The modern home.
October 24th, 2009
I’ve long been a Luddite when it comes to household appliances, my life changed when I saw one of these little babies, yep that’s right, a remote controlled cordless vacuum cleaner.
Anyway, I just couldn’t hold out any longer, and about half an hour ago, I finally got a chance to use them all (yes, I said all, you can’t just stop at one). If you’ve ever considered getting one I strongly advise it, in fact to help make up your mind, here’s a clip of mine in action.
Click the image to see them in action.
I dropped an almost full bag of popcorn, the clip would have been more impressive had I not watched them for a few minutes before remembering to film it for you.
PS. Towards the end of the clip, you can see a good example of how Belle’s disability manifests itself (when she tries to lift her leg over Bentley to get past him), otherwise you hardly even notice it, except for the pronounced limp due to one leg being shorter.

the quick picker pupper
as opposed to the quirky pooper puppy
That put a big smile on my face. My three will chase popcorn anywhere you throw it.
I don’t usually have popcorn, I see why now…
Many years ago I read a report that said women’s vagina’s had a suction ability to suck in the old spermoids so that they reached the point they were supposed to get to. On this information, I realised as a canny Scot that I could save money by not buying a vacuum cleaner and just whipping off my drawers and running the old rat over the carpets. This worked tremendously well but the carpet burns on the old beef curtains took its toll after a while. It was particularly uncomfortable sucking up discarded fag ends and beer cans after riotous party’s. Hell. I never though about getting a dog. Thanks for the tip.
That’s very interesting, in fact I tried to get MDW to clean the floors up here that that way once, but alas our floors are mostly varnished wood, and the continuous popping sounds she made as she changed locations were too distracting. However, I did have some success in sticking a broom-handle up her butt so she could sweep and do dishes at the same time.
Ha. Love it.
This post was even better than your comments.
According to some, an extremely rare occurrence.
Yeah, I’ve got one of those, but it must be the deluxe model.
Mine will also clean my plates, wash my hands & face, as well as being a bed warmer & room deodorizer. It comes with a snooze alarm that will try & wake me from a sound sleep every 15 minutes after the Sun has come up & also let me know when I’ve exceeded my share of the mattress allotment..
It also comes with exercise mode (set for twice daily) & while so engaged, will inform of what other auto robotic vacs have been in the area & by leaving a special fluid (optional extra) on each site so that other auto vacs are also alerted.
PS. Forgot to mention the automatic dust emptying attachment.
Not to mention the garbage disposal function.
OK! Where can I get me one of these OH so efficient, well behaved trio’s? And one must ask? Do you take trade ins? LOL!!!
i’m always surprised to see how much bigger belle is than the other two.
So are the other two!
Such efficiency! And such energy savers, too. No excess electricity wasted.
The vaccuum running in the background must be to pick up all the hair your cordless models leave behind.
Ah, that sound was them.
I’ve been wanting one of those for a long time. Two of my friends have them and love them. One even hacks into hers and programs it to do stuff it otherwise isn’t programmed to do. A woman I used to clean house for has one- her kids got it for her after getting one for themselves and loving it. She probably still hasn’t really made use of it, mostly because for her it was “just one more thing to sit down, read a manual on, and figure out how to work.” ;)
So. Which cordless vacuum do you like best?
Bet you never have to empty the bags on these. hee hee. (Just open the door and they race outside and unload themselves).
The all have their strengths and weaknesses.
I havea similar model…his on switch is “Ut Oh! or “Whoops”…but sometimes he misses something and I have to employ the “foot tap” to point it out. It seems the multi unit is more efficient.
Great job, but “remote control” implies that you have the control. We all know better!
Any opportunity to show another pet clip WT.
Sadly, it’s all I’ve got…
By the way, I was watching, but I totally missed Belle’s leg…guess she does pretty good!
LMFAO I need one of those cordless vacs, I have one but she’s not all that functional.
I laughed out loud! Thank you for that. I use my boys for the same quick pick up of dropped food. They work great, don’t they! xoxo
Best laugh of the day – thanks so much!
p.s. I love your floor. Wouldn’t mind having something like that in my apartment instead in the worn-down alleged parquet (rubber tires are hell on the varnish)
I was almost fooled in to thinking that you actually bought three cordless vacuums. The dogs are much better. You can’t pet your vacuum cleaner. Well, you could; but that would be strange. Your floor is beautiful.
Awwwww. You’re bringing back memories of our own Hoover Dog Model, which is no longer with us. Our current models don’t work nearly so well. They only vacuum up things that appear to be meat and leave a great deal of mud, fur, and other nasty
-ing things on the floor.
I finally found a way to use the humping bananas and somehow broke them. ‘Tis the story of my life.
Fixed. (Space, the final frontier)
You got me. I seriously thought you bought one of those things! Hey…I have three similar “models” myself!! At first, I thought they were eating cheerios. Mine will do just about anything for popcorn!! Great Video!
I’m waiting for the cordless dish washing fairy. Oh wait, that’s why I had kids.
I’ve got one of those… it’s about 15 years old and doesn’t move as fast as it used to, but it still gets the job done

ps…
if I wasn’t a renter I’m sure I’d have more
It told me “an error occurred try again later.”
I’ll be back.
SOOOO funny! I really got sucked in. Get it? Sucked in?
Haha, a vacuum and a wash.
Bentley’s tail was making me nervous.
yep, wandering in circles…. I recognize that pattern. Looks just like a roomba but more fun to pet. A bit different when they’re time to empty, too.
I know it will disturb you that I’m saying we’re alike in this way…BUT, your comment at my place today, was VERBATIM the words that flowed from my mouth…except for an occasional effing adjective to emphasized my point.
