NEW - iRobot Roomba 418 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Bundle

Wow, This is a funny story. Worth the 30 seconds to read it.

Troubled custodial star iRobot Roomba 415 was arrested here last night for public indecency, lewd conduct, and nicotine possession. Around 6 pm, police received several calls that the robotic vacuum was approaching patrons outside a Vero Beach appliance store, buzzing obscenities and exposing its cleaning brush in a suggestive manner.

“We believe the suspect was upset by a window display of TRXE-3000 maid-borgs,” said Vero Beach police Sgt. Dyson Hoover. “Drug or alcohol intake does not appear to be a factor. But then, the suspect doesn’t have blood or urine, so who knows?”

Once hailed for its Active Dirt Response cleaning system and low-profile design, iRobot Roomba 415 was one of the early robotic vacuum cleaners who revolutionized floor care in the early 2000’s. But as newer models crowded it out of the spotlight, iRobot Roomba 415 showed its frustration in a series of highly public incidents, including a 2009 brawl in a nightclub with then-wife Tara Reid and a 2011 bust while trying to buy illicit Colombian cleaning fluid.

An attempted 2012 comeback tour with Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse (dubbed “Clean and Sober – And Rocking!”) was abruptly cancelled just three dates into the tour. After creating a furor in Bangkok by telling the Thai press he was “bigger than Buddha”, iRobot Roomba 415 emptied its debris bin on a portrait of the King of Thailand onstage, then refused to vacuum it up.

The rise of Jetsons-inspired maid-borgs reduced iRobot Roomba 415 to eking out a meagre living with public appearances at vacuum-cleaner fan conventions and occasional roles in straight-to-video thrillers like Vacuumed Alive! and Don’t Go Near The Stairs.

“I regret my behavior in Vero Beach, and I ask for the forgiveness of my friends, my family, and most of all, my fans,” the wayward vacuum said in a prepared statement. “I look forward to returning to what I love to do best: cleaning the floors of my fans in the classic old-school style. Much love.”

At press time, no iRobot Roomba 415 fans had been located for comment.
