Neato XV-11 robotic vacuum promo video is futuristicly matter-of-fact, and hilarious in a Jetsons retro way.

My friends have Roombas, and they look cool, but they aren't that smart.

There's something about this new Neato XV-11 that makes me feel: HOLY CRAP WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE. I also get a huge kick out of the low-fi production value. It feels like an SNL parody, only it's real!

Also, I can't get over the fact that it looks like a robot vacuum modeled after the Millenium Falcon.

Ha. pretty cool.

I have a roomba and I LOVE IT. Been meaning to blog about it for a while. Very impressed by how well it works, actually. It does all the crazy stuff like cleaning on a timer when i'm out, and retuning home when it's done. It's definitely creepy to see it go.

It doesn't have LASERS though.
