Highlights
Quality
What amazed me the most is the quality of the vacuuming.
Good maintenance habits will keep your roomba up and running, just do a quick clean whenever u dump your bin, takes two minute.
The achilles heel of this robot (as with all roomba floor-cleaning robots) is the constant need to clean the machine's brushes.
The amount of dirt it picked up in even the first half-hour i let it run was amazing, and my floors have never been so clean.
Price
Either way, this is a great purchase, and it was worth every penny.
So for $100 dollars off i finally decided to jump on it.
I can't afford to hire a cleaner oftener than once a month.
For the price i am hoping a while.
Shipping
First and foremost, the roomba was shipped on time, undamaged, with all parts included and clear instructions.
First off, it was well packed and arrived quickly from this vendor.
Ups will only accept a claim from the sender.
The net is that irobot had the $700 machine delivered somewhere but not to my home where amazon delivers twice weekly successfully.
Packaging/appearance
At first the dirt container was packed full with all manner of dirt.
Competitiveness
This irobot roomba 562 does better than my $2500.

My daughter let me try it, worse than my 400 model.
I contacted irobot to find out the difference between the two and they said there is no difference (which is odd).
