Little helper

We've got a new helper. It's a little robot for a specific purpose - vacuuming that is. It is irobot roomba model 530.

I actually have kept in mind to buy this little robot since last year when reading about it somewhere. Finally, last week seeing the price has gone down since last year - it has been superseded by a new model - and it's on offer in Good Guys - with some extra in the salary this month - it's time to grab one.

I could say so far it works very well - really love it indeed that I feel I should have it long before.

But the price held me back.. For $390 (advertised as $396) - it's still expensive for such little thingy - almost 3/4 of the price for the washing machine. But it's good that you don't have to do it on your own. Because with the three creative little musketeers, vacuuming is a must every day.

And the kids were really excited at the beginning seeing how the little robot moving around the house to clean the floor. We also think that it's cute - it goes back to its home base when it's finished. Farhan even said, the roomba is his new smart toy that he named it - "Mike the vacuumer".

Is there any robot that could do cooking? I want one.
