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.
