A Letter to the Victorian Child about A Vacuum for the Modern Age

Dear, dear child,

I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits. I must say, I am excited to share with you a new invention that has taken the world by storm — the Roomba!

Now, I know what you might be thinking — “What in blazes is a Roomba, uncle?” Let me tell you; it’s a marvelous suitable machine that will have you saying “Cor blimey!” in no time.

Enter the Roomba. This little gadget is like a tiny, robotic servant that does all the cleaning for you. It’s about the size of a small dog and moves around your home on its own, sucking up dirt and debris as it goes. It’s bloody brilliant, I tell you. It is a small, circular robot that can clean your floors without you having to lift a finger!

Can you imagine that, dear child? No more scrubbing and sweeping for hours, no more sore knees from crouching down to clean those pesky stains. The Roomba does it all for you!

But it’s not just any ordinary cleaning machine, oh no. This little blighter has sensors and technology that allow it to navigate your home, avoiding obstacles and cleaning every nook and cranny. It even can return to its docking station to charge up when it’s running low on juice.

Ah, my dear reader, I do understand your concern. You may be thinking, “But does not using a Roomba take away from the enjoyment of cleaning one’s home?” To which I say, fear not! I assure you that using a Roomba can be a delightful experience. Observe as it scurries about your abode, gathering up dirt and grime. It is like a playful game of predator and prey, with the Roomba serving as the cunning hunter and the dirt serving as the elusive prey. Do not hesitate to give it a try and see for yourself.

But don’t take my word for it, dear child. Try it out for yourself and see how much fun cleaning can be. And think, with all the time you’ll save not having to scrub and sweep, you’ll have plenty of time for other activities — like reading, playing games, or getting into mischief (just don’t let your parents catch you).

Now, I am aware of your concerns — “What if the Roomba picks up an object it should not, such as a plaything or a hosiery?” Have no fear, esteemed gentleman or lady! The Roomba has been crafted with sufficient intelligence to evade the suction of inappropriate objects. It possesses a “brush roll” which aids in the gathering of dirt and detritus, and if it encounters something it ought not pick up, it will simply halt and turn in the opposite direction.

But Strawberry, is not a Roomba costly?” My dear child, indeed it may be. These wondrous machines do not come cheaply, but I assure you, they are worth every shilling. Just consider all the time and labor you will save in the long term. And who can say, perhaps you will even be able to persuade your parents to share the expense with you.

So there you have it, dear child. A Roomba is a small, circular robot that will have you saying “Cor blimey!” in no time with its ability to clean your floors without you having to lift a finger. It’s equipped with sensors and technology that allow it to navigate your home and avoid obstacles, and it even can return to its docking station to charge up when it’s running low on juice.

I hope this letter has helped clear things up and that you’ll consider trying the Roomba. I assure you, it will revolutionize the way you clean your home.

Until next time,
