I'd like to introduce you to one of my BFFs
It's probably the closest I will ever come to having a housekeeper. It's an iRobot vacuum
My three kiddos have decided that it's the most fun thing to run away from. PLUS they know we have to pick up all the toys before we can run it. So when I want the toys picked up I ask if they want to run the "robot vacuum" as they call it and I get three excited kids picking up all their toys as fast as they can!
So when we're all done not only are the toys picked up but the floor is clean too! A few things you might be wondering about~ when we first got it we had ZERO carpet in the house. I never swept, it does a great job on wood floors. Yes it goes beautifully over rugs, even at different heights. See in the picture the dark rug with the candyland rug on top of it? It goes from the carpet, onto the dark rug, onto the candyland rug with ease at all different heights.
Something to put on your Christmas list people! I highly recommend it


i have 2 toddlers and a 9 month old... hardwood floors... i really think i need one! lol...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE mine too!!!! It is the best! I love how it goes under the bed and gets all of the dust bunnies!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband bought me one not too long ago and although I love my Dyson and actually like vacuuming, with my baby and working full time, this little robot is SO handy!! I LOVE using it for the in between times when I can't really vacuum (I still have to because of 2 dogs *sigh*). :)
ReplyDeleteHow does it do w/corners - you know how dust gathers in the corners of a room and along with edge of the wall.
ReplyDeleteI want one! Anything that will help keep the house clean sounds great to me!
ReplyDeleteWe've had ours about 6 months...LOVE HER (I call her Ms. Roomba)! LOL
ReplyDeleteI've seen those, but I always figured they couldn't possibly work that well. I might have to pick one of those up! Plus, I can totally see my oldest running from it and having a blast like you mentioned your kids do. That is seriously funny! Great tip!
ReplyDeleteI think I need one of those. Nice to have a glowing review....now off to google for the best price!
ReplyDeletehey! im a new follower here, great stuff! I could spend all day getting caught up on your old posts! =]
ReplyDeleteToo funny. My husband has been after me to get one of these but he's a gadget junky. Guess I'll have to try it. Anything to get my kids to pick up their toys. LOL
ReplyDeleteKim
i think i need one of those too! i could tell my son that if he doesn't pick them up the robot will eat them;} haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! It sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteJane- it does really well in the corners. It has a spinning brush on the side that throws dirt and what not out in front of itself so it can reach everything. I'm impressed every time I use it.
ReplyDeleteKim- if you husband is pushing you to buy one, jump on that chance!!! My husband thought I was a bit crazy when I wanted it, now he says it's the best thing ever.
I have the mop version...Scooba...and love it! We have tile floors throughout most of our house. With two cats and a toddler it works wonders! It vacuums, mops and dries the floors. Kinda pricey if you buy new but I got mine off eBay in great condition for a lot less.
ReplyDeleteHere's a review I did last year on it. http://freebates.blogspot.com/2009/07/who-does-your-floors-scooba-does-mine.html
My sister has one of these and swears by it! I'm thinking that should definitely go on my wish list:)
