HSN: iRobot's Home Away From Home

The Home Shopping Network has emerged as iRobot's favorite partner, and it's not hard to see why. HSN offers free advertising and television exposure and a high quality customer experience.

HSN now offers nearly iRobot's full line of customer robots.

With new customer coupon code C56574, you can save $50 (15% up to $50 max), so the deals are often the best around, on iRobot Verro Pool Robots, Roomba 500 Series, Looj, and Dirt Dog. The Scooba 340 at HSN is also by far the best deal (without a lifetime guarantee), but perhaps that's why it's sold out. (Note the code doesn't work on Sale prices, so the 2 Roomba Combo for $299 won't work with it.)

I'm wondering if brickless and mortarless retailers like HSN and Amazon will do better with high gas prices than their megastore competitors as folks stay at home? Although I'm sure they are going to have to deal with higher shipping costs as fuel prices soar. I heard on NPR a story about how small town retailers are actually doing better in rural America because people can't afford the gas to drive to big box retailers like Wal-Mart a county or two away.
