I beg to differ. I own a roomba and love it. It vacuums my place when im out doing errands. When I get back I have one less thing I need to do. They aren't a novelty, they actually do work.

Also...don't rely on consumer reports to make your own decisions. You have a brain.

That thing probably works as good as the linked website...... ]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/Jan 7th 2010 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/Jan 7th 2010 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/Jan 7th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/Jan 7th 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/
But it costs to much......then again, this is coming from a guy who bought his vacuum for 20 bucks at a garage sale. soooo....yeeeeeaaah]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/
Definitely looking forward to the review!]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/sure, if your house is all tile or wooden floors then this is awesome.]]>Jan 7th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/Jan 7th 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/Jan 7th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/neatos-xv-11-robot-vacuum-gets-the-hands-on-treatment/
If you’re interested… the laser rangefinder inside the XV-11 were documented at a robotics conference (ICRA 2008). I did an expose at my website, Hizook.com

That is, if I had one. But if I did, I'd be altering to a beast right about now...]]>Jan 8th 2010 7:30PM
