    An Ibot ROOMBA 360. An early Xmas gift

    omg! this is too much fun! Its like having a dog that you don't have to feed, it feeds itself. thought for sure Indy would go ape because he barks at hair dryers, lawn mowers and any other mechanical machinery. He even goes ape when I shovel snow.

    But I just turned it on, and fed the boys a few treats and let the Roomba go! Not a bark! I let it run for about 45 minutes. It even slid underneath my bathroom cabinets and pushed out a plastic soap dish cover I'd been looking for for months/1 It wandered around a lot in my living/kitchen area, then I picked it up to move to the back part of my house.....it needed some encouragement. Just like a puppy!

    I'm killing myself laughing and hugging this machine. This is a MUST have on your xmas list!

    I'm trying to remember if the robot maid on the Jetsons had a name.....if not I'm thinking Molly. She's pretty wonderful. You should all ask for this.

    Indy who goes ape over hair dryers and lawn mowers totally ignored it

    Sadly our Issac had to be put down last year, he got a case of terminal spins and could not be fixed. Saving up for the new super duper ones designed for pet hair, etc.

    PS Our neighbors named theirs Rosie and bought stick on eyeballs--too cute!

    I had one a few years ago - I loved it, but so did Tres . . . he would hit the button on top to turn it on, then herd it throughout the house.

    Tres thought it was a great playmate and didn't get snarky with him like his furry room mates!

    Yay! My "Tuga" (Tortuga - turtle in Spanish) welcomes his new cousin! Mine is not a Roomba but another one and is green. Shay, Melli, and the cats ignore it. Cubby watches. I haven't run it in a while and I should. It was hard when I was working because I had a lot of cords but now that I am not working that is not quite the issue. LOVE these. With 3 dogs and 3 cats I can leave it running 24/7.

    Rosie! That's it!

    I'm just shocked that Indy that barks at hair dryers, lawn mowers, snow shovels, etc....just started at this then walked away. Its loud and it moves.....I thought he would go ape! And neither one has tried to attack it or is spooked!


    I'm kinda a little disappointed....I thought it might be a new toy for the dogs!

    LOL!
