Mr. Roomba is dead!

[asterroc]

Long live Mr. Roomba!

His brushes have continued to not turn, other than for some 5 minutes after a thorough cleaning. So I called Roomba support this evening, and brushes not turning is covered under warranty - by a replacement of the unit. The new one will arrive within 3-10 business days, and we are to ship back the old one at our own expense ($6-8 via FedEx or UPS, so not too bad).

This makes me so sad, we're losing Mr. Roomba! I have to keep reminding myself that losing an old Mr. Roomba means gaining a new one... So sad! :'(

So sorry to hear about Mr. Roomba! What will you call the new one?

(I suggest Ms. Roomba, in true Pacman/ Ms. Pacman fashion.)

I was thinking Mr. Roomba Jr.
