    New Robot Vac out...

    Looks like someone has beaten Electrolux to the punch - check out this Time article (with video):

    we'll need to add a wireless link to schedule vacuuming as a HS event!

      ... I think they are going to have to make it more automatic to make it REALLY useful. If I have to go get it, set it in the middle of the room, select a room size, turn it on, move it to the next room, etc., it's just a slight improvement over a regular vac .... and NO improvement over a maid!

      I would buy one in a heartbeat if it would automatically start when scheduled (ie, when nobody is home) (or, even better, when told to by HS!) vacuum until the battery needs charging, dock itself for a recharge and then resume vacuuming (remembering where it's been and where it hasn't) and repeat that cycle until the whole house (or at least one level) has been vacuumed. It's probably just a matter of time until there is one that will do this.

          ... a "fearless" Beagle, wouldn't go near it. But you would be able to hear her barking at it a block away!
