I purchased a robot vacuum cleaner + wiper today! Yeahhh!



helenS


It's equipped with lasers, a motherboard, sensors, and Wi-Fi to navigate around my home without the need for assistance. It's autonomous and intelligent. It's programmable and it draws a map of my living room. It even speaks to me. The control program is on my iPhone.

It came with charging docks and can even charge itself. I just picked a robot-accessible spot for the dock, and the bot will return on its own before it runs out of energy. When it does, it will sit there until it has enough energy to go back out and continue to bust dust from where it left off.

Now I'm putting up my feet and I'll sit as I watch it do all the work. No more scrubbing the floor on my knees. Hah! Women's liberation is a beautiful thing.

What's funny is the one I got my mom is the $100 one on Amazon well it's normally $159 but they normally have a coupon that knocks it down to $99 and it still does an awesome job.

@dale74 I paid much much more; EUR 350 if I remember correctly 😐
and EUR 1 is roughly equal to $1.
dale74 · M
@helenS they've come down a lot but yours has a lot more features than my mom's probably I kind of got her the cheap one that was only about $100 just to see if it even worked cuz I was really doubtful and I didn't want to waste $350 and then be pissed off because I spent so much money on something that didn't work very well
helenS · 36-40, F
@dale74 Mine can be controlled by using a smart phone – not that it would be really useful 😁
The good thing is, it really really works - it cleans my floors. I call her Elvira, by the way.
helenS · 36-40, F
@Bratt Oh yes! I gave birth to my children here...
Bratt · F
@helenS Amazing...❤️ And a blessing. What little I have, I hold tightly to. Wanting that future memory of having never let go. Beautiful. 🙂

@Bratt 🌷

Wow! This is a sophisticated gadget powered by artificial intelligence. It certainly is the new definition of a truly smart vacuum cleaner :-)
Slymbo · 61-69, M
@helenS Doesn't get better than that. Well, it does but as far as cleanliness goes at least.
Zakattack86 · 36-40, M
@helenS OH YES! Nothing better than doing the silly things we usually don't have time for :-P
helenS · 36-40, F
@Zakattack86 Yes — in a sense it's the silly things that make life worth living. 🌷
I have one too. A pretty useful assistant
@helenS Yes but it does not substitute actual washing of floors unless they're already clean.
helenS · 36-40, F
@Ackerbabe True. It's great for everyday wiping though.
@helenS For that purpose yes.

Often considered one of these. Will it work on carpet as well!
helenS · 36-40, F
@Quimliqer That will depend on the pile height. I have low-pile carpets and it works nicely and really cleans them.
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
@helenS Thanks.
Such a shame that they don't work 2ft off the ground...
Tukudo · 41-45, M
Looking so compact like weighing machine 👍
helenS · 36-40, F
@Tukudo They don't see it as a living thing.
Tukudo · 41-45, M
@helenS yes! What did you speak with it?
helenS · 36-40, F
@Tukudo I can't speak to it. I does not understand language. It's controlled by a program on my phone.
@helenS that's great, been thinking about getting one. What manufacturer did you buy.
helenS · 36-40, F
@Oysterman "Xiaomi Mi Robot", the price was about EUR 270, incl. tax.
@helenS great, thanks
Cool... I bet that's awesome!!!
jackson55 · M
I have two, they work great. You need to empty it everyday as they don’t have much capacity.
helenS · 36-40, F
@jackson55 How do you know which is Frank and which is Hank?
jackson55 · M
@helenS One has a blue light. The other has a green one.
helenS · 36-40, F
@jackson55 Easy! 😁
luvin2flirt · 61-69, M
I would kind of like to have a robot grass mower but I'm afraid it wuld get in the road and get run over 😒
helenS · 36-40, F
@luvin2flirt Does your lawn have some boundary?
luvin2flirt · 61-69, M
@helenS yes but it runs against the road on two sides
helenS · 36-40, F
@luvin2flirt I think all you'd have to do would be installing a very simple barrier, like a wooden board or something, and you are ready to go almost effortlessly. You can sit in the garden, drink a glass of wine, and your electronic slave will be doing all the work for you as you sit and watch. 🌷
Spokeskitties75 · 46-50, M
And now your bare feet will be cleaner too... 👍🏻
helenS · 36-40, F
@Spokeskitties75 I can even tell it to clean the floors at 3am!
Spokeskitties75 · 46-50, M
@helenS nice!!! What are you doing up at 3 am? Haha 😂
helenS · 36-40, F
@Spokeskitties75 I'll be in my bed, while it will be working for me... 😁
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Cool gadget.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@helenS my sons dog barked and snarled at it. I think the noise and movement did it. What dog do you have?
helenS · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 Undefined... There's Jack Russel mixed in, and a Pomeranian. Perhaps.
As an anti-racist girl I refused to get a well-specified pedigree.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@helenS my kids are into hybrid, yuppie dogs. One bernadoodle, one goldendoodle, one Australian labraddoodle. They each spent a lot of money for them. I want to come back as my kid.
I'm curious if you find that it's worth it.
helenS · 36-40, F
@stound Here I am, on my sofa, and I watch it doing the dirty work for me... 😁
@helenS well I mean after it's had some time... if you find it effective at doing the job it says it will.

@Strictmentor Enjoy the sight when she's on her knees!
OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M
awww...tiny evil looking vacuum...
helenS · 36-40, F
@OnePatheticClown It does not look evil. It speaks with a female voice haha. I call her Elvira.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Our dog doesn't like Roomba
helenS · 36-40, F
@MarineBob My dog ignores it completely, as if it didn't exist. I don't know why.
Is it available on Amazon

A time saver!!
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
I want one!
helenS · 36-40, F
@TheLordOfHell Get one. Now. Do it. Your modern house slave will do all the dirty work for you. It's a joy to behold. 🌷
MethDozer · M
Yeah they sound great but they pretty much only work if you don't live in your house enough to have any dust or mess to clean up. Pretty much useless.
helenS · 36-40, F
@MethDozer It removes everyday dirt and dust. It will not remove, for example, splashes of grease distribute on the floor, or similar dirt.
MethDozer · M
@helenS Translation.....It's garbage


Just telling you now. Their idea of everyday dirt and dust is pretty much nothing.
helenS · 36-40, F
@MethDozer Do I smell sone envy? 😜
