Manley 34822 i Que Personal Robot Reviews :

I had to pick this up just BECAUSE of the other review here by "Larry." Anyone that would spend that much time to review I-que...well, it got me curious.

First off, after the obligatory "Charge at least 5 hours before first use" (I did overnight)..oh, and the communicator device will set you back 3 AAA batteries (not included); you proceed underneath to turn I-que from "Sleep" to "on". Prepare to chuckle...he really seems happy to come to life.

But warning here first--READ THE BOOK before you turn it on and get familiar with the communicator. I didn't do this except up to the "charge 5 hours" part and how to turn him on. I never looked at the communicator so I wasn't familiar with it. So here he's asking me questions and I have to ---oh bother...just read the book.

Otherwise--I'll admit, this is a new review but I'm quite impressed. I can see that you could literally spend hours and hours and days and days and weeks on end and never get to the end of what this thing has in memory.

The other reason this unit is intriguing is that it's unlike other "toy robots" that sing and dance and punch...kids want that stuff...they don't want to learn about how far the sun is from the earth...Things these days are different. So it certainly has the potential for the collector.

I do think it IS well made, fashioned like the I-Robot; Roomba and Scooba (I have both) and self-charges similar to the Roomba. Larry made a point about the charging terminals on the floor--the DC voltage is so low it is not dangerous--unless you place the charge base in a puddle.

I ordered all the cartridges (that collector instinct) and I think I-que has allot of potential...like Larry did, if I need to come back and add to the review I will...in the meantime I'd highly recommend, especially if yer' a gadget geek pushing 50 like me! (P.s. Shipping and packaging is outstanding: Good job Amazon!)...
