Don’t come whining to us when your cat dies of repeated blunt trauma from a mutant mushroom.

You left out gluing razors to a couple Roombas and watching them fight.

You forgot “pretend you own r2d2’s really short cousin”.

I’ve heard the beeps they make are a bit reminiscent of everyone’s favorite droid.

Same here. And our golden retriever as well…but he’s afraid of lots of things; thunder, fireworks, the smaller of the two cats, and the floating DVD logo screen saver that the player in our living room has.

If I ever get a second battery, I’ll video 2 of them “going at it” & put it on youtube.

I’ve had a Discovery for a few years. I probably spend as much time repairing it as I did vacuuming the “old way”. The best way to get parts is buying “dead” ones off eBay.

The Roomba is good and works well. It’s especially good for people who have difficulty cleaning with a conventional hoover.

i would also like to propose the idea of using a roomba as a pacifistic battle bot

My dog thinks my mom’s Roomba is his new best friend. He tries to play with it. It really is useful for daily maintenance, my mom runs it in the living room in the evening while she plays video games. Picks up aaaaaaaaall kinds of dog hair.

I almost bought a Roomba, and the reason would have been “Too lazy to push the vacuum around.”

I’d imagine that’s a pretty common one, as well.

But Graph Jam has been skipping over the Pie Charts recently so the creator of this chart was smart to use a different style of chart.

haha our cat would break it but i’ve seen the videos.
however, idk if it’s because of me + cat = too much hair/fur, or if the thing’s just a POS, but it broke. =(

Just popped in to graph a piece of that 100% delicious pie chartfully constructed, but only Venn dia use a gram cracker crust. By the way, I’ll only axis once.

Ok. I have read many reviews of the Roomba but still haven’t decided if it is a good purchase. I have wood floors and lots of tables. Can I get some comments on the proficiency of the Roomba?

A percentage-based bar graph in which the percentages add up correctly? Oh happy day! You’ve restored my faith in humanity!

(Of course you’ve left yourself open to the criticism that it should have been a pie chart.)

So true.

Just the other day I was talking about how pathetic I would be if I got one, because lord knows I’d only get it for my cat hehe
