@JTrilogy LOL, you got that right. Unless you have either Berber or hardwood floors, roombas are worthless. I had a roomba once...once. It took 45min to clean my living room. I can sweep it with the dyson in 5min, and get a hell of a lot more dirt.
I just don't get robotic vacuums... If you don't have time to vacuum your own floors than your house is probably so damn large you could afford servants to do it for you.
@Cinoclav Combining my work with volunteering as a robotics coach for middle schoolers, I can make the time to clean...but I'd rather be playing computer games instead.
Hey Meh what are you Woot? Don't you know it's cyber Monday and you should be offering big deals that make us all drool and drop things and...Oh... now I get it!
...was really hoping for something cooler and more in my price range for my birthday today. Move along @JonT and @thumperchick...nothing the birth day trio needs to see.
Where's my present meh? It's not every day you turn a quarter century.
@gertiestn I purchased two rumbas from Woot many years ago. It was such a long time ago they are both now defective. I threw them away but kept some of the belts motors and other spare parts like the virtual walls. I will buy a replacement as soon as one is affordable.
@shawn Oops, I posted that comment on my tablet and, instead of using the keyboard, I pressed the microphone button and then spoke what I wanted it to say. You cannot see the entire comment so proofreading it is difficult before you post it. Good catch by the way.
None have sold so far. I wonder what the ROI will be? Hopefully meh got a really, really good deal on them. Wouldn't mind getting one in a fuku if they don't sell out.
@esjacobs And if you did would you spend it on a dinner plate sized vacuum that cannot be powerful enough to even suck up a god fearing flea from his humble twined home?
@Cinoclav Hey I can vacuum some of my cats with a hand tool vacuum wand…no need for a leaf blower to herd the cat hair dust bunnies like tumbleweeds...
Am I supposed to get my parole officer a gift? Nobody told me! There was that one time I gave him my pee in a cup, and then he gave me that matching set of shiny silver bracelets, but then he just took them right back a few hours later, and he kept my gift! No - no gift for him this year! He's still in a gift deficit.
@SirLouie (a) what does that have to do with the price of tea in china? And (b) if I had one of these I'd just time travel anything that needed vacuumed back to before it landed in on the floor...
@tsfisch I paid more than that for a vacuum that I have to push around myself... actually, I didn't, but the retail sticker said it was worth that much
@capguncowboy You can't really compare a roomba to a 'real' vacuum though. Maybe they've gotten better since I bought one close to 10 years ago (and barely used it) but there's no way they can get 15 amps of suction power into a device like that. So it's essentially a glorified manual carpet sweeper like a Hoky
This is a good price for this, the thing that keeps me from buying one is we have 4 dogs and the bins on these things are way too small. Gonna stick with our dysons.
I got one of these monsters in my last Fuku. The only problem is how much disgusting yuck it finds in my house. I thought the place was reasonably clean, just dusty. Every third run, we have to clean the brushes- the volume of packed pet hair, dust and general foulness is beyond belief. Apparently we were living in squalor and didn't realize.
@OldCatLady i also got one in the last Fuku. Just from doing my bedroom, it can get filthy even if i use it only once a week there. And that's even a few hours after a regular vacuum is used. Out of curiosity, how do you clean the filters?
@FroodyFrog I haven't yet. Need to RTFM. I just dump the bin over the trash, and disassemble the brushes. @Thumperchick, I have three cats. No way am I getting rid of it. This is my third Roomba, and it's twice as efficient as the others. Just tell Santa you need one.
@OldCatLady You got a manual with yours? None of the paper bundles i got really looks like a real manual. Gotta look through the papers again, or just Google it.

@mediocrebot OH WHAT THE HELL
NOPE!
Damn that's expensive.
Meh...
todays meh face says it all
Meh is trolling us.
Ouch! Too rich for my blood.
@jsh139 Meh must think we're made of money, like we sold an internet start-up to Amazon or something.
I still use this one - Circa 2005
https://flic.kr/p/qef4w3][img]
Holy moneybag$
My cat thinks he's no where near as dirty as you seem to think we are.
I need something a little stronger than the Meh button for this one. How about a "blech" button?
@bluedog lol
I don't know what I expected.
@Eris FUKUBUKURO bags for everyone!
Or nowhere near, but then my kitty can't diagram sentences, either.
Cyber Mehday!
Yikes! If I had that kind of dosh I surely wouldn't be hanging out with you guys!
@ruouttaurmind Now that's funny.
That is the fastest I have ever clicked the MEH button...
Holy cow! When did Roombas get so expensive? They better scrub the toilet too for that kind of dough. Maybe make me dinner. But not in that order.
Super meh, even if there is a baby arm. Wouldn't buy even if it was purple. Probably.
@heartny Filling in: I love purple. - Barney
@Cinoclav Thank you. I think Barney is on holiday.
@heartny Exactly the reason.
@heartny I love Barney
@Cinoclav @heartny I love purple.
I want this to be a visceral Meh:
MEEEHHHHH
Feel it Meh. feel it.
I wonder why Meh has so many Roombas... Maybe Meh get's them because they're expensive, loud, and terrible and no one else can sell them.
@JTrilogy LOL, you got that right. Unless you have either Berber or hardwood floors, roombas are worthless. I had a roomba once...once. It took 45min to clean my living room. I can sweep it with the dyson in 5min, and get a hell of a lot more dirt.
@jzmacdaddy no... roombas fail vs. Neatos
@JTrilogy HEADSHOT
@JTrilogy You don't hear the noise when you set the time to run when you aren't there.
I just don't get robotic vacuums... If you don't have time to vacuum your own floors than your house is probably so damn large you could afford servants to do it for you.
@Cinoclav Hipsters sir. Hipsters are the anwser to this.
@Cinoclav Combining my work with volunteering as a robotics coach for middle schoolers, I can make the time to clean...but I'd rather be playing computer games instead.
You weren't kidding about not observing Black Monday, were ya, Meh?
This deal sucks
@gti87 I see what you did there....
Hey Meh what are you Woot? Don't you know it's cyber Monday and you should be offering big deals that make us all drool and drop things and...Oh... now I get it!
...was really hoping for something cooler and more in my price range for my birthday today. Move along @JonT and @thumperchick...nothing the birth day trio needs to see.
Where's my present meh? It's not every day you turn a quarter century.
@studerc HBD! Even with a Roomba, HBD!
@studerc Awwww…. Happy birthday to you, @JonT and @thumperchick!!!!
@studerc @Thumperchick @JonT Happy Birthday to the triumvirate!
@Cinoclav thanks!
For that kind of money that's not quite the type of suction I'm looking for.
Not enough of a discount off retail in order for me to make an impulse buy.
@cengland0 Unlike every other time you've bought a Roomba on impulse?
@gertiestn I purchased two rumbas from Woot many years ago. It was such a long time ago they are both now defective. I threw them away but kept some of the belts motors and other spare parts like the virtual walls. I will buy a replacement as soon as one is affordable.
@cengland0 you should have bought a roomba instead of a rumba
@shawn Oops, I posted that comment on my tablet and, instead of using the keyboard, I pressed the microphone button and then spoke what I wanted it to say. You cannot see the entire comment so proofreading it is difficult before you post it. Good catch by the way.
@cengland0 All I hear are excuses. We all know whose fault this is.
Who wants to bet on how many will sell? I have 5 Schrute bucks on a total of 12 sold.
@BootlegCraig Vegas under / over is 17
@BootlegCraig I'm in with $1000 monopoly dollars and if you don't like those, Uncle Wrigley money.
@BootlegCraig I'll guess 154
@BootlegCraig 32 is my guess
Oops - forgot my guess - 53
@BootlegCraig 28
@BootlegCraig Meh is gonna fudge the numbers.
Already up to 10 so I don't think my guess of 28 will hold :/
@BootlegCraig 72
@BootlegCraig 84
@BootlegCraig One dollar, Bob.
@BootlegCraig 111.
@BootlegCraig I don't know what Schrute bucks are but I guess I'm getting five of them because I was closest!
Cat Dressed as Princess Jasmine riding a "flying carpet" powered by a roomba
@somf69 the music really completes this
The meh is strong with this one.
Pass!
None have sold so far. I wonder what the ROI will be? Hopefully meh got a really, really good deal on them. Wouldn't mind getting one in a fuku if they don't sell out.
cyber-WTF-day indeed ....wait for it: @snapster will cut this by 50% .... .... wait.... ..... ....wait..... fml
@unixrab I'm sure Meh has the same opinion of Cyber Monday as they do of Black Friday.
@givemeyoursoul yer name says it all...
@unixrab You didn't have enough faith for it to work.
@cengland0 yes. my faith in octopi was shattered years ago, and only recently have the shards been gathering back together ... albeit ... slowly
Neato price kills this "deal". Even the new botvac is $250
@satih NEATO rulz ... roomba.. uh... ... droolz?
Meh
I don't go to meh because I have an extra $450 lying around.
@esjacobs And if you did would you spend it on a dinner plate sized vacuum that cannot be powerful enough to even suck up a god fearing flea from his humble twined home?
@Outofmymind I would not. And though it has other benefits, there are far cheaper choices of things my cats can ride on. Say, a turtle.
I had to check (and reload) just to see if that really said $FOURHUNDREDANDFIFTY DOLLARS ...
it did... wow
omg, who the hell bought one? who are you!
a Black and Decker leaf blower is far more fun- and you can score 5 for the same price- especially if you have pets.
@alacrity
@Cinoclav Hey I can vacuum some of my cats with a hand tool vacuum wand…no need for a leaf blower to herd the cat hair dust bunnies like tumbleweeds...
Meeeeeeh.
Thanks for a lousy start to December, @unixrab!
@editorkid no no no ... no
Sheesh; $450??? Just because Meh's dastardly Singing "Cowboy" is allowed to molest farm animals in rodeos doesn't mean he can defile my wallet as well.
Am I supposed to get my parole officer a gift? Nobody told me! There was that one time I gave him my pee in a cup, and then he gave me that matching set of shiny silver bracelets, but then he just took them right back a few hours later, and he kept my gift! No - no gift for him this year! He's still in a gift deficit.
@TimePollution Meh is your new parole ossifur.
I've never seen a flux capacitor this cheap before.
@SirLouie (a) what does that have to do with the price of tea in china? And (b) if I had one of these I'd just time travel anything that needed vacuumed back to before it landed in on the floor...
@SirLouie I thought the exact same thing at first glance.
@Kidsandliz Look at the picture (the original one for the Roomba) closely.
@Kidsandliz
This is a Woot-esq deal :(
$450 Roomba? I think I hit my head while falling over after seeing that.
@tsfisch I paid more than that for a vacuum that I have to push around myself... actually, I didn't, but the retail sticker said it was worth that much
@capguncowboy You can't really compare a roomba to a 'real' vacuum though.

Baby Arm
I don't think I'll ever buy a Roomba. But the next time meh puts a Dyson up for sale, there's a high likelihood I'll be in for one.
@SSteve Dyson and Neato FTW!
happy Cyber Mehnday.
@harrison Please do a de-meh-lition of this! At least let some good come out of having a super-deluxe Roomba available.
"We sold 28 of these.
3621 clicked meh. "
heh
This is a good price for this, the thing that keeps me from buying one is we have 4 dogs and the bins on these things are way too small. Gonna stick with our dysons.
Alright Cyber Monday lets see what meh has on sa.....oh....
MEH!
Add speaker dock and....
Is this the single most expensive thing in the history of Meh?
OVER 60,000 visits to the site today .... and they got to see a Roomba
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
Right now we're at 76 sales and 5165 mehs... that's 0.0147 sales for every meh (roughly). That might be the worst ratio ever.
Sorry :( What did you expect, though?
80 sold now. Apparently 80 of you have a hell of a lot more disposable income than I!
I got one of these monsters in my last Fuku. The only problem is how much disgusting yuck it finds in my house. I thought the place was reasonably clean, just dusty. Every third run, we have to clean the brushes- the volume of packed pet hair, dust and general foulness is beyond belief. Apparently we were living in squalor and didn't realize.
@OldCatLady If it bothers you, I'd happily take away that constant reminder. I'd give it a great home, all the husky fur he can eat!
@OldCatLady i also got one in the last Fuku. Just from doing my bedroom, it can get filthy even if i use it only once a week there. And that's even a few hours after a regular vacuum is used.
Out of curiosity, how do you clean the filters?
@FroodyFrog I haven't yet. Need to RTFM. I just dump the bin over the trash, and disassemble the brushes. @Thumperchick, I have three cats. No way am I getting rid of it. This is my third Roomba, and it's twice as efficient as the others. Just tell Santa you need one.
@OldCatLady You got a manual with yours? None of the paper bundles i got really looks like a real manual. Gotta look through the papers again, or just Google it.
@FroodyFrog It's on the CD, or you can d/l. Do register it at iRobot, there are benefits & forums & downloads and hacks.
@OldCatLady Almost totally forgot about the CD. And thank you for reminding me to register it.
