Are they functional ? do they clean properly,
Noise ??
Relaible ?
service ?


Please tell my your exeperience

A couple of co-workers have them and both have sent them back to the
MFG multiple times fo repairs/replacement. In the words of one
co-worker...NEVER AGAIN!, THEY'RE JUNK! By the way, her's was the
Roomba unit.

But then again, YMMV.

Good luck...

The basic technical problem with these things (at lest the ones I've
seen) are all battery powered. And you simply can't get a great deal
of suction (i.e. effective cleaning) out of a battery powered unit the
size these are.

This is a similar reason for why home carpet cleaners can't compete
with truck-mounted pro steam behemoths.

Agreed, Todd. I tried Roomba when it first came out. After a few days of
noticing it didn't pick up a piece of lint on the carpet.. even after it
rolled over it.. I got fed up with the thing, and tossed it.
They are nothing but gimmicks.. live and learn.
