Athena can do chores :)

Helping it get under the cupboards

Here she is making sure it gets under the couch.

(No one in this house has EVER swept under the couch.)

So the Brocus household loves the Roomba. We can see where it wouldn't be for everyone as it certainly isn't perfect... but it's a whole lot better than the job any of us are doing!

Athena's CRAZY fear of vacuums makes it impossible to sweep, but her love of the Roomba has given us the cleanest floor we've had in ages. PLUS she turns it on, monitors it herself, and helps it by Swiffer-ing! Athena can have an actual chore now! She's totally in charge of the floor.

As it dutifully went under the couch to clean, even hard-to-impress Louis said "That thing is awesome."
