Roomba Discovery
With the glowing review I got from Rob about the Roomba robosuck...oops, I mean robotic vaccuum cleaner or your plastic pal that's fun to clean with...so many good things to call it. I was just looking for an excuse to pick one up and it just so happened that several positive things all happened about the same time. I got good overtime on my monthly pay check, Sara said, "I feel like a Roomba would be so good for us", and our marriage was hitting its five year mark (or 1.25th anniversary). I knew it was meant to be, and we went for it.
Based on Rob's recommendations we went to Best Buy to get a Roomba Discovery. Rob was wrong about the Best Buy part, but Sears had it and we couldn't get home fast enough to try it out.
Sara being adventurious and clumsy accidentally field stripped it while taking it out of the box, so once we got its filters, dust bins, rollers and brushes back in place we set it on its charger and waited. Ok, we actually set in on the floor about three feet from its charger and it went home to charge. I was figuring that first time it would take 3-6 hours at least to charge, so when bedtime came around I went to bed. Sara stalked it like a hungry tiger and as soon as it was ready she pressed the friendly "Clean" button and off it went. I did not wake for the occasion but I was roused slightly by a very excited gleeful giggle. I remember thinking that the Roomba was a winner or she was flying solo with a power toy.
I awoke this morning to find Sara sleeping next to me with perhaps the sweetest smile I had ever seen on her and a trashcan half full of dust and animal hair. The roomba had a light coat of dust on it as it sat in its charger, I could almost hear its exhausted snore. The carpet had never been cleaner.
7:59am Sara woke up.
8:00am Roomba was activated for what I learned was round three.
Debeers might try to convice me that love is a diamond but I now know that Love's name is 'Rosie" and she's our Roomba Discovery.
