On searching for "RoboMaid" with Vivisimo, I found much discussion. One person said that he purchased it as a cat toy -- the cats lost interest after the first day, but he was pleasantly surprised to discover that it actually does clean.
Another person pointed out that the RoboMaid *is* a cat toy -- often sold with a tail instead of a Swiffer, under the name Weasel Ball or Weazel Ball. He said that the softball-engine of his RoboMaid has a pair of hooks for attaching a tail. (I wonder whether someone got the idea because the tail on his Weasel Ball needed frequent cleaning?) Other folks said that the cleaning rags are washable, and that you can cut your own out of cheaper locally-available cleaning rags. But lots and lots of people said that scam websites find such a cheap self-propelled dust mop to be a royal bonanza; one fellow said that he paid ten dollars for his RoboMaid, but the shipping charges were highly inflated, and he was tricked into ticking a box that put an extra fifty-six dollar charge on his credit-card bill. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where it isn't raining at the moment.
