remanufactured Roomba 4230: any guarantees on remanufactured 4296 to 4230?

A generation is the next manufacture or lot of a product. In otherwords, when it first comes out they may make 1,000 of these things. That's the first generation. Then they do improvements or change the look very little and that is the second generation. This matters to some people, because with things like video game systems, you want the newer generation , 3 or 4th, because the software bugs have been fixed. Yet sometimes newer generations fix flaws that were in your favor, such as being able to download stuff to it, or giving you options that where causing the company to loss money in some way, so these people want the older generations. Like satallite receiver cards. Hope this wasn't to confusing and helps.

might be best to contact irobot roomba direct to ask whether the 531 battery is compatible with the 551. they appear to be pretty much the same. probably best to type in "roomba 531 battery" on amazon. it will be less expensive. i believe at roomba my battery was quoted at about $65.00, plus tax and shipping.

I'm afraid I don't remember what the warranty is. However, our roomba is still running strong on this replacement. No sign of the battery life getting shorter yet.

Remanufactured in this context is same as refurbished. The unit I got was in box new condition. Not even a scratch..or fingerprint. Likely previous buyer had buyers remorse and retuned..so unit considered used. It is a hefty price..but a top of line toaster..and ideal size!

my roomba is a 551 model. i think i assessed the picture, number of batteries, etc. and the fact that it appeared to be the same battery, i took a chance. the price was so much better than direct from the manufacturer. works great! Your edit of my response removes all capital letters. I still use capital letters where needed. I wish you did not do that.

It is not marked "Brother", but it seems to be new and not remanufactured. It fits perfectly and has been operating correctly. No error messages from the machine!

I purchased one of these batteries September of last year and when you get them, they have a little sticker on them that tells you the make/refurbish date. Mine was made 08/13 so they are pretty new. The first available date was when this ad was first posted. These batteries don't exactly expire, and as long as the page says "In Stock" it is available. When companies make the ad they have to list a Quantity, so if they have 10 and sell 7 it will tell you. If they have over 100 or so it will not list the quantity, and they can add more to the stock as they get them. I can tell you I've not had a single issue with this item as of today, however optima does not cover the warranty. If you have any issues, you will have to go through amazon for replacements.

I wouldn't imagine so. They were also dicks about customer service as well. My unit was out of warranty by a few months, and they refused to repair it for less than 100$ plus shipping. I took the machine apart myself to see if I could fix it, only to find that it was obviously a refurbished unit, even though it had been sold as new. There were plastic feet that had been snapped off and then glued back together (poorly) inside the housing, along with a wealth of mismatched screws. The broken part of the unit is a proprietary motor/fan housing which can not easily be replaced.In short, don't buy this unit. It doesn't roast very well, and it's prone to breaking.

remanufactured, I returned it because I wanted a new one, they didn`t have a new one so I got my money back. The 855 is a old unit and would have been used too long. max

I think it was remanufactured. Mine was DOA and had to be returned. Still have not received a refund!

It appears that the price changes. It should be possible to get the remanufactured unit for about 60% of the list price of the new unit.

Pat, I ordered it as a replacement battery for the irobot discovery not sure of the model number and it works just fine. The battery charge lasts as long as the original battery that came with the Roomba which is roughly about 1.5 hrs of continuous running time. I haven't been disappointed yet. I ordered it over a couple of months ago. Hope this helps

I have what is identified as Lot 000040. Considering my date of purchase, and the guarantee date of 6-16, their time could be no longer than 2 1/2 years. Sorry/

I would buy now and take advantage of lower price. If the unit is reconditioned, then the testing and warranty come into play. However, Amazon has given me good service on things like returned items, without any problems.

My Roomba is the 400 series and the battery is still working great, I have had it for a couple of months. I looked at my battery and compared it to the picture of the battery I was ordering to see if they were the same. Good purchase.

I wasn't 't concerned. I am confident it will last as long as the lower ampere hour battery that came with my Roomba. With the higher ampere hour replacement battery my Roomba cleans better than it did when new.
