It's not a vacuum, it's a sweeper. It says Sweep on top.

It's not a vacuum, it's a "sweeper". It's supposed to have a CLOTH on the bottom to at least pick up a little lint. Still shite tho
Captainplanetmotherfucker
You're meant to tape something to the bottom and it picks up dust. It works by bashing into things.

I turned one of these into a DJ roomba that has a bluetooth module + speaker built in.

My mom got scammed by a Facebook ad recently. We had to have a long talk about her safety on the internet. Oh how the turntables...

Crap sold on facebook seems to always be a scam even if there is no reason the product and price shouldn't be legit.

To be fair...it does say Sweep, not Vacuum. You could duct tape some swiffer pads on there and it’d keep the hard floors clean.

My dad bought this. It comes with really bad sweeping pads
tildesarecool
it does say "sweep" on it. doesn't look like it sweeps either. but it doesn't necessarily mean it ever claimed to vacuum.

It just roams the house aimlessly searching for meaning.

Sweep. It's on the top in the first picture.

Just tape some swiffer cleaning cloths to the bottom.
licmasack
.. or you could tie it to the cat - and drag it across the floor as a dust mop
Frenchgeek
Got a friend who had a roomba-clone that used that as a gimmick. Managed to be almost as effective as this one, but for €1500.
xSquirrelly
Thats actually what this is. It's meant to sweep by attaching a cleaner cloth to the bottom.

It actually says on the description "Universal driving, sweeping the floor (no need for dust absorbing paper)

This. My SIL won’t shop anywhere else other than eBay and always buys open, used, off brand versions of what you ask for.

And no, it’s not a $$$ issue. If you ask for dvds, she opens them and watches them first and then wraps them up. She’s just weird.

Yeah... I kinda stopped caring much about Christmas presents because of this.. I just get cash now

It's taken my most of my adult life, but I finally have gotten my family to stop involving me in gift exchanges
MutantTurd
Thats why I ask for gift cards. I know what I want AND I know how to wait for sales. Just gimme the money and let me please myself... wait.
Pafolo
I ask for cash. I can use it any time, anywhere. Not locked to one store. Most of the time I get gifts I don’t want, didn’t need, won’t use.
DocJungleRot
I agree. I have the same fight every year with my mother "gifts cards are too impersonal." I already buy what I want. I need nothing.
BattleWizard
I wish I could teach that to my mother. I'm a programmer & don't want her to buy me tech stuff. But she knows I like tech stuff. So she does
woodjoiner
Remind her that Gift cards are a thing.
LocalZoophile
I don't understand why people refuse to gift shop *with the gift recipient*. Is the surprise really worth it?
BennyJ89
My parents did that for Christmas one year. Mom takes the wife and sisters shopping and everyone gets what they want
ValenceBond
Generously, some of my adult friends were surprised to learn those are a thing and some consider it rude to include a price tag with a gift.
LocalZoophile
Hmm... Seems backward to me. I'd say "What's your price range?" and get a gift to match. The effort put into finding a gift at that price
LocalZoophile
is the real gift.
Thatburga
Someone walking me around to buy me something? Nah, I'm good. I work and I'll get it myself if I want it.
LocalZoophile
I it works much better with online shopping, but yeah, pretty much.
Elmarrr
Well I mean it's really nice of her to remember what you like and do something with it.
YurgenGrimwood
I do not consider it "nice" for my mom to remember my main interest. Making an effort in the gift buying is cute though.
Scezumin
"Nice" would be to not only remember, but put the effort in so that you get a functioning gift, not an expensive but empty gesture.

My wife will buy me over priced gifts that do way less than the bargain I was looking at. I told her to consult with my mistress next time.

It’s all about the reviews. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Other times things are just over priced and there are cheaper equivalents

It's as simple as googling "best X reddit" and checking crowd sourced information on things from their dedicated subreddit. Takes 5 minutes.

I have a variant. I also search x problems forum or ex repairs forum. You can substitute Reddit for forum too. The results will help.

"Maybe, but Susan on Facebook says this one is better."

Dammit Susan!
JewishMonk
Serious question. Why is reddit a million times easier to get purchasing information from than consumer guides? That's their only purpose!
MaryGoRound12
The amount of times I have seen shitty recommendations on “best x 2020” lists is astounding, but I’m speaking mainly about beauty products
MaryGoRound12
I think some tech lists out their are really committed to the research. But there are rarely cheaper alternatives that actually perform well
PoppinLochNessHopster
+ those sites are paid to promote certain products in many cases.

① You're daft if you think Reddit isn't just as much. Native advertising has really exploded in recent years.
10sky
② At least with a guide there is some accountability with claims made.
JewishMonk
Sure, but I can look at a user's post history if I suspect they're not a real person.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Potentially Bias and info from only 1 source/person. On reddit the dumb shit gets downvoted and the good shit goes up. Lots of sources.
JewishMonk
Oh! And Reddit doesn't do carousel websites. The carousel is a plague on web design.
