This is year 2009. Where’s my flying car, jetpack and my personal robot?

Flying car — sorry. Jetpack — nope. Personal Robot — check! And it’s called the Roomba! Seriously this is the closest you could get to an affordable personal robot today that actually does something useful.
I recently purchased the Roomba 535. Being my first Roomba, I wasn’t sure what to expect. When the Roomba actually arrived I was even more skeptical. This thing looked puny compared to conventional vacuum cleaners.
I charged it, and set it loose. I was pleasantly surprised! This is an amazing device! Not just from a vacuuming perspective, but from a geek’s perspective as well. I’ve built robots myself and could relate to how it worked internally and it was absolutely fascinating!
Here’s a review as a first time owner and an electronics/software enthusiast.
