Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's really not a true "review" on something like this if written right after placing in service but here goes. "Robert" my iRobot Roomba was pretty much dead and when he passed he passed fast. Looking back I saw evidence of his failing. He didn't want to leave home long, didn't have much zest for life and would poop out early in the party. Finally he would leave his house (dock) crawl forward a foot or two then faint crying "charge me!." He had been with me maybe 2 1/2 years and danced for me daily save on Tuesdays - his day off. It was true love from the beginning as far as I was concerned. I called up his birth mom to make sure my diagnosis of a fainting heart was correct. Very helpful. Before buying, I went on line with Amazon to compare prices for heart (battery) replacements against those of his birth mother. I found his bm sold on both sites but priced lower on the big A site by about ten bucks. I also found they offered replacements for Robert's original heart plus a new extended life version. I bought the extended version. Honestly, Robert's worth every penny and more! I did surgery on the kitchen counter. It was easy peasy even for an old lady with arthritic appendages. I cleaned him up good while I had him anesthetized. I do this daily but he got a good cleaning under all arms and legs that day. Oh my, Robert is doing the happy dance now!! He seems to go forever! Not only that but it seems his new heart helped his memory. He can find his way back home better now than he has for a long long time. All is well in our world now. My floors are clean again under this indian's bare ole feet, I hate that crumbly feeling when retrieving my morning coffee. Robert is his jazzy perky self again. Presumably it will be years before Robert ever needs a transplant again. Oh one thing to be aware of - heart replacement does mean temporary situational memory loss. Robert needs to be reprogrammed all over again. I think I'll give him Sunday off in future- just like me.
