re: Post something you've purchased in past year that's more than paid for itself

You have to read the thread.

My synopsis of the video

That video was hilarious.

The neato is like "oh, here's some dirt. But there are these walls. Ok no problem, I'll just take my time and go around them and get that dirt cleaned right up."

The roomba is like "GET THE frick OUT OF MY WAY. I NEED TO CLEAN THE frick OUT OF THIS WHOLE AREA RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!WALLS? frick YOU WALLS!"

My review of Wall-E's first clean

quote:

---

So Wall-E dominated this half the house. He made it through 1/2 the living room going around the big couch, tried like hell to get under the recliner, couldn't make it. He gets an A for effort there. He spent a little time chasing the dog around. She was freaked the F out. He wasn't having none of that. Just kept on grinding.

He then sped around the big couch to the front of the living room and found the great wide open spaces in front the TV and couches. A little ambitious, and perhaps overjoyed with his new found freedom he tried to tackle the open area. Soon he figured out though that he was running out of juice. He bee-lined it for his dock. About 30 minutes later he woke up and said arright boys let get hopping.

Wall-E beelined it back to the spot he left off and destroyed the open area. He then moved under the coffee table and had to work his way around by prodding the legs and cross members. After that he made for the love seat and destroyed some dog hair under there. From there Wall-E chugged on across the room to the far wall and cleaned everything under the big couch.

Once he returned to the daylight from his cavernous adventure he looked a little confused. What'd he encounter under there? Idk but he made it out alive. Confused he spun scanning the room. Suddenly I realized he ain't confused. He's making sure he got everything.

Once satisfied he ran off into the hall. We heard him running up and down there for about 15 minutes. Then that now famiier sound. The vacuum shut off as he needed to sleep as he was done with everything he could reach. He came charging out the hall, like a proud soldier returning from war. He bypassed the parades and cheers and went straight home to relax with his family in his dock.

Wall-E is now slumbering away at his dock.

Wondering, what will tomorrows adventure behold?

Now making my own sausage and ground meat. Saving a bunch and better quality.

Sirloin Tip or Rump Roast. Whichever is on sale, when I get ready to make it. I can usually get very low fat ground beef for 2.99 - 3.29 a lb. That model has a 10 pound per minute grind rate. I found it grinds much faster than I can feed it. Great purchase.
