Meet My "Maid"~*

I know you all are thrilled and extremely curious to meet my “live in” maid so I am doing this post to make a proper introduction of her. My husband is OVER THE MOON, I think he likes this Christmas present more than I do. In a way, I believe he got this for himself so that he does not have to clean anymore. Asking him to clean the house is such an extremely..extremely ..extremly unpleasant and tiring thing to do. I have no idea how many times I almost bring him to court for a divorce because of this reason.

Without further ado, meet our newest addition to the family – a Robot Maid. You read it right, people. “Neato” – a robotic vacumn that always works hard and will never complain. My husband loves it so much that he thinks it should have a name so he decided to call it “D2R2” and sometimes “Betty”.


{She is beautiful, isn't she?}

Okay I was SUPER skeptical and not sure how to react when I unwrapped the present and saw this thing. You know how men are such a tech geek when it comes to high-tech toys, they are as excited as seeing a naked woman. As a woman, seeing this weird looking thing in a box did not excite me much but OH MY GOD…OH MY GOD…my reaction was completely different when I witnessed how this little gadget did its magic. PRETTY AMAZING – I must say!! The world of vacumn cleaning has taken on a new delightful meaning ever since.

Vacumning is not a difficult task but having TWO cats and an active little child is another story. Cat lovers know exactly what it is like to go after and clean up cat hair. Our house gets dirty really quick and needs to be vacumned on a daily basis which can be dainting, given that my husband and I both work full time and we have an energetic two year old little girl to keep up with. As soon as you clean up, new spots of cat hair / dirts show up in no time. It is a never-ending job, really. Do you want to know how many vacumn cleaners do we have in our household? – “Two”. A pricey Kirby Sentria which is as loud as having a construction site next door and a pet hair vacumn cleaner. I do not want to sound like a lazy bum here but juggling that huge and heavy Kirby vacumn cleaner out to clean everytime is not ideal. Now all we have to do is hitting a “start” button and let Betty do her job, while we go on and do other chores around the house.



You all have probably seen “Roomba” - the first ground breaking hi-tech cleaning robot that came out a few years ago. Neato is its rival which has better reviews and supposedly has superior performance. My husband first ordered a Roomba but decided to return it because he found that Neato had better reviews. This vacumn cleaning robot is NOT meant to take place of an old fashioned vacumn cleaning method because it will not clean 100% (but I would say it covers 90% - 95% of the surface). You still have to use your vacumn cleaner but MUCH less frequently. In order to help this robot does its job more efficiently, it is important to prep the area by picking up stuff off the floor. Once you hit a start button, it quicly scans the room and starts cleaning along the edge then inner areas and throghout the house. My husband got a great deal on this before Christmas. Regular price is $399 but he got it for $299 with a free cordless wet/dry dirt devil vacumn. We are talking about deal here, people!



Pros

- Work great in hard-to-reach areas such as under the bed, cabinets, table, chairs which most vacumn cleaner can not reach. I am amazed to see the amount of dust/dirt and etc. it picks up under the bed.

- It does an excellent job cleaning and picking up pet hair / dirt / dust and small particles

- It doesn't hit the wall or objects in the house. It goes from room to room until everywhere is cleaned. Amazing how it remembers its path.

- Great suction power. Never realized how dirty my carpet is..haha.

- It goes on different surfaces seamlessly – from carpet to tile to woodfloor and does not get stuck under the dining table where there are many chair legs in its way. It manages to get in between and around to clean. Even on certain raised surface, it does not get strucked. Very entaining to watch how it works.

- Noise level is very bearable, not nearly loud as our vacumn cleaner. You can still watch TV.

- Save time and sanity. Once we hit start, you can forget about it. It goes on to do its job and even goes back to a base on its own to recharge when battery is low or the job is done. If the job is not done but battery is low it will go back to its base, recharge, comes back to finish where it left off. HOLY COW!! All you have to do is empty the container! AMEN! It does not need supervision.

- Keep the cats entertained, they love following it around the house – lol



Cons

- Due to its shape and size, you can not expect it to clean and reach corner thoroughly

- I really wish it has a voice or speaks to notify when the container needs to be emptied



Verdict: LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, thanks Santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Now, I want another one that mobs and sanitizes the floor. That will be PERFECTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
