After thinking about it for a loooonnnng time, I finally bought a Rhoomba in Austin. It was a good deal at BB&B and Eliz had a 20% off coupon which made it an even better deal. Yesterday I tried my Rhoomba in the bathroom and bedroom - so far I am very pleased. Beware of electric blanket cords - fortunately Pat had warned me about those. The one danger is that it is so much fun to watch the little robot scooting around on the floor that it was defeating the purpose of cleaning the floor while I did something else. It has a rather haphazard pattern but seemed to get most of the floor - it might not be up to Susie Homemaker's cleaniing standards, but it was certainly up to my cleaning standards!

Actually, the Rhoomba states that it does not work on shag rugs or deep pile carpets - I think there just isn't enough power to suck the dirt from that kind of carpets. It does a great job on the tile and wood floors - under the bed has probably never been so clean.

I do have one - it's called a robatic something or another. I'm actually delighted with it. I charge it up, stick it in the kitchen and close the door. Voila! No crumbs on the bottoms of my feet! Bought it from QVC - where else? The only problem is that it doesn't seem to obtain a complete charge - at least, according to the indicator lights - I may send it back for an exchange for that reason only........and, it doesn't handle the deep plush of my carpeting. I think that a Roomba would.

Leah has one of those thing-ama-jigs (sp?). I don't think she is happy with hers. She has issues with it. Then again, she doesn't have a Rhoomba either. Good luck with yours!
P.S. Note the new e-mail address.
