We just moved into a new place and the whole ground level has wood floors - with a dog and a cat, you know how much hair accumulates? 12 hours and there's these little fur bunnies hiding around every corner, jumpin' out to bite your slippers and strangle your toes!

Oh, well... at least we get a 3 day woot-off... maybe somebody else can spend all THEIR money and then the 3 of us can sit around and tell each other lies about how much we bought.

Your going for quality post aren't you?

They sell on amazon/ebay for $20-30 new. You could easily sell the DirtDog for more than that.

Yup, I got it. -- replied.


Up against a wall will work....until someone loses his balance and everyone lands in a tumbled mess at the bottom!

How many of these are there?

Woot must be going out of business. That's the only way to explain a three day woot-off with this scaffolding.

+1

So has anyone used these with dogs that shed a lot? I'm guessing the dirt bin would fill up too fast to make it worth it?

Enough for everyone in the world to own two.

Will both of these use a recharge base? If not, how do they charge? How long does the battery life last, that is til you need a new battery?

For those "Do they work" people:

1) Yes, they sweep, mop or vacuum, depending on the model.

2) They don't do as good a job as YOU do.

3) But they'll work every day, so after a week, you generally have a cleaner house than you would if you did it yourself once a week.

4) Their batteries are notoriously flaky and expensive to replace.

5) You really want to buy one from a place that has a really good warranty policy -- like Hammacher Schlemmer. (Lifetime warranty. If it breaks, ever, they'll replace/refund -- cheerfully.)

If I bring home another robotic floor cleaner my wife might throw me out of the house.

I am sooooooooo tired of the roombas clogging up the woot off!

Thanks woot.. I needed a replacement roomba.

BRING BACK THE SLEEPINGBAGS!!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZ

Hmmm, do I hear a soon-to-be single male? LOL!!

Use a different credit card

This will make Roomba 4 and 5 for me. My wife and I really like these machines. The price is incredible. If people are having issues with the battery life, there are places online that can resolve that issue very cost effectively. These things work great for getting things done while doing something else. WE LOVE THEM!! Been waiting for another great WOOT like this!!

it doesn't always make it back to the recharge base.

Well then you and your robots can come live here, and I'll send my non-robot-loving husband to your house.

Did I need a Roomba? No. But did I need 2 for the price of 1? Yes...yes I did.

In for it....

Final analysis- bought the Wowee Tribot a while back so's the kid could get a Robot for Christmas.... and figured my lovely bride could have robots of her own!

(probably special place in hell for me due to this purchase)

Frankly, these would probably do a better job of vacuuming than I do. On those days once or twice a year that I actually vacuum.

So yes, I could use a Roomba. On the other hand, I'm holding out for a netbook and can't afford both. And I don't think I have any use for a Dirt Dog.

Our Movie Genre. I (a wife myself) can not live without a roomba.. With 3 cats and 3 dogs... Roomba seems to hunt dust bunnies and hair balls with vigor..

Tsk tsk on the anti roomba wife..

Or buy 3 from Woot for about the same price.

Listen Woot, I'mma let you finish, but the Jetsons had the best robot cleaner of all time. OF ALL TIME.

The button... it finally bounces...

Ok, how do I open my messages. I haven't seen a notification or link to new messages.

I did it...I finally broke my Roomba cherry and bought one of these. ha!

I see only one battery. Couple of chargers, maybe, but only one battery. Does that mean I can't use them both at the same time? Like bumper cars?

Looks like the left-coasters are getting to work now...

In for 2

One of the advantages of the dirt dog is that it has a much bigger bin. I have a golden retriever and it works great on our laminate floors.

I FINALLY GOT A ROOMBA!! No wait, I didn't get one...I GOT TWO!!!! I'm going to go do a happy dance in the corner of my cube.
