Hi guys I new here. Not sure if this is the right place but please move to the correct area.
I have those robots things called Roomba for over 7yrs now; the older model ones. It was great back in its days but no longer works. New battery wont solve it; DEAD.
Head to Google and saw one from Lake Land for £299.99 (531). Newer models cost £349.99 else where. Not sure what the differences are but they all looked the same. I came here for this advice. Upon more "Googleing", I came across this website: imayne . com goes by the name iMayne Robotics. Never heard of them!!! They sell a "Modified Roomba 560" for £299.99!!! My old self dont know what a modified roomba is. Can someone tell me what I am missing? The link is here: imayne . com/shop/roomba-560-561
They also sell and repair these things. Should I repair my own 5541 or purchase these modified roombas?
Cheers!

Heard mixed reviews about those Navibots
I think Roomba wins in this home. But the guy came back to me from imayne . com. He gave me choices. I'll try the modified roomba with 2yrs warranty. seems like great service.
PS: I cant reply with links nor a quote...weird.0
