iRobot 800/900 Series Replenishment Kit

I like the convenience of having all the necessary replacement parts. Why did iRobot discontinue the 890 model? I dread when I have to replace my Rosie.

We have one 980 in bonus room on top floor, i8+ on main and i8+ for fully finished downstairs. Each is set on a schedule- more frequent than any I would have had if using a regular upright or canister. No back problems, no time impairment, and no having to coerce to get the job done! If you can't figure out how to set schedule- call a friend who can! You will be very happy you did! While we have to clean bin after each use on the 980, small effort compared to benefits. The i8+ machines even lessen that "chore". Just bought a lower priced roomba for our relative with spinal issues. She's quite delighted with her "Baxter"! Oh- and a great source of entertainment for our dog!

I use Thandi in all my rooms.She does a good job in the places she can reach. She knows she has to go over some places several times to get them clean.

I bought the Roomba 890 about 2yrs ago as a birthday present for myself. I have an Akita that sheds like there is no tomorrow so it's a hassle having to vacuum every other day to keep up with it. Since getting the Roomba I've gotten away with weekly manual vacuuming and the dog hair is kept to a minimum. My main con is the small bin for it as well as it randomly struggles getting over the hump between my kitchen floor and carpet but it eventually makes the leap. Another con for some people is it can easily get stuck, but for me I get a kick out of trying to find what hell the Roomba got itself into, so far it's gotten stuck under my recliner a few times and has somehow managed to close the bathroom door on itself as well. Again many may get annoyed by this but it cracks me up when I finally find it. As another person said I do wish the replacement parts were a bit cheaper but I get the reasoning behind it, iRobot is a profit company and it costs them money to make these items so naturally things get marked up. Besides $60 isn't terrible especially for 3 filters, 2 rollers and the brushes. In the time I've have my Roomba all those parts still work great so it's not like you're buying them on a weekly basis. Anyhow I would 100% recommend getting one if you don't already. You'll be glad you did.

We have had a number of Roomba models over the last 12 years. They have all worked great. We have the 805 which is for pet hair. Our dog doesn't shed much, so gratefully, the Roomba doesn't have a lot of dog hair to regularly pick up. I clean out the Roomba with the regular vacuum when we do our weekly or every 2 week house clean. Pros: runs every night and keeps the kitchen floor clean enough that my wife can be comfortable in the kitchen barefoot. Cons: the rotary brush in the left front wears off the finish on our hardwood floors. The Roomba pattern, even though random, performs the same response actions when it encounters corners, so the corners end up with a wear pattern that follow the corners about 2 inches from the wall or cabinet. Also, why are these replacement parts so expensive? The 2-brush, 2-roller and 3 filter pack is $60? This is kinda steep considering what you are getting.
