There are a lot of great things you can do with a Roomba. It’ll vacuum your place at the push of a button. Jimmy Fallon uses them for beer pong. They give your pets something to do (assuming they’re not terrified). They’ve even been known to DJ. But until the robots rise up and wipe us all out, the least we can do is have them clean our living rooms.
Better yet, because of this Amazon Prime Day thing, the Alexa- and Google Assistant-compatible chore droid can be yours for over 34 percent off until 3 a.m. EST Wednesday or while supplies last. It’s great on carpets and hard floors alike, and can run for a full 90 minutes (or three episodes of The Great British Baking Show) before heading home on its own power to dock and recharge.
Yeah, it’s not quite Rosie, and definitely not Her, but it’s a great solution for spilled cereal, pet hair, or just getting your place a little more presentable than you’ve been leaving it. And what’s better than kicking it on the couch while someone else does all the work? Save a Benji and add to Bezos’ billions. All in a day’s work.
