Bad battery July 26, 2008
We got Roomba as a gift 1 1/2 year ago. We used it occasionally, and it worked fine, so we were very surprised when the battery died, shortly after 1 year. Unfortunately, the warranty had expired by then. The company customer service representative told us that we were not using battery properly. WOW! I assume that our relatives - 2 families - also didn't know how to use the battery, since they had exactly the same problem, even before 1 year. It looks like the company found an easy way of making an additional profit. I don't believe they cannot fix the problem - but obviously, it would take more efforts then just to trick customers into paying steep price for the batteries ($60-$70 apiece) all the time.

Long life July 23, 2008
I can usually expect to clean 1 large or two small rooms without having to recharge--but I've never timed it.

iRobot 4905 Battery
Ordered a replacement battery for our Roomba robotic floor cleaner and was advised, by the manufacturer, that they are "on back order." Did a little surfin and low-and-behold, I found a vendor offering the same battery FOR LESS $$$. Placed the order and the battery arrived very promptly. Boy, I'm glad the manufacturer was out of stock on this item.

This Makes Three Batteries July 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have now had to order my third battery for this Roomba. Like another poster the first one died within a year. This time it lasted about 1 1/2 years. At $50 a pop that is ridiculous and, after reading complaints here and on other sites, makes me wonder if it is planned that way, a vacuum conspiracy. As funny as that sounds, it is also based on experience. I have given two Roombas for Christmas presents and the same thing happened to them. They both went down before 6 months was up. I have yet to read a review in which the battery lasted more than a year. If this was a car company they would be under Federal investigation. They know they've got you over a barrel and I'd be willing to be that they earn the vast majority of their money through replacement batteries, etc.

Well, since the thing is worthless without it I am forced to buy yet another battery. That's three in less than three years. There's definitely something fishy going on here. How else can you explain the fact that they keep producing defective batteries? As I said, in any other industry this would be enough cause for a recall.

On another note, the vacuum works great when it works. But we are now approaching the point in which we've paid more for the replacement batteries than we did for the entire vacuum package. Not good business and if this battery fails I will not buy another.

Roomba is running around like a youngster again July 19, 2008
I guess my Roomba battery was slowing it down long before it just stopped completely because now it is much faster and has plenty of spunk.Glad to have it back at work.
