    I still have a brand new one in a box for anyone who wants to trade for some ammo.
    I have 2 others that are now unused just gathering dust. I think they were more of just a novelty for my wife initially.

    I have a better idea. If you want it, just send me your address and I'll send it to you. I'll even pay the postage.
    All I ask is that you promise to make a donation at some point (no matter how large or small) to any foster care facility or family who has foster children in Texas.

    My wife's sister got one for a Christmas gift a few years ago. She said the Roomba was junk after trying it out one day.
    Really? My wife has an Eufy robo vac and loves it.
    It's not a replacement to a good old-fashioned vacuum, but it's amazing how much it picks up. I look at the bin full of crap and the bristle full of hair and I'm glad it runs daily.
    It runs while we are away so it bothers nobody but the dog.

    I have a couple of echo dots.

    I play music. I set alarms. I ask it for the weather forecast. It turns several lights on/off. It notifies me when a package is left at the gate.

    And I use my Roomba and it gets under the couch and under the bed clean - especially great for dog hair!

    Didn't think I'd like the echo dot or Roomba. I was wrong about both.

    Your not afraid the Roomba is mapping your home for the FED Boi's?

    Rarely use it for music but it listens for glass breakage as part of my alarm system. Robo vac...yes, it's in the closet due to the dang thing always getting wrapped in a cord, dog toy or stuck on a plant stand with angled legs.

    control my ceiling fans

    and the best one is alexa turn on television. It turns on all the components in the correct order without a single remote.

    crawl into bed and alexa shut it down. Turns off lights and TV

    Got an Echo dot free with some promotion years back. It's still in the box. I have a lot of home automation, but it's all locally controlled via HomeAssistant.

    I'm pretty sure the feds and corporations want to know how much milk and eggs you have in your fridge!
