This is quite the momentous blog. First, this is my first attempt at a quasi-vlog. Second, read it and weep, bee snatches--I have a Roomba Scheduler robotic vacuum cleaner. After going on a cleaning tear recently (including hiring a lady to come in afterward to do a hardcore scrub n' polish), I started shopping for a new vacuum. Insert lame joke about my old vacuum cleaner sucking here.

I had seriously eyeballed the high-end Dyson vacuums, which go for $400 to $500 and up, but aside from finding the Roomba on sale for $230 at BestBuy.com, the final deciding factor was that I'd spend a shit ton of cash money just to have the damn thing sit in my closet as my lazy ass sat on the couch watching Family Guy reruns. Vacuuming my carpet ranks on my to do list just below shaving my ass while standing in the front yard and eating fruit. Sure, the Dyson is going to pick electrons off of the atoms in my carpet, but what good does that do me if I never use it?

What I like about this vacuum is that you program a schedule into it, and it vacuums until it finishes or needs more juice. No need to worry about plugging it in to recharge because it will automatically find and return to it's recharging/docking station. Sweet ass! I think the scheduling and the placement of the recharging station will require some tinkering, but I'm excited.

Check out the video. I sped it up in the middle, but note how it reacts when it hits a wall and how it automatically finds and docks with it's recharging station at the end. That shit is da balls!



Oh, and I promise not to turn the poor vacuum cleaner into my robot love slave...for now.
