After lot of debate and deliberation within, I have procured the Roomba 880 few days back. Some of the major concerns I have was sourcing components part of ongoing usage and practical performance of the product in Indian conditions.
When the first concern is yet to be fully addressed, my test run did not disappoint from results perspective. My 6 year old could feel the difference, and so did my better half. Thats a good sign.
It picked up a lot of stuff from under the cot, in a small room, it roamed around for a good 20 mins and stopped before it covered one strip beyond the foot board. I suspect that the algorithm got confused roaming around under the bed and bumping on to the foot board. A small issue, since I had to re point him to the strip which he is yet to take care of and he promptly set off to take care of it. Lesser problem than what we have with the current maid!
So overall I am pretty happy with the splurge. I will be using it once a week. So will keep you folks posted with any new findings I do.
BTW, I liked the remote. You have to keep pressing the button to keep it moving in a direction, but, may be that's a good thing that you accidentally do not run him over wrong places.
