It was with some wistfulness that we dismissed our faithful maidservant of thirty-five years. It was inevitable that technology would replace her. Such is the inexorable march of technological progress.

Sorry, mom! The Koolvac robotic vacuum from Koolatron will be cleaning the basement floor henceforth! It buzzes around on the low-pile carpet, hardwood, linoleum, tile, concrete, and other hard surfaces in with ease. Its high-tech sensors detect obstacles and would keep it from falling down stairs, if there were a sub-basement. It's compact enough to sweep the most acute corners, and it has an easy-to-empty reusable dust bin. No bags are required!

The Koolvac can run for up to an hour and a half on a single battery charge, and shuts itself off when its work is done.

In gratitude, however, for your years of dedicated service, we'll let you keep coming down here to use the washer and dryer, except during RPG campaigns.

(This policy will be subject to revision at such time as an affordable robot laundry servant is brought to market.)
