I hope so... But I have heard of others with my experience. Theoretically I also had the base of the machine swapped at some point =S

I had a Scooba. Got a refund after it was repaired 2 times in 6 months and still didn't hold a battery charge.

There are three bin modules you can get for the 500 series. The standard vacuum bin (brushes up big debris then squeegee vacuums( http://store.irobot.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3293484&cp=2804606.3358508&ab=CMS_SelectRoomba_500_102308&s=D-StorePrice-IRBT&parentPage=family The high...

I have a Roomba 530 with AeroVac. It only cleans the top soil off the carpet along with a fair amount of pet hair, but it really is convenient to have.

Jack, That machine looks all kinds of awesome! I got the Digital Slim for myself for Chrissy... Have to take some pics soon...

Family friend of ours, got pressured into buying a second hand Kirby in excess of $1500. She was a 70 year old widow on a pension. Department of Fair Trading was called. Nothing they hadn't heard before. She ended up returning the vacuum and getting a full refund.

It costs the (current) equivalent of $599 AUD in Australia ($580 USD)

I got my DC26 last week. I absolutely love it.

The Motorhead on the 21 & 23 is identical :)

The internal hose for some models just screws into the rubber fitting. I don't believe it should need to be replaced.

The buildup of dust in the inner chamber does not inhibit the performance of the machine. It is not in the path of the airflow... There is some airflow there... But not the primary airflow..

Yeah I have had it happen before... I find using hand cream before vacuuming stops it.

There is no real need to sterilise the cyclone assembly... Its only going to be come a) unsanitary as soon as it is placed in the machine, and b) Average Joe shouldn't be cleaning it themselves...

I don't see the need... Under normal household use there is not really any need to clean it out IMHO. I have a DC02 from ages ago... Still working brilliant... Same with my DC15 (which I have put so much dust through).

Hmmm... I have the odd hair or two make it to the filter but nothing that significant.
