paying 75 cents a day to have an extra 17 hours of leisure a year

that is, paying 75 cents a day for 2 extra minutes of leisure. For a U.S. knowledge worker this is probably a good deal, but for example, for a Hungarian housewife this is ridiculously bad, even if you work with more realistic annualized costs.

Damn, I hope I'm not the only Hungarian housewife reading LessWrong...

Yeah, that's about right. It should also be noted that my calculations were made under the assumption that the user already owns a stand-up vacuum.
