Anyone got one? The wife and I are thinking on getting one and we are curious to know if it works.

Vacuuming is for the weak! That's why I have Roomba!

Consumer reports did a quicky review of this a few months back. They weren't impressed.

We don't have one but, our neighbors do. My wife borrows it sometimes and she has said she wants one. We have about 2100 s.f. of ceramic tile downstairs and the sweeping and mopping can be an all afternoon choir. That machine may not clean quite as good as the old fashion way but, it will help you stay on top of the housework.

I actually knew the girl that went on to become the technical director at Hoover Vacuum, and I believe she was from Ajax too Mappy!

(but that's best left for a forum that Warlock! can advise me of!) :D

Do you know what the difference is between a Hoover and a Harley?

The location of the dirtbag.

:eek: Now, that's a lot of ceramic tile!!

We'll have a lot in our new home, stamped concrete as well. I was hoping we could skip the vacuum or whatever, and just install a floor drain. I'd get me a Karcher, and hose the whole floor down. :thumbup: :cool: Although that'd be a bit hard on the furniture, I s'pose... :D

The previous owners had the tile installed and it covers the entire downstairs. Closets, utility room, living, dining, kitchen, master bedroom, both baths.

The first time we cleaned it after we moved in we had just your typical mop that you buy at the grocery. About half way through the job, I went to the local Home Depot and bought one of those commercial 6 gallon mop buckets on rollers and a built in ringer along with a bigass mop that has the interchangable mopheads. Its still a pain in the ass to mop it all by hand, about like mowing the yard. By the time you soap mop, rinse mop and then dry mop you realize that mopping SUCKS. Especially because I get to "help" out.

However, it is great with kids, no stains and since it is always hot here, it keeps the house alot cooler in the summers.

And a cold tile floor does wonders when "praying to the porcelin gods!!"

Sure. Later, he gained a ton of success as the frontman for LayBack Lenny and the Four Skins.

THAT gig came to a really sad end the night they played the Jewish Congress Center at Front & Spadina.

(The circumstances surrounding that deal are better left to the adult forums that Warlock! inhabits) :eek: :D
