Our Home's Best Friend

Meet our new beloved robotic best friend:

We have a name for her. it's Livi. 

Initially I proposed the name to be Vivi. you know, Vivi the Vacuum. 

but Ayra kept on pronouncing Livi instead of Vivi. in the end, Livi it is.

so, Livi is a breed of Neato. coming from the species of Vacuum cleaner. but upgraded species, a robotic one that is. which makes her super duper cool.

I decided to buy her one fine day, after many many thinking and googling. 

Googling for the best brand and most efficient one in the market of robotic vaccums.

there are many many robotic vacuums in the market. a lot! from the cheap ones to the most expensive ones. I have to look at many aspects before deciding that Livi the Neato Robotic Vaccum should be ours.

I had to invest in one. Reason: i'd go crazy looking at all the hairs on the floor, despite us cleaning or vacuuming after it in the morning. my hair is falling off like rain. im suprised i'm not bold! and we are super duper tired!

and the dust. when the hairs are there, they eventually gather together and collect dusts. 

dusts of all looks and shapes. this did not only hurt my eyes, but it causes our eczema and asthma to worsen. 

another reason is i pitied Mr Hub for doing a lot of house chores. he and i are alike. we hate dust. or hair. or anything messy. we cannot help but kemas. and most of all these ' hard work' thingie will be done by him. i am grateful for this man. 

so, for our 5th wedding anni, i decided to get him..er..US, a robotic vacuum! 

and our luck, there was a special sale on Neato. only in that one week period. and we managed to grab it on the last day of the sale. fuhhhh. managed to save almost RM1k. 

it is worth the high price.

we no longer crack our back pushing and pulling the big vaccum whenever we see irritants on the floor. we just click on Livi. and there she goes.

Neato has a different specifications from other brands. 

why i chose Neato is that it can SCAN the room before proceeding to work. 

by scanning, it will vacuum the spaces in random motion, not on straight line like others.

therefore, no bumping into wall, or chairs or tables. it avoids, or lalu tepi.

another reason, we could put it on schedule. say, every Monday, Wednesay and Friday, Livi will go to work at 10am. or 11am. or whichever time we want her to work. that way, when we got home, house is clean. happy!!

and she has a home. a home she could come home to when she's tired, or she's done. she's tired when her battery is running low and it affects her cleaning efficiency. she would go back to her house, take a nap by recharging her battery, wake up from her nap and pick up where she last worked on. 

smart! that way, doesnt matter how and when, she'll finish the job by the time we got home.

she knows how to go back home on her own. so no need to wait for us to bring her there.

she will tell you from her messages on her condition. let say, her brush is stuck on the bulu2 tepi karpet, she will come out with a beep noise and show us a note on her screen.

we just untanggle her, and she resumes. 

before leaving work, we will angkat siap2 all the carpets and potential things that might make her stuck. it's not really that difficult.

so far, she has been with for a month. and we are very2 happy. our weekends are more free. we are more relaxed. and Mr Hub is happy happy happy.

we can concentrate on other things like lipat baju and playing with the children.

Amna is scared of her though. ;) i think she thinks Livi is alive.

Now, if only there's a robotic cloth folder.
