early mom’s day gift

DH just bought an iRobot aka Roomba last weekend for me as an early mother’s day gift! Normally I would cringe when he says he wants to buy things “for me”, because the stuff he wants to buy are usually what he wants, and not what I want, e.g. the 2-sets of knives, Blendtec Blender just to name a few. (Hmm… wait a sec… maybe he wants it more than I do since he is the one who does most of the cleaning nowadays. :P ) But this time, I’m really happy with his purchase because I know this “gadget” is going to be used very often. I don’t have to wait as long as 1.5months for my man to vacuum the floor now since with a push of a button, my Roomba will do the job anytime I want. :)

PS: Scooba the floor washing robot, seems to be a great companion for my Roomba, can someone please get it for me too?? *bats my eyes* :)

  1. *Envy* Think I will have to wait till Xmas to have one… Your hubby very sweet & thoughtful. Know that you are busy taking care of your little ones and bought this for you :)

    Scooba? Never heard it. Seems like it is a must to get that too! :) Hmmmm…. Must go find out and maybe can ask for that too. Hehehe…

  2. Looks like it is also a cool toy to nikita!
    Happy Mother’s day

  3. Wow! Cool gadget! Hope it’ll help save lots of time and back breaking pain from cleaning the floor!

    Happy Mother’s Day to you, dear crazymommy! I think you’re really the coolest, fantastic best mom to Nikita and Niklas!

  4. does it work as well as it touts itself to be? just curious… as my sister is hankering for one.

  5. Please.. please.. please.. please.. tell me if it really works..! i wanna buy one.. but i am afraid.. it wouldn’t do a good job. please let me know by email ya.. :) many thanks in advance..!

  6. Since I have only used it twice so far, it is a bit too early to tell if it is really doing a good job. But so far we have no complaints yet. What we like abt the roomba now is that it is good in picking up hairs (thank goodness… no need to hear the nags of my DH). However, we do find that it is not very good in sucking the rug fibers. Not sure if it is because it was transiting from rug to hardwood floor. Anyway, one point to note… my house is almost 85% hardwood floor. So, if you have carpeted flooring, you will have to read the other reviews online. :)

  7. Wah.. lao gong so nice to you! I must make my hubby read this.. give us a review after a few months k?

  8. hahah my man is the same, things he likes he’ll assume i am looking forward to have them too.. ended he says buy for me but he is using…

    Mumsgather, SSSF, IVY, yes, Roomba is really a good and practical gift!

    Mamabok, I wrote to you earlier, not sure if you saw my comment in your blog. We paid abt 239 for the roomba. :)

    Erika, I love the roomba! It is really good at picking hairs and rug fibers!!! You must really consider getting this for yourself. It is going to be a great help when your baby arrives!
