I bought the iRobot Roomba for my mom for her birthday. This is a very cool gadget invented by MIT students that will sweep & vacuum your floor whilst you go about your blessed life. Mom was dubious at first. Women of her generation, who have tended to households for decades, can't believe some mindless creature can hunt out those nasty dustbunnies with equal female intuition.

However, "he" does. The little iRobot is now part of the household, winning Mom's respect. She gets a kick out of how iRobot will go under furniture, & busily ferret out unseen dust and dirt. He doesn't stop until he gets it right. (EXACTLY as she would have done)
Occasionally he gets stuck on something, but is quickly rescued by loving hands. Now my Aunt Janet in Texas has one (the queen of the clean), and my Mom's cousin Pat wants one too.
The i Robot isn't just for retired moms. Idle college students & harried middle-agers are equally as interested in leaving the sweeping & vacuuming to little robot man.
If your fixin on an iRobot, the little buggers are expensive. But they are well worth it. And http://www.woot.com/ has one featured today for sale. Act quickly! If not, Target or Amazon.com has them. Also here is the official iRobot website: http://www.irobot.com/
***By the way, Woot is a great website I recently discovered through a friend. One product is featured and sold per day. Usually various gadgets. Other than the low prices, the best part of the site is the hilarious product descriptions. Check it out.
