iRobot Scooba 5900 Robotic Cleaner

My mother was given a Roomba for Christmas a couple of years ago. She seldom uses it, as she is in the habit of traditional vacuuming and just doesn't feel that there is any substitute. I, however, am busy renovating my house and have little or not time for traditional methods of housekeeping. The Roomba allows me to multitask and still get the jo adequately done.

This particular little fella showed up on eBay, and I was able to get him at a very reasonable price. Now that he is here, I just set him in a different room each day and let him eat to his heart's desire. Sometimes I charge him up and give him a second room for the day.

At times I do take a few minutes to watch him work. He gets into and under places that I would not normally have easy access to, such as under my dresser.

If he has any weaknesses, I would say they might be corners, and a battery that is showing its age. All-in-all, though, he's a fine fella gotten at a very good price.
