Just over a year ago, in May of 2010, we bought Roomba. We had two recommendations from friends, so we splurged the 300€ and bought a robot to vacuum our floors. Initially it seemed pricy, but it’s some of the best 300€ we’ve ever spent. As my wife said to me soon after we bought it…
I think I like the Roomba. It doesn’t clean as well as I do, but it cleans about as well as you do.
I’ve had it with our cleaning lady. She does a lot of moving around the house, opening and closing doors, so it seems like she’s working, sometimes visiting the trash can to supposedly dispose of dust she’s collected, but then the floor is never actually any cleaner than when she started. I’ve been suspecting that she was inept for some time now, but I finally was able to record a video of her “at work”, and I must say that my suspicions were totally confirmed. I’m afraid we’re going to have to let her go.
