This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got an iRobot Roomba Pet 562 on offer. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting!
Special thanks to iRobot for providing the gear!

I got one of these for my mom once and later learned that she never used it.
I could use a clean carpet and a robo friend.
I have an old roomba red that's looking for a younger, friskier brother!
The fact that the word "pet" is in the title saddens me to no end. How pathetic are you in your life that you need to get a robotic vacuum cleaner as a pet...
Buster is all over this I bet. Literally
I guess I would take it.
good bye dust bunnies!
this would be nice :)
If you could see my apartment, you'd know I need one of these.

hollA!
Clean floors good!
My cats would have a field day with this. Or drop dead of fright. Either way, entertaining.
Clean Up
I'd name it "John Connor"
I have wanted one of these for-evar. My 4 cats and chinchilla would love to have a cleaner house. Pet names - Neophyte (my first cat), Soul, Smirnoff, Icarus.. and the chinchilla you ask? Yup.. Maud`Dib because he is a desert creature.
Touche
My Favorite pet name is Penador (Is that considered sucking up?).
