Me Waaantssss….
Am I the only one who gets all excited about things that clean the house? Like this for instance…
Ah yes, the Roomba! A dream for those living in a house where the floor is perpetually covered with crumbs! This nifty little gadget zooms around all on its own vacuuming up the room for you. The best part? You don’t even have to be home for it to do its thang!
And what Roomba would be complete without his best friend…
…the Scooba! You don’t want Roomba to get lonely, do you? I didn’t think so. Not only does Scooba vacuum your hard surface floors, it washes your floors for you, too! SQUEEEE! The best part? You don’t even have to be home for it to do its thang!
My bad habit (because I have only one, you know) is that I have a tendency to throw a load of laundry in the machine, head out for the day, and then totally forget that there are clothes in the machine until I go to throw in the next load, usually a day or two later. This means I have to rerun the entire load and begin the process of trying to keep up with the massive amount of dirty clothes my tribe creates. I’ll finally get all caught up, throw in the last load, and guess what? I forget all about it. It never fails. Then I saw this little beauty…
Allow me to make the proper introductions. Friends Friend, this is the LG WM3431HW 24" Washer/Dryer Combo. This wonderful product is the solution to all of my problems. You throw in a load of laundry, turn it on, and it first washes, then dries the clothes for you. In the same machine! I KNOW! The only problem is that it can take up to 6 hours for everything to finish up, so really, I would need at least two to keep up with the amount of laundry my family makes (three if it’s bed changing day). No more moldy smelling clothes when I get tired of washing the same load three or more times in a row! As you can see, I clearly have a problem. But as I said before, just one. But! The best part? You don’t even have to be home for it to do its thang! Are you sensing a theme here?
Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have $3500 just sitting around. So feel free to pick one or two of these things up and send them my way! And while you’re at it, grab one of these for Andrew, too.
The Robomower from Friendly Robotics, because your yard will be jealous!
My uncle has that cool remote control lawn mower. it’s awesome. When the charge runs down…it goes (on it’s own) into it’s little “dog house” thing and charges itself…and then finishes the yard by itself! You put sensors on the edges of your property and it knows to not go past.

You do know that there’s also a little robot gutter-cleaner, right?
It was kinda cool to watch.
But, yes, I’d love to have the Roomba and Scooba.
The washer/dryer? If it folded and put away the clothes, too, then we’d be talking. ^_^

I want an Alice like on Brady Bunch to do all my cleaning…instead of machines
Although those did look neat

I would LOVE a washer/dryer combo. I don’t care if it takes 6 hours. That’s still shorter than the time it takes me to remember to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
