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

By

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.

15 movies every man should watch as often as possible
Movies that will teach you to be a man and entertain you at the same time
Person, Sitting, Adult

Everyone loves a good movie night. Whether you like to get dressed and head to the theater so you can justify the biggest bucket of popcorn and soda you can find for something new, or you are the kind of guy who likes to lie out on the couch for an old faithful, we all love to sit down and allow escapism to take us somewhere more digestible than the real world. Some movies are meant to inspire; others are meant to frighten. There are good bang, bang, shoot 'em ups, roaring comedies, and everything in between. However, movies are also the best teaching tools if you know how to pull the right themes and ideas while watching. Now, this doesn't mean you can get all you need to know from movies, but they are a great jumping-off point for learning some style, solving problems, or navigating adversity. This isn't like every other movie ranking; this one has a specific purpose.

There are thousands of movies in every category below to choose from, and curating your own go-to list will help you elevate your life on your own terms, but here are 15 movies every man should watch soon and often.

Remembering Sam Neill and the two times he changed Hollywood
The legendary actor changed Hollywood first by NOT being in a movie, then again by being in a movie.
Face, Happy, Head

We lost a legend yesterday. On July 13th, I was standing on the plains of Africa on safari when I got a Google alert (yes, my service worked all the way out among the Big Five). One of my favorites from my childhood passed away. Dr. Alan Grant, the man who introduced me to dinosaurs when I was a child, had passed away suddenly. Today, it was reported that he died from pneumonia due to having a compromised immune system after years of fighting a type of blood cancer. I don't know why it hit me so hard. Maybe because it was a piece of my childhood stripped from me. Maybe we're all still trying to recapture the wonders of our world that he so expertly presented as thrilling entertainment. Whatever the reason, I have been thinking about it ever since. I even watched Jurassic Park on the flight back (thank you, Delta Airlines for having it available since every streaming service out there has pulled it now in favor of rent service). That is when I started thinking about his career. From Jurassic Park and Merlin to Peaky Blinders and Event Horizon, here are two times Sam Neill changed Hollywood. Once with his presence and once with his absence.

He was almost 007

What to expect at the Scottish Open — without looking too far ahead with The Open around the corner
The Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club, just outside of Edinburgh.
Field, Nature, Outdoors

The Genesis Scottish Open is here. It feels like a major tournament. Keyword, feels. The actual major tournament, The Open, golf's oldest tournament, is scheduled next week. But the field in Scotland is not treating the Scottish Open like a tune-up to The Open. If nothing else, the field at the Renaissance Club is excited about the mix of players scheduled to hit the links.

While, yes, PGA Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected this weekend, fans should also expect to see, yes, LIV Tour players. That's because the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA and European Tours. So, while the PGA Tour banned players who defected to play with LIV some four years ago, the European Tour has allowed them to play at its events.
