Floor Vacuum Robot for $200

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the to-lazy-to-stand dept.

abhikhurana writes "MSNBC is running a review of Roomba, supposedly the first intelligent 'floor vac', as in a cross between vacuum cleaner and a robot. I think its especially suited for lazy bums like me. Just let it loose, sitback and enjoy. There is also a video of how it cleans the floors, which requires windows media player (what else?) to watch it. It seems that the robo cleaner can indeed do that job for which it has been designed. A related article on Techreview has slightly more details about how it works. There is also a website exclusively for Roomba."

    I hope they use a Windows CE OS embedded in this thing... That would drastically increase the suckage of this vacuum cleaner

    The only Microsoft will ever produce a product that doesn't suck is if they get into the Vacuum Cleaner bussiness
