iBuy iRobot Blog Guide

I just bought a Roomba Red Robotic Vacuum from the US iRobot Corp. then brought it to another country and plugged it into a 110v automatic voltage regulator that I use my computer on. It charged properly for the first 16 hours (per the charging instructions) then I used it to vacuum my floor. I charged it a 2nd time but I noticed that the battery charging light wasn’t on. I talked to their online chat help and was told the warranty has been voided and that it was designed to work ONLY on US current (as if people still use ships to travel from country to country with trips lasting weeks if not months). They said their product was too complex and sensitive for other countries’ electricity. Sure. Too complex and sensitive for a product made in China (stamped on the back) – probably by child slave-labor (not stamped on the back)!
Sounds like legalized (?) fraud (?) or an excuse for a crappy product rushed to production to me. And it’s supposed to be a contractor for the US military! Ha.

You mean “work well”. use proper grammar. Jerk.

I was thinking about getting a irobot roomba but most of the rooms in my house have .5 to 1 inch bumps in the door way so I don’t know if it can go over that or down it but if it cant then can the roomba have many chargers and just go to the closest one?

I want to get a Roomba but it feels im going to drain a ton of electricity if it has the self-charge feature which i really like.
So I would like to know how much energy it needs to charge so I can get a Solar Panel or other eco-friendly energy source to charge it.

I am unsure which product would be better and exactly what the difference are in plain terms now……….
Is one an older brand?

I just bought one of these iRobot vacs. Everyone I know who has one has given it a name……

I bought a Roomba on ebay that worked beautifully for 1 month. Then it croaked. The warranty is not transferable. It’s only 2 years old! Irobot wants $95 plus shipping to refurbish it. I did research on these vacuums, but didn’t realize there were no stores to take them to get them fixed. Help!!!
P.S. Was buying it on ebay my first mistake?

I was thinking about buying one of those irobot roomba vacuum things, but im not wanting to waiste 500 dollars on it if its going to break down after 1 use and i dont want to buy of the site because im pretty sure its not australian, has anyone had one of these, is it good, would you go back to a normal vacumm, is it worth the money, please dont answer this if you work for this company in anyway i want answers from people who have had iether good or bad experiences not from someone who has to talk good about them or gets fired.

I’m thinking of buying a iRooma that’s been used a few times from someone that needs to sell it to pay some bills. Does anyone have one and like it? This is the site she originally bought it off of, and she’s asking $125, so it’s practically a steal!!
Anyways, let me know how everyone likes theirs!http://home-solutions.hsn.com/irobot-roo…

I heard that iRobot might be working on a robotic lawn mower. Does anyone have any insight on this?
