Just wanted to share with you all what seems to be a great deal on a Roomba automated vacuum. Not refurbished, these are brand new for $160!!

Haha. I haven't ever had a roomba but if any of you have ever been to my house, you know I need to vacuum so I went ahead and picked up 3. One for me, the gf, and one for my parent's house. We'll see how it goes...

i think amazon had some for $60 but they were older models and refurbished.

I got the packages in the mail on Saturday and so far my gf loves it since it cleaned up 3 rooms at her house w/o a hitch. my parents love theirs and they like seeing it roam around. and mine literally just got done cleaning up my downstairs.

Seriously dude, this thing is a god send for single guys. i haven't ever vacuumed this much until now. hahaa! watching it work is ridiculously interesting because every time i fire it up, i find myself watching it roam around and i keep thinking "go left! go left!" or something. hahaha.
