Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot Roomba 510 Vacuuming Robot
Customer Review: WARNING: Still not ready for prime time!
Summary: 1 Stars
Great in concept, sadly not well executed for the long run. If you're thinking of buying a Roomba, based on my experience you should assume that it will *not* last beyond your warranty. My Roomba started acting up after only light use, but as it was out of warranty I was out of luck. After a few polite if canned responses from their offshore "customer support" I was told that my Roomba's constant spinning was not repairable. A call followed with a naive sales pitch that I find hard to believe would work with *anybody*. My Roomba was obviously defective, why would I want another? And why would *you* buy one in the first place? For this price, you have a right to expect more than a year of service. But in this case, I assure you, you can't. The quality of the design and manufacturing clearly needs more time to catch up with the quality of the concept. Until then, I will return to using a more reliable machine that incorporate more resilient -- albeit simpler -- technology.
