can't remember, after all this time, it has probably been superceeded anyway. All I know is it sucks upthe the load of sand I bring home from my walks on the beach from the floors a lot better than any vacs I've had previously.

DaveThe only fault with the Dyson is they are rather noisy. I've had mine for 5 years and it works as well now as when it was new even after having to guzzle up dog's hair and sand.
Just my 2 cents worth. Cheers now, Marie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 3:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking robot vacuum cleaner
In all seriousness, I'm in the market for a new vacuum-cleaner, and my son keeps going on at me to buy a Dyson. I've not had much experience of them, but lots of people tell me they aren't as good as they are cracked up to be. How have people got on with them? And is the talking cleaner very heavy, and can you push it around manually so to speak? After all, I'm used to having a proverbial broom following me around. (smile.)

Dave Hi www.broadbandstuff.co.uk Electroluxe also makes one and Dison is developing one. A few others are available but none appears to have speech onboard. This is the fifth generation Roomba Deon At 12:14 29/04/2008, you wrote:Right Deon, sounds fantastic! so where do you get it from? Don't mind telling you I'm having a good old laugh at the idea of one of them wandering round doing its thing ... I've heard of it before, but have never come across anybody using one.

Recently bought an IRobot Roomba 560 robot vacuum cleaner. It comes with an onboard talking, voice demo. The same female voice also gives instructions when problems arise, e.g. clean brushes. It gives audible operational warnings e.g. when docking, reversing out of docking station, turning on, etc. It comes with 2 virtual walls, does not fall down the stairs and goes back to its docking station to recharge when the battery is low. Sighted help is needed to set the time and date and set up schedules. However, you don't have to set up schedules; just press the clean button and off it goes. Works pretty well to keep floors clean between major hoovering sessions. Priced round £240. Hope this makes life easier for some.
