A couple of months ago my friend Katie blogged about getting a Roomba and absolutely loving it. I had seen these at Costco and Bed Bath & Beyond before and had mentioned to Chad that I would love to have one - he laughed. LOL!! We had a perfectly good vacuum that we received as a gift for our wedding and it's definitely gone through 3 1/2 years of HARD work. We vacuum at least 2 times a week with all of the crazy dog hair in our house, ugh! With Tyler SOOO close to crawling, it's totally been creeping me out thinking about him crawling all of the house and I knew I would be making my vacuum routine a daily chore, which I was sooo not looking forward to! Well Chad goes to vacuum on Monday and the thing starts smelling like a weird electrical burn or something. I told him I would check it out as I had just cleaned out all of the filters and thought perhaps I put something back in wrong... Well I go to check it out yesterday, everything looks fine, I go and start to turn it on and vacuum and the thing starts smoking - yeah, not good!! I check it out and the power supply inside the vacuum is all corroded looking and burnt - scary! Well seeming that we now had to get a new vacuum anyways I talked Chad into getting the ROOOOOOOOMBA!! YEAH!!! The thing vacuumed my kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway for an hour and a half this morning - and it looks perfect! It goes under the couches and coffee table and everything. This is too cool! I am so excited that I can have it vacuum for me everyday and not worry so much about Tyler and crawling and dog hair and ugh...
Anyways... this turned out pretty long but just wanted to share my excitement with you : )

I still want one, but I just got my new floor. I'm not getting one anytime soon- I am so happy for you though!
YAY! The "babysitter" strikes again :) I'm so glad that your life is now changed, as mine was just a few short months ago!
Good call. Carolyn got one for Mother's Day (yes, it's a vacuum cleaner, but it's a COOOL vacuum cleaner). The kids are having a great time with it... http://malifko.blogspot.com/2008/05/iclean.html
This is so fascinating and hilarious to me. You and Katie are cracking me up! I though it was an infomercial gone bad, but obviously the thing works. I'm not quite ready to give up my Dyson, but I'll look into the next go around! Great post!
