 Roomba is so disappointing February 9, 2008

I'd tell you how often I use this whole Roomba system (which I BEGGED for, my husband did not want to spend money on this), but I have long since given up on the hope that it would find our dust bunnies. It went to a charity drop-off point years ago.
Roomba is something I'd turn on and let run across our wood laminate floors while I paid bills, made dinner, or worked on the computer. the whole downstairs was an open, smooth surface which seemed to ooze dust bunnies daily. Roomba would creep around, painfully slowly, for HOURS, coming within 1/4 of an inch of each dust bunny, and never "find" it. It was so aggravating to watch that I'd drop whatever I was doing and grab a real vacuum so I could turn off it's irritating sound. It was loud, and a FAILURE.

The Roomba virtual wall that I received was not like the ones I already own or, more to the point, like the one that was pictured when I ordered. However, it seems to work just as well.

Very simple to use, works perfectly,even attractive. It makes Roomba even more convenient and useful.

This product works as described. It is a little expensive, but much cheaper than hiring a housekeeper :). I like to set the Roomba and leave for work. It is nice to come home to a clean floor.

These days, most Roomba purchases include a virtual wall unit or two. By sending out a radio signal, these units keep the Roomba from crossing some invisible line wherever you set them, keeping the Roomba in one portion of the room, or out of a certain area. I agree with a reviewer who said that it should come with batteries, but at least the battery life seems to be excellent. (Years of moderately frequent Roomba use have required something like two battery changes.)
I have a very open design in my house, and the virtual wall is essential to keep Roomba where I want it. If for some reason your Roomba didn't come with these - or didn't come with enough - then I'd recommend picking one up.
