I thought about getting one on woot today, but from what I have read this generation only has a shelf life of a year or two before it irreparably breaks down (not to mention that the battery is expensive). The design is non-modular making repairs impossible.

I guess I will wait until the newest generation just released is cheaper.

Go to woot.com right now and you can buy a roomba for $130.

Yes, I am a complete idiot...I missed that first sentence of yours. I can see how it would be confusing when you say that you passed on the one on woot and then I come back and say 'check out woot, they have one.' I am going to go and take a nap now.
