PS: My vote is for Mowba. They really need to invent a Carwashba, a Laundraba, and a Takeouthtetrashba (with optional "empty diaper pail" attachment).]]>Aug 23rd 2006 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/

I liked Jeff's suggestions (although the diaper pail option shouldn't be necessary unless you use disposable diapers for some reason?). I'd also like a window cleaner (tricky!), driveway sweeper (for leaves and for snow and slush), and a bathtub/sink scrubber (it'd need to be small).]]>Aug 23rd 2006 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/Aug 23rd 2006 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/
If the outdoor robot is like most of the others, it's a mulching mower, chops the grass fine enough you do not have to rake afterward. Now if the Groomba is SOLAR, I'd be VERY tempted to pick on up. Husqvarna makes one, but it's not really available in the US.]]>Aug 23rd 2006 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/
My question is, aren't Roombas really bad at covering a whole room? I've heard they eventually get it done, but end up going over spots they've already hit several times. I really wouldn't want a lawn mowing robot wasting all that gas.]]>Aug 23rd 2006 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/Aug 23rd 2006 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/Aug 23rd 2006 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/

I got a roomba and a robotic lawnmower and I have a hard time seeing irobot's lawnmower being of good quality. If you compare the roomba to a robomower or a lawnbott, the quality is not even close. Lawnmowers have to be very durable and have to cover a large space with obstacles and different types of grass and etc... roomba is good for indoors but it takes a real smart and durable device to handle a lawn. But, who knows...irobot may pull it off. I'll be first in line to get one either way.]]>Mar 13th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/irobot-cooking-up-lawn-mower-bot/Aug 16th 2007 10:01AM
