I am always amazed when I read a good review of any Roomba product, but especiall the iRobot Roomba model # 4299. This piece of garbage was fun for about 10 minutes, then I began questioning the manufacturers intentions. I even thought of bring up a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer for false advertising.
This is an impractical solution that is not even a fun novelty item.
The iRobot Roomba's dirt receptacle area is a little larger than a pocket in a pair of tight jeans. The artificial intelligence is about the only thing accurate about this iRobot Roomba, because this robot is not intelligent. The patterns the iRobot Roomba travels in will only entertain you for a couple of minutes than you will be left scrambling to assist this joke of a cleaning solution to go the correct direction.
The bumper becomes scuffed after a couple of months of use. The battery drains rapidly and needs to be replaced with limited usage in about 6 months.

I was excited to hear that this Roomba could detect when the battery is low and go back to its docking stating. Cool concept but in reality its painful to watch (imagine your drunk friend trying to find the bathroom after being passed out for several hours). I have only seen it dock successfully a few times. As this robot gets older ( in six months) it becomes blind and can't find it's docking bay, seriously.
The beeping it makes to alert you ithe I Robot battery is getting low will make you think of using this expensive coaster as a Frisbee.
Please don't buy the Roomba or any of its products...
P.S. I understand that they make little robots for the army. Makes complete sense.
