The Veiled Chameleon: April 2005: So how do you clean YOUR carpets?

So how do you clean YOUR carpets?

I don't know how long I have had my Roomba. I think it's been about a year and a half. But it rocks. I've never been disappointed in it.

The Roomba is a combination sweeper and light vacuum (think Dustbuster on low). It just cruises around and chooses its direction based upon an algorithm which causes it to get into every nook and cranny. It's excellent over the middle of the floor, it does surprisingly well on edges, and is completely useless in corners. It won't fall down the stairs, but it will lose one wheel over a stair and get high centered if it begins to cross over the stair from a near parallel angle. I've never tried it on a shag carpet, but it works very well on wood floors and dense carpet with tightly packed threads.

Mostly I'm just posting about this today because I can't think of anything else and I want to make you envious.

Smile-a-while!

Although I don't know why, they've improved it with new Roomba models.
