Thinking about getting one for my mom for mothers day.
I either hear they are wonderful, or that they are piece of crap.
No middle ground.
I don't want to waste my money.
They are okay, meaning, they are not great with pet hair (at least mine isn't) and the brush needs to be cleaned every other time. If done properly, maintenance (done frequently to assure the proper operation of said robot vacuum) negates the time saved by having employed said robot. So, I am not using mine as often as I would like to and I rotate between the two brushes. It is quite nice to have though if I want to quickly get my floors done, as I can work on one room while my Rumba is cleaning the other room. I do have to say though that I only like the job it does on my hardwood and laminate floors. I find the performance on carpet to be rather disappointing.
This robotic vacuum cleaner features powerful suction to remove debris from carpet and hardwood floors and a laser navigation system to ensure thorough cleaning.
With an intelligent cleaning system and Dirt Detect technology, this robotic vacuum navigates around furniture and vacuums along walls and in corners for thorough cleaning. 2 virtual wall units keep the vacuum within a desired space for enhanced performance.

The date of November 22, 1963, will forever be engraved in the hearts and minds of all Americans, but the events of that horrible day speak to a broader underlying question in light of the controversy to follow: had he lived and been reelected in 1964, how would John F. Kennedy have handled foreign policy in Vietnam? Americans will never have a definitive answer, of course, but in the documentary Virtual JFK: Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived, director Koji Masutani re-introduces this question and explores potential outcomes in light of counterfactuals, what-ifs, and proposed scenarios. Masutani draws heavily from the events that did transpire in Kennedy's presidency to hone in on a pattern of decision-making evident throughout his career, via his responses to such events as East Berlin and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and uses this to make predictions about Kennedy's response to Vietnam. On many levels, Masutani directed this film as a very deliberate choice at the time of the American Iraqi War (on the eve of the 2008 presidential election) to demonstrate that a nation's commander in chief will dramatically influence the direction and general well-being of a country's future. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Designed for quick cleaning around your house, this cordless sweeper features a 10" motorized brush roll for effectively removing dirt from carpets and hard floors.
When Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and the Coup's Boots Riley started making plans to put together a group, even rap-rock haters had to stand up and take notice. However, anyone who expected a revolutionary record were likely disappointed by the outcome. Morello and Riley are both well-established as politically charged, left-wing activists, but most of STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB's militant content is overshadowed by rallying party rhymes. The bulk of the record feels like it was made to be performed at live festivals, presumably for audiences to hold up their lighters and shout along. But more than anything, it sounds like Rage Against the Machine Part 2, with a less riotous singer. Boots is a great rapper who has never really gotten his due respect, and while he is quite capable of rapping along with the funk-metal backdrop, his vocals just don't seem as suited for anthemic stomps as Zack de la Rocha's screams did. Still there are some decent fist-pumping rhymes about giving it to The Man. And the rhythmic foundation laid by Galactic drummer Stanton Moore and Morello (who plays bass as well as guitar) is thick and solid.
With an intelligent cleaning system and Dirt Detect technology, this robotic vacuum navigates around furniture and vacuums along walls and in corners for thorough cleaning. 2 virtual wall units keep the vacuum within a desired space for enhanced performance.

I have a pool with a robotic shark sweeper. How long do you keep it on in hours per day?
I have a pool with a robotic shark sweeper. How long do you keep it on in hours per day?
We have a similar automatic pool cleaner (iRobot Verro), and I presume you are using a Tiger Shark Robotic pool cleaner, which is very similar. We use it twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), and run it for approximately 4 hours each day (for a total of eight hours per week), but are pretty fortunate to have few trees near the pool. However, we do make adjustments for the amount of leaves that are falling to the bottom of the pool and often put the pool cleaner than just before pool parties, so the pool is nice and clean when people arrive to swim. Keeping the skimmer weir clean will really help to minimize how much you will want to use your pool cleaner. But there is no substitute for a pool cleaner's ability to get all the small sand and calcium flaking off the bottom of the pool. And there is no substitute for manually brushing steps and corners about once a week.
