Were you thinking about getting a Roomba but got discouraged by some people's disappointment with it. Or, have you been let down by the brand iRobot, but still love the convenience of a robotic vacuum?
Samsung has finally premiered a Roomba alternative, the Stealth vacuum, which looks disarmingly similar to the Roomba (save for those swishy arms coming out of it, which could be a pet attractor), Akihabara News reports.
If Samsung's version can improve upon Roomba's concept — a robotic vacuum that cleans on its own — but say, improve functionality a bit and lower the price then I think it could be a great competitor. No news yet about how much the Stealth will cost or how it measures up to its predecessor, but I've got a particularly dirty hardwood floor that would be willing to test it out.

This is exciting! I hate to vacuum, so the idea of a robotic vacuum was very appealing to me. However, my ex works for iRobot, so I won't buy their products on principle (I know it's a bit juvenile, but he was a real jerk). Anyway, I'm excited to see how Samsung's version turns out.
1Geek - I have a Roomba and LOVE it! i have had it for months now and it cleans really well. i think it is lame that Samsung's version looks just about the same. I mean, can't they at least change the color? I got my Roomba on sale for $100 off, so it is even more worth it for me. I use it everyday in a different room and our place always feels clean.
2Hey geek, who has a Roomba and doesnt like it? I love mine too tdamji!
But then again I have hard wood floors throughout. Maybe that helps.
3I love Roomba, and it really isn't too bad if you buy from HSN on flexpay. They have lots of coupon codes, like 10% or more. Just google HSN coupons and you'll find them. But this is an interesting alternative to Roomba.
