Stuff & Things: Roomba Review + Questions Answered
Several weeks ago, I caved and ordered a Roomba. I have a cat who was falsely advertised as a short hair only to have him explode into a full blown fluff ball three months after bringing him home. My husband's allergies loved that little magic trick. Keeping the apartment hair...
