I can't remember the model (the most basic one presumably) but I think these are £100 in Costco.

Hi,

Don't know if you are still interested, but the Roomba 530 are on sale in Costco for £139.99 plus VAT. It is the latest model with auto docking etc. and also one virtual wall.

I bought one today and it is brilliant. We have a long haired dog and it sweeps up the hairs brilliantly. Just switch it on and leave it to do it's job.

Anyone have any updates on the Roomba? We've just moved into a new flat and need a hoover, I really fancy this but want to get a good deal.

Cheapest I've found is 113 on Electricshopping but it's not got a dock.

Costco have them for £141 inc VAT with a voucher (collect on the door for members) until 9th July. It's the 530, and I think it's fab, and wd be great for a flat.

They seem a complete waste of money IMO, anyway Ebuyer have a clone one for £85 it was £59 recently, it has the auto docking station

i remember seeing on a programme that they tested these and they apparently were only any good in a room without furniture -- they said it kept bumping into the furniture? if i was you i'd get a Dyson instead

my parents have one of these. My step-dad bought it coz he hated having to clean the wooden floors & hoover the carpet, my mum just wasn't impressed when she found out he'd ordered one.
BUT she wouldn't be without it now! They love it and it seems to do a good job too!

how much is it to join costco? can 2 families join and share the card?

Im interested in the irobot, is it really good for animal hair?
