Roomba & Scooba www.irobot.com Review

Good Points
Roomba vacuums well (not in corners) and love using it in bedrooms where it can get under the beds etc. When it is working it is a pleasure to have.

Bad Points
The battery is not covered under warranty so will have to buy 3 or 4 over a 3 year period. Also breaks down regularly and if you are not close to post office (with extra costs) or the repair center, it could be a problem.

General Comments
My Roomba works well, when it works. I must admit that I use it every day on a different room on max. I have to return it to be fixed every three months. Thank goodness I bought an extended warranty and the service center is about 15 minutes drive away. The battery has a limited life. I was advised that if I ran it on maximum and did not allow it to get back to the home base, the battery life would be extended. I do this every time I use it. Still no luck - will need to buy a new battery every so often.
