Robots (, )

by fluffy at 9:43 PM

Werner is less-than-pleased, but my home seems to be filling up with robots as of late.

To wit, in addition to the two Keepons, I also now have a Sphero, a Neato Robotic Vacuum (which is so far way better than the Roomba ever was), and a Homedics shiatsu massager. The last one isn't generally considered a robot, but I can't really see anything about it that's any less robotty than, say, the Neato, and it's a labor-saving device that does something automatically and makes loud motor noises and keeps me from playing with Werner so in his mind it's all the same anyway.

I also got a PS Vita and a bunch of games for it and have basically just played a lot of Lumines because what other games do you need, anyway?

Basically my twelve-year-old self is really happy right now.

Yay an acutal mention of your being happy. 12-year-old self or not, that's good to hear! Happy for you!

All sold because I had to move and frankly I never really loved them.

Would you recommend the Neeto? even at the retail price?

The Neato is WAY better than the Roomba, yes. I'm not sure if I'd recommend it at the full retail price but Woot sells them pretty often.

bought waaaay too much @#$#$#@ on Woot so I stay away for my own good and @#$#@$#@$#@$#@@# they just had the neato on April 8th.

Ah well.

Can you tell me if the charger is 110 - 240 V? I travel...

I can check if it's 110-240 when I get home tonight, but why would you be bringing a cleaning robot with you when you travel?

too long of a story - just to say I am away long enough at a time that it makes sense to have 110 - 240
