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.)

Oh no, not a talking Dyson! you've heard of Dyson's syndrome....
after twelve months, suffers from loss of suction and constant
whining....now with a realistic voice! no no no, band from my house!

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

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.

Subject: [access-uk] Talking robot vacuum cleaner
Hi all
Thought some might be as fed up as me with hoovering so thought I'd
pas this on.
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.
