What is the best Gadget you have ever purchased

AUTailgatingRules · « **on:** June 04, 2009, 05:53:10 PM »

As I sit here and drink my MGD 64 I am also vacuuming the hardwood floors throughout the entire house. I bought a Roomba about a year ago, and with 4 pets roaming the house, it has to be the best investment I have made in a while. I just turn the little fucker on and it vacuums every corner of the main living areas of my house. Sure does come in handy when I want to play golf and can tell my wife that the house is being cleaned while I'm on the course.

Definate 5* purchase if you are interested.

Hate to disagree with you here, but our Roomba blows monkey nuts. We got it as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. It worked okay for the first week or so, and after that, it would stop after about 2 minutes and say "Please remove and clean Roomba's brushes!"

I'd remove and clean Roomba's brushes. Set it back down, and let it go. Not 30 seconds later...

"Please remove and clean Roomba's brushes!"

I'd do it again. Set it back down, and 30 seconds later...

"Please remove and clean Roomba's brushes!"

I JUST REMOVED AND CLEANED YOUR FUCKING BRUSHES! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

It's been collecting dust in a closet ever since.

I had a problem with my first one losing suction (after about 8 months) and took it back to Bed Bath and Beyond and they gave me a new one. I told them that I had lost the receipt and they still gave me a new one. I suggest you go this route, because you may have a defective robot.

You may want to try this route.

I can think of one gadget I can't live without, but I doubt it would interest y'all except in its application...

As for other gadgets? Maybe the thingy that lets me play my iPod through the car audio system. Other than that, um, well... let me get back to you...

Just remember, people who say there are no such thing as killer robots may be robots themselves.

Yet another gadget that makes it easier to play golf. Nothing like something that will take care of business while I'm on the course.

I do have to give props to the guy that invented TIVO. Not sure how we lived without it

Ps3/Blu-Ray Player, the picture and sound quality is amazing. Dvr, I cant live without.

Agreed.

PS3: well worth the purchase.
DVR/TIVO: I don't know how I ever watched TV w/out it!

The best gadget I own is my iPhone, hands down. I don't know how I lived without it.

My Blackberry Storm is pretty kick ass. It's not the iPhone, but apps are coming out almost daily now and I haven't found anything yet I'd prefer to do by phone that I can't do with it. Fax, games, document editing, GPS functional apps... Browser is good, and there's a new one coming out soon that will finally allow flash video...

The clicking keyboard is ten times better than the iPhone's touch keyboard from what I've played with... Also if the battery has an issue (which I haven't had an issue yet), I can freaking get one...haha...

If he'd quit shaving his pubic hair all over the house they wouldn't have that problem.

seconded and my Apple TV

Well, not sure it's a "gadget", but my current vehicle has a center console deep enough to hide my beer in if I get stopped by the cops.

I would say TIVO. I purchased one of the first ones back in 2000-2001. Sadly though, I've been without for about 3 years now...that's the only downside, now I've gotta watch commercials.
