No. The DH saw it.

I like the Roomba so far but have a question. It seems to have trouble finding the dock. I've tried putting the dock in several locations and it just zips off in another direction. The instructions aren't very helpful in that regard. I hope it isn't defective.

Also, does anyone have/use the remote. Is it worth buying?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

ours recently has been having trouble latching onto the dock - it can find it but doesn't latch. we've had it for 2 years and it docked fine for a long time.

i've noticed that the docking station needs to be level with the roomba - we have a room where the floor is slightly uneven (old house).

no - i don't have the remote. however, the model we have is progammable - never used it yet!

found some tips regarding docking and testing the docking:

Me too, I put a slanted door stopper, one of the rubber kind, under and behind the base, and that helps.

thanks - we have a wedge handy and will try that.

it's funny when it goes nearby to dock - it looks like a small animal trying to figure out how to get through a gate, attracted by food on the other side!

So, we've had the Roomba for a while and I like it! It is great at picking up pet hair. I run it every day and when I open it up to clean it, I'd swear there is a cat in there!

We have three black cats and light carpeting and floors. You can imagine how much fur I vacuum up. Maybe I will look into a roomba someday.
