How much time and money will a Roomba robot vacuum save you?

Smart vacuums are all the rage these days, and it makes perfect sense why. Besides some of the crazy Prime Day robot vacuum deals that were live this year, they have a lot to offer. For instance, they have their own charging dock that they will leave, and return to, automatically without you interfering. How awesome is that?

Of course, the pressing question is how much time and money Roomba robot vacs, and other smart vacuums, actually save you? Are they worth the cost, and do they really save any time? How much maintenance and care will you have to mete out?

How Much Time and Money Will a Roomba Robot Vacuum REALLY Save You?

Take a moment to think about how often you sweep or vacuum the floors in your home? Do you do it for a couple of hours every day? Weekly? Or, do you just wait and spend an entire day of cleaning on one of your days off? Now, imagine if you could recover ALL of that time, to spend with your kids, or invest back in yourself. How much free time would you gain?

Smart vacuums, like a Roomba Robot Vacuum, offer precisely that. How? Well, they offer a few benefits that allow you to recover your time.

First, they operate from a charging dock, and you can schedule them to clean every day, on their own. They’ll leave the dock at the chosen time, navigate around your home and clean your floors. When their battery is low, or when their dustbin is full, they will return to the dock. The only thing you have to remember is to empty the dustbin before its next scheduled cleaning time.

Every once in a while, they might get stuck on a ledge or caught on some furniture, but most smart vacuums are equipped with intelligent navigation systems to avoid that sort of thing. iRobot’s vacuums are often Wi-Fi-compatible, which means you can connect to them using your smartphone. You can change settings, configure schedules, create boundaries, and much more. Most importantly, you can control the device remotely, even when you’re not home.

The iRobot Roomba e6 is Wi-Fi-connected and that means it can be controlled from a smartphone app. It will run, and clean, for up to 90 minutes at a time before it needs to return to its charging dock, which is included. The system is equipped with multiple sensors, like dirt sensors, to ensure it’s truly cleaning the floor and picking up debris. Adaptive navigation allows it to move freely about your home without bumping into things or getting stuck. You can also connect with Google Assistant or Alexa to give it voice commands. Normally $350, Walmart is currently offering the Roomba e6 Wi-Fi-Connected Robot Vacuum for $50 off. You’re getting it for $300 with free two-day shipping.

On the anniversary of “Dr. No,” here is every EON Bond movie ranked
James Bond at a casino

International James Bond Day is here, and we have been putting all our time and focus into honoring our favorite double-0 with multiple launches, a watch and a book, his best looks, and a ranking of the men who have portrayed 007 across the last sixty years. Today, on the anniversary of Dr. No (the first mission to hit the theaters), we look back at all 25 films under the EON banner (no parodies or spin-offs here) and give you our definitive ranking of every 007 adventure. Some will surprise you, some will not. But all of these are a good time.

Apart from the fact that he wears the same clothes that I wear, he and I really have little in common. I do rather envy him his blondes and his efficiency, but I can’t say I much like the chap. – Ian Fleming

Happy International James Bond Day! Every James Bond actor, ranked from worst to best
Sean Connery as James Bond.

If you didn’t know already, it is International James Bond Day. What does that mean? It means that today is the day we celebrate our favorite 007 agent, our most beloved member of MI6, or undeniably stylish fashion inspiration. Why is it October 5th? I am glad you asked. On this day in 1962, Sean Connery donned the suit and tie, grabbed the Walther PPK, and uttered for the first time the iconic line, “Bond, James Bond.”

Now, if you know me, you know that this is a day I always look forward to. There are always launches, celebrations, and announcements to look forward to. If Batman Day is my Christmas, this is my Super Bowl. And, since I now have an inarguable reason to talk all things James Bond, I felt it was time that I dropped a ranking of all the men who portrayed the character, and I expect you to argue with me until your dying breath. Over martinis, of course, shaken…not stirred.

Face, Head, Person

It is International James Bond Day. And that means that I, and all the other James Bond fanatics, are scouring the internet for announcements, articles, and anything else we can find to quench our thirst for our favorite 007. And today, on the anniversary of the release of the very first James Bond adventure on the big screen, Dr. No, we get the news that Ian Fleming Publications has tapped Dan Jones to pen a new adventure perfect for today’s world. Just in time to celebrate James Bond Day, the National Year of Reading, and the Go All In initiative, the new novella, All In, will drop on December 3rd, the 70th anniversary of Fleming’s fourth novel, Diamonds Are Forever.

We knew we wanted to create a book to celebrate the National Year of Reading, a subject that is vitally important to us, and we knew we wanted to celebrate the anniversary of Diamonds are Forever. It was Dan who pulled it all together, conjuring the perfect 007 adventure, full of intrigue, danger, glamour and some surprise cameos. It is a beautiful, classic story, one that will thrill our fans, delight Dan’s loyal subjects and appeal to new readers this Christmas period. – Simon Ward, Publishing Director
