monitor and makes officers gather at my house. The problem is this; Roomba can't work while the security system is on.
     Anyway, this cleaning robot is going to be perfect and one of necessities in my house. See also, http://kumo.typepad.jp/weblog/2008/11/automatic-clean.html

Oooh that looks just like our irobot! My family finally got one this summer and it works so awesomely, like you have said. A lot of my friends families have one, and many of them named theirs (zoomba, vacuumer..etc :P). I really like ours because now I don't have to vacuum :D
