"The Roomba, my lifesaver!"
Pros: Lightweight, mobile, compact, does what I'm unable to do
Cons: Small print on the buttons were difficult to read for me (I'm blind as a bat!)
Summary: I never thought I?d feel passionately about something as banal as a vacuum cleaner, but I guess that just goes to show, never say ?never!? The fact is, this little guy is more than a vacuum cleaner, he is an absolute welcome addition to the family! My Roomba Discovery became a necessity two years ago when I was in a near fatal car accident. Just making the slightest move caused the most unimaginable pain! My husband stayed home with me for a few weeks, but soon it was time for him to go back to work, and I was left to fend for myself again. I began physical therapy and started regaining my strength, but general cleaning tasks were just not getting done with me in my condition, and the dust bunnies were beginning to drive me absolutely nuts! That?s when we discovered Roomba and what a great help he could be!
Since I was unable to lift any amount of weight without substantial pain, pushing a heavy, upright vacuum from room to room was out of the question for me. With the Roomba, it's so lightweight that I can easily lift it if I have to, and then best of all, turn it on and WATCH it go, rather than dragging and pushing it around! My road to recovery is so much smoother now that my little helper is around! As you can tell, ?he? is regarded with much affection around these parts! I?m just so happy that I can have clean floors without putting in the effort, or putting up with the pain.
