Staying abreast

I stopped by Alexa.com, where I checked on "Hot Topics, What people are searching for on the web right now…" (Number 1. was Area 51 photos) and "Hot Products, Products that people are coveting right now…"

Evolution Robotics Mint Automatic Hard Floor Cleaner.

Yes. I had never heard of it before, either.

But, apparently, this is todays must-have product. The product has received good reviews all over, with the features being praised are; it does dry and wet, runs up to three hours, is effective, and is quiet.

I saw prices run from $149 to the list price of $199.

I probably would have bought one myself ten years ago when I lived in a decent place in Boston with hardwood floors. Now I more mull the data as mild humor that reminds me that we haven't progressed very much in 50 years, a vacuum cleaner is still a hot product.

Other items of interest I noticed, though, were the Cricut Create Machine and Clif Kid Zbar. Interesting. How do people hear about these things to even know to go search for them? I guess, predictably, I'm just not in the info loop about new products.
