Rob and Big: Meaty Vs. Roomba
I brought out the closet Rob and Big fans last time I posted a clip of the hilarious besties calling out a blogger, so I know you guys will love this! Meaty, the cutest white bulldog EVER, got a little territorial this week with a brand-new Roomba.
Pups freaking out on a vacuum is no surprise to petsugar, and gigglesugar has long recognized an animal's reaction to a strange cleaning robot as fodder, but I kind of cringed seeing that poor Roomba being destroyed!
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."

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. 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.
