Pink Lady (Papago)

Too busy to sweep the floor, I've recently picked up a simple gadget to help me with household chores. Introducing the Pink Lady Automated Robot Vacuum cleaner. It's simple in design and pretty cost effective. Comparable in size to a frisbee, the Pink Lady is light and can be easily stored.  


The concept is as simple as a toy which turns in the other direction when it hits something. What is added is the vacuum and strong batteries. 
  


Opening the box reveals that environmental friendly reduced packaging has been designed. The components of the device can be seen once the box is opened.

Accessories are simple enough and easy installation is the key to simplicity. This thing can be set up within minutes without even reading the user manual! Or maybe I'm just smart ^_^.
 

 


Didn't forget to remove the top and install the dust collection box. The battery can also be installed with a few easy steps.
 

 


Pulling off the two black protective covers on the device, it can be replaced with the cleaning whiskers. Technically speaking, I would suggest the company to not include the protective covers as once taken off, there's no further use. Money and resources can be saved by not manufacturing and putting on the covers. Still, KEEP IT SIMPLE is the key!
 


The dust and hair absorption magic cloth can be enabled onto the back side of the device. Pushing the cloth into the established crevices on the back plane is sufficient to keep the cloth on.
 

 

Walah...Simple as cake. After putting the top cover on, I'm ready to go!
 


Pretty effective I can say. Now I can do my other stuff like writing this post while the Pink Lady is cleaning for me. Pretty surprised what this baby can pick up. A journey to under the bed is sure helpful. Some lost items may turn up into the dust collection box.

Almost forgot! Like any other electronic device, have to charge it 4~6 hours before the first time of use. Most of these stuff are built overseas, and shipment does not allow the battery to be fully charged. Batteries of new devices are usually only half or less than half full.


Ok, this saves me some sweeping time. Now I gotta find something that helps me mop the floor. The wife or kids may just do fine before they come out with a robot!
