Any pet parent will tell you having the right vacuum is crucial for keeping your home clean and fur free, which is why we are thrilled our friends at iRobot are giving one lucky PetSugar reader an iRobot Roomba® 532 Pet Series!

The iRobot is a vacuum cleaning robot, which can pick up pet hair, pet dander, kitty litter and usual debris on its own. You don't have to waste time pushing it around, you just have to push "clean" and watch it do its magic.

The iRobot By Roomba Goes Red

When I compared the Roomba to the Dyson Slim (if you haven't seen the fun video, click on the link), I described the Roomba as a "geeky guy magnet gadget that's cleverly disguised as a vacuum."

When I compared the Roomba to the Dyson Slim (if you haven't seen the fun video, click on the link), I described the Roomba as a "geeky guy magnet gadget that's cleverly disguised as a vacuum." Seriously, girls may swoon to the Dyson, but guys seem to be pulled by gravity to the Roomba. Well gravity has definitely shifted ever since the iRobot got a hot new makeover! What I suggest is you use the fantabulous Dyson for thorough carpet cleaning sessions and then bust out the red Roomba for quick touch-ups. Just turn it on and head out for an afternoon filled with lattés and shopping. The Roomba Red will clean all your surfaces while the supersensitive bumpers help the vacuum feel its way around the room. All you have to do is charge up the battery and leave the iRobot alone to do all your dirty work. Priced at $150.

Battle Of The Vacuums: Roomba Vs Dyson Slim

Battle Of The Vacuums: Roomba Vs Dyson Slim

A Dyson vacuum is one of those gadgets that elicits an "ohhhhh" and an "awwwww" from everyone that walks by it.

A Dyson vacuum is one of those gadgets that elicits an "ohhhhh" and an "awwwww" from everyone that walks by it. Or at least everyone that's walked by geeksugar central in the last week. I attribute the giddy Dyson adulation to the British company's hoity-toity reputation (they make a jaw-dropping $2,000 model), the assertion that Dyson is the "first vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction" and the fact that for a vacuum, it's ridiculously good looking.

It frankly isn't fair to compare the Dyson Slim, which is only 15.8 pounds, to my clunky vacuum at home because the Dyson is designed with art and innovation in mind. So, in the spirit of cleaning fun, I decided I should pit the lady killer against an even more unlikely candidate, the iRobot Roomba. For those of you that don't know, I describe the Roomba as a "geeky guy magnet gadget that's cleverly disguised as a vacuum." Seriously, girls may swoon to the Dyson, but guys seem to be pulled by gravity to the Roomba. So how did the sexy, feminine Dyson compare to the more masculine robotic Roomba? Be prepared to be impressed all around.

iRobot: Pool Cleaning Robot To The Rescue

I live in San Francisco, where only 1 in 100,000 people has a pool and most of us get our splash time out of the area or at a spa.

I live in San Francisco, where only 1 in 100,000 people has a pool and most of us get our splash time out of the area or at a spa. Still, I love the idea of a pool robot more than I can verbalize.

The iRobot can clean your pool from floor to waterline in about an hour with the touch of a button. Apparently, roller brushes scrub pool surfaces while a powerful vacuum and self-contained filtration system pick up and trap dirt and debris plus algae, bacteria and debris as small as 2 microns. It even reduces run time of your pool's filtration system and improves distribution of chemicals and temperature. It costs $1199.99.
