In an amazing bit of promotion for iRobot (the company, not the travesty), one of the new Roomba Discoveries has written a comparison review for San Diego Source, putting an Electrolux Trilobite and columnist Phil Baker in an head-to-head deathmatch to answer the home automation question of our time: Can an $1,800 euro-robot clean floors more effectively than a technology columnist? Surprisingly, while Phil Baker is almost $1,500 cheaper than the Trilobite (at $250), his performance stands up fairly compared to the more expensive model, although he does have a tendency to leak some dust out of his waste pan when picked up. Score one for the journos!
