Yeah, but it's a scheduler! Thought maybe some people might be interested. I just wish mine hadn't tried to commit suicide by jumping down the stairs!

I have decided to hold out for a Dyson. Ok, so that'll be a long time for holding, but still. No Roomba for me. |

Your new Roomba killed itself?!  Poor Roomba. Surely life couldn't have been that cruel.
Is there a help line for despondent Roombas?

Didn't it show any signs of depression? Any signals that it was thinking of ending it all? We could have gotten it some Prozac, at least.

I didn't know! It was bad Roomba Daddy that didn't tell me until I found it dead on the counter.

"Bad Roomba Daddy." Sounds like a doo-wap group or something.

This is just one more example of how mental health is not getting enough attention in this society.

I would love to have a roomba-if for nothing else but the entertainment value with the Roomba vs. the cats. And the kids.
I might have to buy baby gates before hand should I ever get one-to avoid stair related accidents

They're not supposed to fall down the stairs. Mine did great for a while, but then it seems like the sensors went bad, and down it dove. The first time the sensors were kind of covered in carpet fuzz, so after that I was careful to make sure they were cleaned off. The other two times (including fatal accident), the sensors were totally clear. I have no idea what the problem is, but it's totally out of comission with the front wheel broken off.

So it had sensory and perception issues? Well going blind could certainly lead to one being depressed and wanting to end it all...
