Woot has a nice Dyson Vacuum for 290. That's a steal compared to retail. Thought I would share as some people here might be interested and it is one of the best deals i've seen on there yet.

[Freak Out]

Why am I just hearing about this place? Have you bought anything from Woot Partial?

I bought the vacuum on Friday when he posted it. It arrived today. In perfect shape and seems to work fine. I paid 295 including shipping. Target sells the same model for $499., and the lower end model was $379 at Walmart. (And, yes, I'm that anal that I did check)

i only got a 6 month warranty, but hey, if it works for 6 months, it OUGHT to be ok, I'd think.

I'm happy, and so is my wife. Who'd of thunk it? She is absolutely DELIGHTED that it was MY idea and she didn't have to suggest it...

I swear, I will NEVER understand women. NEVER. :P

I haven't but a friend of mine does often. I will when I have a house paid off and some spare money as most of it is pricey.

I go to steepandcheap.com a lot and buy camping outdorsy stuff there. There are some really good deals. They do multiple items per day unlike Woot (unless its a woot-off).

The Dysons are sweet. If you have a pet, get one.

RG, glad you quietly got in on this. Your family will love it. I got Anna one as a birthday gift last year since she is very allergic to animals and her roomate had a cat. She didn't have any problems at all.

What is sad is my buddy can get them for 199 from Linens and Things are a manager. They must be making a killing on them.

Woot has compettive prices w/ new egg and the cheapest prices you'll find online. It is the $5 shipping that is so awesome. Plus, in the 5 dollar random bags of crap once, they gave away plasma screens.

That's right, people got a 50" plasma for 10 bucks total. 5 for the "bag of crap", 5 for shipping.

It's two for Tuesday today on Woot and it seems like a pretty cool buy. I am a nerd granted, but these look fun. Someday, someday.

Woot has a woot-off today. Every time an item sells out, they put up a new item. They have some unbelievably good deals today.

I bought the microsoft MP3 player last week for 99 bucks. That was an amazing deal. Works like a charm. Better than my old, broken iPod ever did.

I bought the microsoft MP3 player last week for 99 bucks. That was an amazing deal. Works like a charm. Better than my old, broken iPod ever did.

Once upon a time, wootie-pies, there was a handsome young man who came upon an iRobot Roomba Discovery SE 4220. The iRobot Roomba Discovery SE 4220 could sense and find dirt, provide up to 120 minutes of cleaning power, recharge in three hours and was smarter than any regular vacuum, yet was lying there, unable to move. The young man looked down, and saw that the iRobot Roomba Discovery SE 4220 was caught on a piece of a pizza box that was smeared with peanut butter and cat hair. The young man clicked his tongue with pity and helped the poor Roomba free. It did not say thank you or look back, it merely rolled on, cleaning the forest and heading toward the recharge station it called home. The young man went along his own path as well.

Years went by, and the young man was now old, and had also somehow been captured by bandits! The bandits threw the old young man into a pit full of sharp sticks and poorly stuffed bean bags. They yelled from above and threw inexpensive cheese at his face, as bandits often do. From deep in the dark corner of the pit, the old young man heard a rumbling of stair-sensing technology coming to lif, and he trembled as it began moving through the Virtual Walls that kept it in check, growing closer and closer to him…

It was the iRobot Roomba Discovery SE 4220 he had rescued all those years ago! Surely, he thought to himself, surely it will repay my kindness today! But no, my friends, the iRobot Roomba Discovery SE 4220 simply rolled over him without remorse, pity, or any spark of good intentions whatsoever, as though he were just another dust bunny. And that brings us to our moral, wootie-pies. For now you understand why all of nature abhors a vacuum.

I just bought one....my whole house (upstairs at least) is hardwood so I always wanted one of these. Sweet!

May it suck better than my old hand-me-down Roomba (that was given to me right after I bought a new vacuum). I have more fur 'round here than the little guy can deal with, but it does pick up the dust, etc.

[Partial]

From what I hear if you have Animals the Roomba doesn't work very well. A better option would be RG's Dyson. They work great for pet hair.

[MJZiggy]

I'd have loved a Dyson but you started this thread right AFTER I bought my new vacuum. Actually, I can't complain, though. The thing picks up great, has a rotating head so I can vacuum under the couch without moving it, and is light enough to carry up and down stairs.

[Freak Out]

After my last dog (Buford :hrt: ) made the trip to the happy hunting grounds I have not had a pet so the Roomba was a good option for my home. Only dust bunnies.

Damnit. I missed the 1 dollar bag of crap. To end the wootoff, they do a "random bag of crap". Last time, it contained plasma TVs. That's right. 1000 people got a 6 dollar plasma tv.

Woot is cool if you live in the lower 48. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii you have to have them ship it somewhere else. I have family in Portland Oregon and I travel a bunch so I pick my stuff at my sisters house but it is still a pain.

BTW....the Roomba I bought went berserk and had to be returned...luckily the company is going to send me another. Well.....Luckily?

I am the Yak herd.

No, I bought three because
1) I thought I might give at least one of them away,
2) I read a little about them prior to completing the purchase, and I guess they tend to be only marginally reliable. It won't hurt to have another as a backup or for parts,
and mainly 3) at the time of purchase, I got caught up in the consumerism of it all and had to maximize the value of what seemed like such a GREAT DEAL! :oops: :lol:
In hindsight, one would have been plenty.
I still plan on giving one to my parents, though. I think they'll get a kick out of it.

I thought the price on the VAIO was pretty good for everything that came with it. I just don't need a computer at the moment.

[Partial]

When looking at the 300 dollar TV tuner, I guess it was a deal that I should have jumped on. That thing goes for 300 alone in addition to the computer going for 1500 on eBay. At the very least it could have been a quick 500 dollars.

That same computer without the tuner was $300 more everywhere else.

Smells like a woot-off tonight.

Bah. This same system can be had just about anywhere, but without the Sony name.

I'm looking for something in this range without the onboard Intel vid card. For some reason, every laptop with an ATI or nVidia card goes up $300+ even though the cards retail for $150. I guess its $150+ to integrate it onto a laptop MB.

[Partial]

I was wrong about the woot-off. It is probably coming tonight or tomorrow, though. The woot email made reference to them being busy "writing descriptions for many, many items" or something to that effect.

I <3 woot-offs. If you guys want, you can sign up to get text messages sent to your phone with the current item from woot-alerts. Once I figure out my phone email address I will do this.

Nice collection of crap. Crap you would never otherwise buy unless you were feeling the rush of the auction like environment.

[Partial]

I was planning on getting two 24" monitors on Black Friday and selling my current 22".

However, I'm not a graphics guy so I don't need anything beyond a basic TN panel for my LCD, so I jumped on this deal and got a 22" monitor for 135 total shipped.

I find that I am 1000000x as efficient in my programming with a second monitor like I have at work. I have two 24" dell ultra sharps there, and you can get those on eBay with Windows Cash Back for 375 a piece shipped, but that is still am almost 800 dollar investment to replicate my work environment compared to what will be a 330 dollar investment for two 22" consumer-level monitors. Seems like a much better deal to me!!

Yeah, same here. Luckily ( or not luckily, depends on perspective) I don't have very much money to spend there, so it stays under reasonable control.

I've bought:
a Zune from Woot

47" lcd for my roomate off of SD
26" lcd for roomate off of SD

Did you order it under your company name? If it were for employees, you would have. If you were trying to make a fast buck, you'd have ordered a dozen to be sent to your house. I think they have every right to decide whether they want to do business with you.
