I got the mailer today and they have a deal on a Roomba which I'd love to have. Problem is my floor is littered with stuff. Backpacks, boots, tents, guns, targets, rockets, etc.

I should probably clear my floor so I could buy my own personal death robot.

It takes a bit but once you get it set up and in the habit of keeping stuff off the floor it's a great timesaver. You still have to do occasional vacuuming/cleaning and such, but it's great for maintenance cleaning. As a plus it motivates you to keep your floor clear of crap too!

I have been thinking of a Roomba type robovac too, do they navigate between rooms or do you gotta move them? Our LR is two steps down so would have to shunt it around a bit.

Any goon recommend models?

It depends. I liken them to a small child or a pet. It is magnetically attracted to stuff it shouldn’t be vacuuming up and if there is any chance it can reach a place it will get stuck, it will find it. They can wander a fairly long distance, but if there isn’t any easy way back to the charging station they might not find it.

If have one of the “dumb” models that essentially just covers a room randomly. There are supposedly smarter models that will try to keep a map of your rooms but I’m not convinced that would really be a benefit. It’s not so much a vacuum (the vacuum itself is tiny) as an automated roller brush. Best case is that you run it on the same area multiple times per week in which case it will keep it fairly clean.

Roomba specifically uses some kind of random pathing and bounces erratically around. The first time it runs might be frustrating, because it will leave some patches completely uncovered even while going over the same area multiple times. However, over the long term (as in it runs every day) it will cover just about everything. They deliberately programmed in some kind of random walk function, because all sorts of problems resulted when they tried having it plot the room it's in and map out obstacles.

So to answer your question, ours does a pretty good job covering four-five rooms of mixed hardwood/rug flooring, and often makes it all the way to the kitchen where it has to go through at least two "doorways" to get there. Depending on your floor layout you probably want to put it as close to center as you can, but it should do a decent job most of the time.

I highly recommend this. I took a trip to Portland from Kirkland, WA with my wife at the time in about 2007-2008 and it was great. At the time we couldn't find decent cheese curds at the local stores and it was really expensive. Well we stopped at the Tillamook factory (we planned it) and picked up super fresh cheese curds. They were squeaky which is the exact way you want them.

I'm from Wisconsin and Tillamook cheese is top notch. I'm spoiled here but Tillamook is still one of the best cheeses I've had.

I have never had good luck with Kirkland alcohol. The beer is so bad that my father in law who actually likes Ham's and Busch tried to give a nearly full case to me. The prosecco is also bad. I tried some Sangria once which sucked.

Costco does have some good wines, but they are from real vineyards and not Kirkland branded.

We're just desperate to be know for something other than subsidizing empty Foxconn facilities.

Also I've been desperate to find a good precooked rice to go with the curry packets I eat at work and sure as poo poo, Costco has me covered. The VeeTee basmati rice is really quite good.

It is terrible, but nothing that cheap will be good. Still fine if you don't give a poo poo about the taste and just want beer.

It’s not Kirkland brand now that I recall, it’s something called Simply Purrfect that kinda sucks.

Simply Purrfect sucks. I tried pretty much everything and the best one I have found is “worlds best cat litter”. It’s a bit more spendy but it is drat effective at keeping smells down.
