The crappy part of a Roomba

[human]

I just read an article on Cnet about what happens when a Roomba encounters a dog pile--really hilarious and it makes me glad I have a cat who knows how to use her litter box.

In these instances, I blame the owner, not the robot. If your pet isn't potty-trained, don't schedule a robot to vacuum your home while you're away. Not rocket science.

UGGGGGHHHH

It would be so far beyond my capability to handle something like that if that ever happened to me.

But you're right - it is their fault.

I have never even considered owning one of those things.

I once saw the on clearance at

K-Mart... can you believe??? $75.00 ! Wow. No need for one here. And, yes, IF your dog might leave a souvenir, put the Roomba away.

Me either!

Those are for someone who has no time to clean, and then only light dirt, not deep clean.

One was entered in a cleaning contest

LAST year, not this past one, at The V.C.C.C. convention. The poor little thing just spun around, trying to pick up rice. We died laughing. It was a very expensive vacuum, but, proved not to be very practical. But, do I bash? No, I don't.
My niece has one... unsure if it's actually Roomba. She likes it. She also has a Bissel upright. She "strayed'.....................
