I have always been a fan of the Roomba. I've actually wanted one for years, whenever I first saw the ads. And while working for the Clorox company, they introduced a wet mop version. Since then I realized I really really wanted one ... for my wife.
It's not a big surprise to me that the article below talks about the affect it's had on it's owner. And even though I like and prefer wood floors, it's a huge bonus for talking myself into purchasing a Roomba. So without a doubt, the next home I own, wood floors will be a necessity (we currently have tile). Not to mention, I'll have to look for a fridge with a higher clearance now.
But dressing up your Roomba? Sorry, that's a bit of a stretch for this tech addict.
