You never need to worry about vacuuming again!

Now wouldn't that be great?

The house I'm renting is so huge that it takes a lot of time to clean it... Which is probably why I never really get around to doing it at once... and when I do one cleaning task in one day, by the time I get to the next cleaning task in the following couple of days, the first set of cleaning that I did in the previous day is all gone, i.e. needs to be done again!

Oh boy... I hate washing dishes (don't have a dishwasher in this house) and then putting them away. I love ironing! I seriously do! But I'm not sure about the vacuuming. I actually don't mind it, but I think it's something I don't want to do due to the size of the house and all the other things I have to do.

Ah and the laundry! Well, I like doing the laundry in spring (not cool spring, the warmer days) and summer. I can never get the laundry to dry in the winter days, and quite frankly I'm at a stage where I'm sick and tired of doing the laundry. Please please please, gorgeous spring and summer days, come, come, oh do come to Melbourne! I know that other states like Queensland and NSW are enjoying the beautiful sun-filled days, but we aint doing so well in Melbourne... But I guess those days will be here soon... Then again, this is Melbourne and one can never be too sure!

Anyways, I came across this mad gadget! I don't know if it retails anywhere else, but you can buy it in Australia and if I'm not mistaken you can buy it online.

I'm talking about the iRobot Roomba 530 Vacuum Cleaning Robot. Here's the description on the TVSN website.

Keeping up with dirt,dust and crumbs can be a daily challenge. iRobot Roomba vacuums up an amazing amount of debris.

• Navigates each room for an efficient clean.

• Avoids stairs, cleans along wall edges and under furniture.

• Automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again.

• Automatically docks and recharges between cleaning.

• Anti tangle technology- will not get stuck on cords or fringes.

• Sized to clean under furniture.

• Covers three rooms on a single charge.

• Charges in 3 hours.

This is the baby I'm talking about...
Looks nice too doesn't it?

Now how wild does that sound? Oh and it retails at $599.00 AUD!

If it really does all that, I'm willing to pay (when I have the cash to spend of course LOL).

Anybody seen, heard or tried this device before? Would you consider buying?

How cool would it be if you got at least the vacuuming chore out of the way? And you don't even need to think about it; the appliance does it all by itself. Reeeeooowwww! I want one, I want one, I want one!!! That would save me at least 2 hours a week.
