Slache Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 This is Wally - a Dibea D960. He was on a lightning deal a couple weeks ago. https://smile.amazon.com/Dibea-Cleaner-Self-Charging-Cleaning-Technology/dp/B075QFLX72/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1517690371&sr=8-2&keywords=dibea+d960 (((Slache))) Do you love him?

KrissiK Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 That was Lady Astor and Winston Churchill. Thank you! I couldn't remember who said it. I just looked that up to see who said it, and they said, it really wasn’t an original exchange between the two, if it happened at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I made a fruit infusion last night, since I really need to drink more water. It’s quite tasty. I had bought a pineapple, after I cut it up, I put the core in a pitcher and then cut up a big orange and threw that in, too, with some water and a bit of stevia. It’s yummy!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 We're back from our teen outing. My sheets are in the washer, bathroom rugs are in the dryer, dishwasher loaded and running, Rosie the roomba is working, dc have done their chores, and I have just finished my lunch. Maybe read and nap while stuff is working. I love putting my electronic servants to work. That's how I think of it; get up in the morning and put the servants to work. I have no desire to have human servants, but I do rather appreciate the machine kind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Do you love him? I was very pleased last night that he was working hard on the floors so I could focus on cooking dinner. The Pakistani Kima was tasty! I am still working out the kinks. I would have preferred to get a Neato d80 botvac, but they are so expensive. The Neato actually scans a room and "remembers" a logical pattern of vacuuming the rooms. The Dibea works like most of them in that they go kinda random all over the place and hopefully hit all the places before they run out of battery. So far, if we let Wally go for his whole battery life (over 2 hours), he does indeed seem to hit pretty much everywhere he's allowed - living room, dining room, kitchen. Might be about 600 square feet. He goes from hardwood to area rugs/door mats and over the bump into the kitchen without any trouble. He WILL get stuck on the foot of a Manhassett music stand, and sometimes he seems to obsess over one area because he runs into something and ends up right back where he has already been over 3 times. So I pick him up and put him in another place. I think the main solution to that is to change where his charging station is so he doesn't start and continually get stuck under the kitchen table. Once he got a small pencil stuck in the brush and he turned himself off. When the battery gets low or we hit the "home" button on the remote, he turns off the brushes and finds his way back to the charging station. He is surprisingly quiet. He has a hepa filter and is super easy to empty of dust. I think I like him well enough that I will eventually get the mopping accessory that is available. Not that our floors are getting so clean, I can see that we really need more mopping. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a workout mat. Do you think it will go over that? Mine can mop. Not like replace mopping, but like "Hmm.. do you think we should mop?" "No, let's just run the thing and we'll mop later" kind of a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Edpo Warning Reported I planned Science. I just got a Science Fusion middle school book on Ecology. There are a bunch of different units/topics so I’m trying this one to see if I like it enough to use next year. This one is taking up the rest of the year, doing science every day, and not even getting to Unit 4 (of 4) in the book. I guess it’s good to know that I’d only be able to get through 2 modules per year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Does he chase the bunnies? No, but I should let them out when it is running and see what happens.

Do you think it will go over that? Mine can mop. Not like replace mopping, but like "Hmm.. do you think we should mop?" "No, let's just run the thing and we'll mop later" kind of a thing.The Neato is the only one to my knowledge that does it. A workout mat is probably OK unless it has fringe. Will a regular vacuum go over it ok? Except she just told me where to look. :leaving: (Don't worry. I don't generally look in people's cabinets. I will sometimes look in people's bathroom cabinets to make sure that there's nothing that will kill my littles if they were to go snooping.) The bottles are sadly exposed for all to see. Kind of like an under-the-cabinet radio thing. But it's better than having them sitting on the counter waiting to be knocked over. (We only have a bottle or two at a time because dh is the only one who drinks wine.)
