Does this add any value over the default that comes in the roomba 770?

I'm not sure, but they didn't work with my 5th generation roomba. Stick to the same exact ones that you are replacing.

I bought it as a replacement battery and did not power up Roomba. I tried to troubleshoot it and could not get Roomba going. I will junk Roomba. Invested enough time and money already into it!

According to "iRobot" website, this 80501 battery, selling for $69.99 on their site, is compatible for 500, 600 and 700 series roomba's. So I would say, "Yes". But you could always contact them thru their website to be sure and then order it from Amazon at a much lower price.

I have a rug with thick black stripes - my roomba apparently thinks they are edges of cliffs. You can "modify" the sensors easily by covering them with approx 1"sq pieces of white typing/printer paper. (If the paper is too thick or not white, the roomba will see it as a cliff. If is regular printer paper it apparently thinks everything is fine. If you need the cliff sensors, be careful because this effectively blinds it. If your house is all one floor, I would just leave the pieces on.

Thank you for your email to Hammacher Schlemmer. The 880 Roomba is quieter. faster ,cleans better, less maintenance , emptyies less often than the 780 model. I hope this information helps you. If you need further assistance please contact us. Thank you.

The one that I own does not. Many features that it has is exactly like a roomba. The price of the clean mate is much less. I love it. I feel like it's well worth the investment.

I don't know. What I do know is this: The ROOMBA is a far far better machine. I have one of these units just sitting after trying it, and immediately went out and bought another new Roomba.

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

Thanks Donna,I was mostly concerned about the remote and home base so it's good to hear that they're included. I hope you enjoy your new roomba. They really should update this listing to include that information.

So it sounds like the roomba comes first or only. There seems to be more than one model. Which one should I buy for all linoleum and enormous fluffy dog hair piles.(Could be lesser piles if roombaed regularly) Please advise. Thanks.

I never had Roomba or any other remote vacuum so I can't answer that part. This one doesn't give as many errors but you really really need to empty the space of wires, thin doormats or rugs otherwise you NEED to babysit it. It does its job though. Keep cleaning all the hair regularly and keep it away from water. I am satisfied with their after-sale service. My Hovo 510 needed repair within 2 months (I had bought a second hand from Amazon) and they asked us to parcel it and they sent it back in very few days. I also didn't want to spend 300+ so bought mine for less than 200 and can say I'm fine with it. Just once a week I take my standing vacuum and clean the corners.

really not sure if all chargers are exact - I would suggest contacting the manufacturer of Roomba??

I'm test driving a roomba now and like it, but after reading all the comments (and yours about the hardwoods) I'm worried. The trilobite is SO expensive!

Tes fit perfect at my roomba but is half or less of the original duration capacity

To the best of my knowledge, the differences between the 500 and 600 series Roombas are minor, and the charging cords and bases will work fine with either model of Roomba.

They are very similar. I have the 780. Here are the differences I found: 1. Virtual Wall Lighthouse on the 780 is different that the mere Virtual Wall on the 770. The virtual wall simply contains the Roomba in the room. The Virtual lighthouse does 3 things: a) it contains it in the room just like the Virtual Wall; but then it b) allows it to go to next room when first is complete, and c.) serves as a 'lighthouse' so Roomba can find it's way back to the docking station when it is 'out of sight' of it in the next room. 2. The buttons on the 780 are 'touch keys' whereas I think on the 770 are 'buttons' 3. The 780 has a 'trash bin full' indicator. A pretty good comparison http://www.amazon.com/iRobot-Roomba-Vacuum-Cleaning-Allergies/dp/B005F1PT32/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1384824460&sr=8-4&keywords=roomba+770 I personally have not yet found the differences to be worth it. I may figure how to use the lighthouse thing more later, but for now in my situation the 'next' room is 'under construction' and we are not having Roomba go into there. Also the primary room is a large 'great room' ... 750 sf, so Roomba may be out of juice before it could do the next section anyway. If you simply want it to do one room at a time, no need to go to the 780. If you have multiple rooms you want it to automatically do, and they're not huge, a lighthouse at each door may help. I was new to this technology when I purchased. I will try these out when our 'next room' is completed (within the next month or so I hope). If these Lighthouses do not add significant functionality here, then I'd definitely go the 770 cheaper route next time. Full bin indicator - if you empty it every time between used, not worth it unless maybe a lot of dust, pet hair that could fill it up before a room is cleaned. (info chart is a little confusing on whether the 770 has this or not.) Touch keys .. your call. I wouldn't pay for the difference.
