Roomba, vroomba!

K ordered us a present that arrived yesterday. It is a Roomba. T carefully read the instructions, got it all charged up and we let it out yesterday. It's like a little pet. We watched it bump into all the obstacles, run over the tile and up onto the carpets. It sucked at the carpet fringes, and spat them out, and scampered over the few cords in its way without tripping or tugging. It ran for 2 hours and covered a pretty wide area but couldn't find its way back to its home to get recharged. We think the open space is too large and will try to divide the area into smaller sections for it to try to clean. It does a great job! Thanks to K!
