My Roomba started on my house, then headed for the front door. No matter where I put it now, it heads straight for the front door. Is trying to tell me something?
@hchavers It’s weary of self-isolating. You should put a mask on it and take it out. Be careful, it may need help with the concept of social distancing.
Don’t see it for sure in the specs, but I’d only recommend this if it does mapping. I originally had a Roomba model that used their random-pattern algorithm, and sold it in favor of a Roborock vacuum that does do mapping, and it’s a world of difference IMO.
Not only does it satisfy my OCD-like desire for it fo vacuum in a methodical pattern, but it’s also great do be able to tell it to go vacuum a specific room.
I was a little wary when buying about deviating from the “gold-standard” of Roomba, but about a year in I’m thrilled with the purchase. Now what I’d really like is the Roomba that self-empties its waste bin into a larger one with a bag that’s integrated into its charging station, but they want crazy money for that one ($1,000+). I’ll empty the vacuum daily for that sort of premium.
I bought this model brand new at costco years ago. It’s still going strong. No WiFi because that would be dumb, as the Chinese don’t need a map of my home.
I’ve never had good luck with Roomba or any other robot vacuums. It seems like it gets lost or stuck and never makes it back to recharge. The last one went missing and it took me a few days to find where it got stuck. When I did find it, I cleaned it and returned it. I guess I’m done-done with robot vacuums…for now. Hey maybe one of these Meh refurb Roomba’s used to be mine.
I’ve had a roomba for about 10 years. I upgraded a few years ago. Still love my roomba. I moved into a new apartment and it still picks up stuff from my floors. I’m tempted to buy this one because it has the new brushless system. I’m giving my original roomba to my grandson after I cleaned it up and replaced the brushes. Just had to buy a new battery about 5 years ago.
I need help! Rob my money and kept the return piece of junk. They have not honor an replacement, plus kept my money. Reporting to Better Business Association for con artist selling online! I purchased my IRobot on May 20, 2020.

Meh
This one really sucks.
@jayman007 No, not really, comparatively.
Still my favorite Meh purchase to this day.
I’m always home Vacumming , Even by a robot is overrated !
@ibjungle I always thought vacuuming might be fun?

Got my IRK today… ridiculously good deal! Thank you, MEH Fairy.

No show & tell for the class?

@hchavers Shameless theft of another’s excellent joke: Be careful that it doesn’t go outside. Nature abhors a vacuum.
Are you implying that this robot vacuum eclipses all others?

@brispi They already have it my friend along with the key codes. May be you should discard that telescreen too.
@tejas4goa we should make it as easy as possible for them to get more info. Bluetooth devices and apps for everything!

Excited to try it

@clinkieb
Did you purchase it under a different account?
Oh, and I also can’t find on MehStalker that Meh sold a Roomba on May 20, 2020.
Evidently, the seller is walking the item from Buffalo to CA. Another delay in delivery date. Lame. this thing better work…
@ghm2112
You may rely on it
/eightball Will it work?
This is my second attempt buying a vacuum on Meh and neither worked. I think I give up on refurbished items.
