    Well I got one today and think its great, does not pick everything up but it really is worth it, got the cat spooked though!

    I tried so may stores (by phone) before I got one then found loads in the Bournemouth Castlepoint store. Still had about 25 tonight and there is no price on the shelf so most people would not be aware they are only £29 now.

    Well this is the first time I've felt like buying a vacuum cleaner! They should make one in the model of a Dalek, I'd definately buy that. It'd be even better if it screamed "EXTERMINATE" at every patch of dust..

    I've tried about 7/8 stores and none of them have them. One store knew exactly what I was on about and told me they sold out yesterday. 2 of the stores told me they are an order on demand item and can only be ordered in store? Has anyone else found this? I'm going to try and go there later and see if it is the correct item and order one...

    If at first you don't succeed... CHEAT...
  • Managed to get one from the Farnbough store....still had a shelf full of them.

    Nice bargain especially as my mate paid £250 for his Roomba version.

    I have travelled to Loughborough today, took me about an hour and a half but they have loads. I phoned the store and they reserved me 4 (how greedy am I) 1 for me 3 for Christmas pressies. They are near the tills with a big sign but no-one was taking much interest apart from me. My hubbie is playing with his new toy now. At first we thought it wasn't picking up very well but seems to be doing the job.

    Get to Loughborough now!

    Is it just mine or does everyone's battery only last for a room at a time?

    Mind you it has done the ballroom a treat :D

    If they are sent using www.senditquick.com it should cost £9.99 and I'll pay an additional £5 to cover any additional packaging or hassle

    Sounds like an ebay seller.
