Locking Bar Eglu Classic

[Egluntyne]

Only if it can get under the sofa.

 

If you drag the sofa out it will deal with it in much the same way as with an ordinary hoover.

[Louise]

If it fits under the sofa then yes Claret

 

I have the 530 there is higher spec ones that will work on a timer etc which might be useful as you can ask it to worl when you are out but I don't find it gets in the way too much you just press the start button and assumimn the brushes don't get clogged it will happily work away till it needs to be charged again which is about 45-60 minutes

 

It is not too noisy you can still watch TV etc while it works

 

You can confine it to a certain room with artificial walls the 530 comes with one and you can get more if you want them It is a wee dumpy thing that gives out a beam which the unit can't cross but as it is only light yau and pets etc aren't hindered

[Treekeeper]

Has anyone seen or got the scooby it washes as well as hoovers?

 

There's one on ebay at the mo

[Scooby]

Hmmmm. I need one of those. do you think I can get away with the "oh, that old thing" when hubby first clocks it?

[Egluntyne]

I'd risk it!!

 

Just tell him how much cheaper than a cleaning lady it is!

[Cinnamon]

Hmmmmmmmmm

So which is the best model to get & where is the best place to get it from then.

Just idle curiosity mind,I am not going to actually get one

 

I can just see you now, with your feet up, G&T in hand, nattering to the Roomba, Sarah!

 

I thought you liked that naked Chippendale, who you had in to clean?

 

I probably would talk to it you know. I always thank the Sebo when I have used it

 

That Chippendale is lovely to look at,but awfully inefficient

[The Dogmother]

I'd risk it!!

 

Just tell him how much cheaper than a cleaning lady it is!

 

has your cleaner had her cards then?

[Guest]

I bought a Roomba 560 because it has a scheduler and two lighthouses/virtual walls. I did a search on the internet and got it for £250 with free delivery. Not much more than a good vacuum cleaner really.

[The Dogmother]

Not much more than a good vacuum cleaner really.

 

Really? My vacuum cleaner cost £34 and it's lasted for ages.. cleans brilliantly too.

[clucky1]

I have just seen this and I want to Rumba with a 'Romba' tooooooo.

What an amzing gadget. I could have my own little robot.

Only problem: - Getting it past the OH. - Maybe I will have to just dream .

[chocchick]

It was my OH that found it, any excuse for a gadget

He has now bought a scuba from Ebay

We just need to collect

[chocchick]

Egluntine, John Lewis does a version now

 

I've looked at my model and it is a 4320 with the date 2005.

Ooh!

 

We need a review!

Oh! Mine cost £200 and that was about 15 years ago. It is a good strong one and good for asthmatics. I have to admit I have no idea how much they cost nowadays.

[Scooby]

Took the plunge and showed the website to hubby. We are now going to be the proud owners of a roomba! Can't believe it was so easy

 

Hubby said if we're impressed with it he will buy a scuba too - please let us have an update chocchick when you've used yours, we'd love to know if you like it.

[Egluntyne]

Fantastic.

 

Scooby with a Scooba! Sounds like fate.

[Egluntyne]

Oh my!.....I want one of these!!

 

**Scooba**

 

Click the "Watch video" link on the right of the page. The one in the centre of the page is not much cop!

[Laura & CTB]

Oh my word - I want a Scooba too

 

I can justify it *announces proudly* all my downstairs rooms are tiled including my huge living room.

 

Now how to convince CTB

[Jeanne]

I officially hate you all. I want one of those now!

[clucky1]

For Jeanne:

I couldn't possibly justify the cost of a Roomba or a Scooby and even if I put a pound away a week - it will take me years !

I think we should have a 'I want one of those - but CAN'T' appreciation society.

[Jeanne]

That society would have a very long list for me

I am trying to put myself off by looking at all the mess on my floors. I have 2 children left at home, and they would win a gold medal for being messy! I am sure you hav to pick up the big bits for a Roomba to work (I hope so anyway) I use the nozzle of my vac to do that as I hoover, and put them in a bag. I have arthritis in my back, shoulder and elbow, and it hurts to bend down.

I am a wreck!

[clucky1]

You poor thing Maybe a bit of kid bribery may work for a bit of help. It 'sometimes' works for me.

[Jeanne]

I will try the old making cakes trick. That one usually works, and now I have plenty of our own eggs

[clucky1]

Thats a GOOD one - Anything sweet. If they don't help - and my kids don't either.(Plan of action) WE could always dock their pocket money - Maybe the 'roomba' isn't just a distant dream

I'd have to put a 2nd eglu and cube on that list

and extra space for said chickens

 

You may not get a scooba review for a while as collecting from near OH's parents at the weeekend. It is second hand, as is the roomba.
