    I phoned naked cleaners and asked for a robot cleaner, and they sent me this.

    I've actually had 2 Roomba's but that's only because I came back from a contract once to find that my electronic cleaning pet had a large dent in the top of it and no longer seemed to function of which mental ex gf chef knew absolutely nothing about other than "it stopped working" That isn't to say the build quality is anything far from great but it doesn't match up to an east european fruitcake alone in the house.

    Are there any that can do navigate stairs yet? Quite a common feature in many houses, I want Robocop not ED209.

    its for a London flat. I just cannot be bothered to get the Dyson out no more to pick up all the 'bits' of fluff from socks etc.

    There are different models and I dunno what the difference is, I know they're meant to dock and power up automatically but what is your experience of them ?
    Oi! This isn't Mumsnet you know.

    Get wood flooring and one of those big industrial sized brushes. It will only take 10 seconds to sweep the floor more effectively than a vacuum 'cleaner' with the power consumption of an usherettes torch.

    This is where you're theory falls down. No man has ever cleaned behind a radiator.

    I do polish my knob quite regularly though.

    Nudity precludes the use of hardcore chemicals to clean the oven IMO. Too risky.

    How does it cope with clutter? There's bags, waterbottles, magazines, tissue boxes, junk mail, books, shoes and other general crap strewn around the room.

    Can you sit on the sofa and knock one out while they hoover under your feet? Will they will mop it up?

    Do you think they polish everything?

    +1 for Roomba

    Unfortunately it scares the tulip out of the cats so gf chef decided a cleaner was the better option

    LOL thats an assumption and a half...

    For the purpose of this Instructable, I am going to be assuming that you have a basic knowledge of basic electronics, the Arduino and the Arduino's programming language.
