It’s been quite a while since I sang the praises of my Roomba (or openly lusted after a Scooba)—sometimes, I do try to lay off on something if I think I’m becoming tiresome. But I just can’t keep quiet about this one: Check out the Dirt Dog, which is the Roomba specially made for shop spaces. It can handle big messes, plus it has a significantly cooler name than the other models. Heh. And while it’s usually $129.99 plus shipping, today Amazon is offering it for just $109.99 and free shipping.
I’m not suggesting it’s a reasonable impulse buy, but if you’ve been scouting out the Roombas and have wanted one for a smooth floor with a big mess, this may be the deal for you. Woof!
I love Roomba! I have two and a Scooba. It’s so nice to just turn them on and let them do there thing!
Sadly, but Scooby and Elouise are both in intensive care. Both are in need of new batteries.
How I miss my robots 🙁
Love, love, love my Roomba. Not only does it vacuum for me, but it entertains both cats and toddlers! Both of whom make enough of a mess that I NEED a Dirt Dog…but then I’d have to get rid of my area rugs. Sigh. Maybe I could just get rid of the cats and toddler? Yeah, not really a valid option is it…
I used to love Roomba, but I guess I have the same problem as Zukppr — after a year the battery must be about dead because I always have to do that week-long resetting routine. I got sick of it and also began to wonder — between the noise, emptying out the dust and cleaning the filters, plus rescuing it whenever it gets stuck — was this thing really less work than just sweeping?
Definitely less work than sweeping and moping. I just can’t believe I lost 2 batteries in the same week 🙁 The resetting routine isn’t working, so it looks like I’m going to put robot batteries on my Hanukkah wish list :::such excitement::: I keep waiting to find a special on them…
I love my Roomba, too, but have had battery troubles. 🙁
