Got a Roomba for my previous place and it eventually sabotaged itself by scratching the cover of the alignment beam for docking until the unit could no longer align itself with the station. It was an obvious bug in the system, but iRobot wouldn't provide any customer service without extensive repair costs.
That was the end of my adventures into home robotics.
This pic always confused me. The outlet should have had two running throughout the day for redundant cleaning duty just to show off the technology. It shows a lack of confidence in the product.
Probably liability issues. Some customer doesn't see it, steps on it, and face plants into the floor then they get sued.
