Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot Advanced Power System Ni-MH Battery, 3000 mAh, 17373
Customer Review: better than new
Summary: 5 Stars
I use my roomba every day, so I was not surprised my original battery gave out at about a year. This replacement gave my roomba discovery vac new life. It runs for about an hour and a half, not bad since it spends about a quarter of the time on carpet, which drains it faster. it also charges a lot quicker than the original. I'm very happy with the price and the battery arrived only a couple of days after I placed the order.
There are many choices for replacements online, which made it confusing for me to chose, but I think I got a great deal with this battery I have also read complaints from reviewers that roomba batteries don't last for years, but I feel I got my money's worth, since I used the roomba daily for a year. If I have to pay $35 a year for the convenience of having a roomba clean under my furniture, I'm willing!
Customer Review: Works as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
After leaving my Roomba unplugged and unused for more than 3 months, my battery died and no attempts to revive it worked. I was left with only one choice--buy a new battery! I considered cheaper alternatives (there are some do-it-yourself kits on the web where you replace only the inside of the battery) but in the end I decided to just buy a whole new battery. Well, my Roomba is back to its old self, it roams around the house and vacuums as good as new. I've had the battery for about a month and it's working just fine.
Word of advice to every Roomba owner--never leave your Roomba unplugged for too long or your battery will die! It seems that the more you use the battery (and your Roomba) the longer it lasts!
Customer Review: That's original battery but I received it 4 days after estimated date
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product on January.11.09 from Amazon.com and chose super saving shipment method with estimated delivery time on January.17.09. It is the battery that I needed for my iRobot which hasn't worked fine recently. I mean it stopped working after 5 to 10 minutes due to discharged battery. I bought my iRobot 3 years ago. This product is the same as the original battery and seems it works properly . The only thing that I need to complain here is its delivery which was late. I supposed to receive that on January.17.09 but I received it on January.20.09 by one of our neighbors who had seen the box left in the street! It was shipped from Amazon.com via UPS.Customer Review: Works Well
Summary: 5 Stars
While I haven't noticed the reduced charging times I have read about regarding this battery, I have definitely noticed extended run times. I am able to get nearly 3 "Large Room" vacuum cycles from my original Roomba...far better than the factory battery. When you order, make sure your are ordering the genuine battery. If you examine the photos of similarly named and yellow hued batteries closely, you will note differences that point to "no name" copies that may not be as good. Do a little web research before you order to make sure you get the genuine article. I ordered mine directly from Amazon vice one of their affiliated merchants for this reason.Customer Review: Brought new life to my Roomba Discovery
Summary: 5 Stars
After having my roomba for about 2 years, the battery got to the point where it only lasted about 10 minutes per charge. After trying the method by another reviewer to extend its life (a method which, for me, didn't do anything), I decided to fork out the money to buy a new one.
I couldn't be happier with my decision. Since replacing the battery, it's like I have a brand new roomba again. Rather than 10 minutes, it can go a few hours at a time before it gives up and goes to its dock for a recharge.
