Finally! Robot Vacuum Cleaners Are Now A Thing At An Affordable Price

Lame jokes aside vacuum cleaners aren't exactly anyone's idea of a good time. Pets hate them, we hate them, but what other option do we have?

It takes a special kind of person to actually enjoy vacuuming the house. To each their own, agreed, but there are precisely eleventy hundred and sixty three…hundred things (using Jacob Zuma maths) that I would rather be doing with my time than listening to the deafening roar of the machine while bumping sofas and chairs out of place.

Must we really, in this day and age, endure such horrors? No, because technology is here to save the day and we want to high five the hell out of whoever designed this ingenious gadget. The Robot Vacuum Cleaner (R1 499, was R2 500) will pick up dirt, debris, pet hair and dust from carpets, wooden floors, marble floors and nylon flooring and doesn’t require you to bust your back while doing so.

Take that evils of housekeeping, next a robot that goes to work on Mondays in my place please.

With all that free time around the house you could always crack on with the DIY tasks you’ve been putting off for ages. Mixing technology and DIY like a cross between Bob the Builder and Robocop, the Laser Level Tool (R199, down 33%) projects a vertical laser beam for precision cutting, measuring and building. With three level bubbles on top and a tape measure of 250cm, the laser level makes hanging shelves and cabinets a cinch.
