The Roomba is cleaning while I make jam.  It has cleaned all the floors in 2 days. That is 5 bedrooms, ( under the beds), study , lounge, dressing room, long passage, kit/ dining area, laundry and pantry.  Love it.  I gave it a good clean out this morning,  took 10 minutes.
We have never bought a new vac cleaner,  all hand me downs.  We do have a Dyson cordless and days on hand vac.  The other big one can go to the shed.

You need reporting to the vacuum police for overworking your Roomba. ;D ;D ;D

Is the roomba "free-ranging" or does one have to set parameters? A free-ranging floor cleaner could work for me!  :D

Roomba will have to wait.

Just came back from signing off on a car!

Was hanging out for a Mazda 6 wagon with their latest Skyactive fuel saving technology. Wanted to get a used one for under $30k....but none came on to the market in the past 3 months. All close to $40k :(

So, had to change strategy and looked at other models. They had sedan and their compact SUV (CX5) with the same tech. Drove the 5 yesterday. 2L engine. Was so so. Drove a 6 sedan demo car this morning. 2.5L, 6.6L/100km claimed consumption, 12,000km clocked, sat nav, pearly white. Nice!

Talked the salesman to making it $29990 drive away, with 3 months rego thrown in. Put in offer, but his boss wanted $500 more. I walked away. Climbed into my car, started my engine and the next thing I know the boss was standing right next to my car.

"How about we meet half way at $250?"

I relented at $30,200 :D

BZB it is lovely. Well done. Quite often when you walk away you get a better offer.
