buffie Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 It's here!!! I had it working away while I was working, it's now charging itself Daisie sat on the stairs , walked past it. Barked once and is now asleep upsatirs on her bed (or is it ours ) anyway it's fab. So clever and lovely to know you are working and some house work is being done BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I tell you...my life has been transformed by it....and that is no exaggeration. The house is now much cleaner too! You do have to rethink the approach to vacuuming though....at first I though it was a bit slow and I could have done it in half the time....but now....it is much more thorough than I am.....and I'm not doing it! Enjoy!!! More time to walk the dog, look at the forum, bake a cake, work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sooooooo all was going great until the brushes stopped turning It kept telling us to clean them (we now have the cleanest brushes you could imagine) obviously a rogue one so any ideas Have contatced their service team I have to admit I was shouting at it, this voice that kept telling me to remove the brushes and clean them, I can't say what I said and was pleased the neighbour wasn't home from work to hear me I calmed down and went out with daisie. Can't wait to sort it out as it is brilliant Well I can just sit and look at it until we get it working or replaced. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Hmmmmm.....how disappointing. I had to disentangle mine once when when it gobbled up a silver chain of my daughters. Occasionally it will tell you to clean the brushes. Check that the plastic ends of the brushes are clear of fluff too.

Louise Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I am always having to clean the brushes I am going to shave the cats I have found occasionally it tells me to do it again when I have just done it but I just try pressing the clean button again and it seems to clear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I take it the newer one talks? Mine just beeps. Never had a brush problem. The website says the new one can cope with rugs and cables-is that right? I'm convinced it's eaten some earrings but OH is adament it hasn't.

Louise Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 yes it has a female american accent and says 'please remove and clean roombas brushes' It can cope with rugs okay and cables are not too bad but the little brush on the side has lost two of its 'legs' after a tangle with a cable but it was my fault I should have removed them as it was impossible for the machine to cope wit I need to find somewhere in the UK to buy spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 They don't have accesotires for the new model yet I don't suppose you are meant to break the brush so quickly I must look in the box and see if it came with a spare I know there was a new filter but not sure about the wee brush it still works as it still has 3 legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well awards for deals4u.co.uk and for Domestec. A call to both and no quibbles They collect and replace tomorrow. They said it's a faulty one! Can't wait, we emptied 3 full loads of hair yesterday BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
