I heart robots

The refrigerator magnet that came with it has it right. Once we set our new little floor bot down it did a bang up job. After finding a daily deal on Woot.com Sarah and I just couldn't resist having a little help with our majority hard floors. Our entire first level has no carpet so we took the deal and patiently waited. After it came we read through the simple directions and Sarah had the first chance to set it loose on our kitchen floor. The Scooba, as they're called, did a wonderful job leaving most of the floor clean and shiny. It doesn't seem to have to ability to do any harder scrubbing but that's merely touch-up work I think the humans around here can handle.

I had a pleasure of running the Scooba in our bathroom and, although some hair got tangled in its wheels, it also did well in there. A quick pre-sweep will do well to keep our first robot cleaning the stuff we normally don't want to with a mop.

I wonder if we should have a vote on what to call it? Feel free to suggest names in the comments below. Heck, I wonder if our new little helper would like to come to work with me sometime to play with Url!

A perfect pet for a condo owner.

What did the cats think of the invader? I bet C and L had a great time chasing it around.

They were quite terrified, actually. Lu hissed and batted at it once, and Colby just ran upstairs for the entire time it was running. I don't except they'll all be best buddies anytime soon.

How about Robert or Robbie the Robot, or Dobbie (as in the House Elf from Harry Potter...)

Thanks Toni! Those are pretty good. Maybe something like "Monkey" since it's a bit like a bottom feeding Monk fish. Hmm...
