I have an 860 or so roomba. The plastic knobby brushes are great and way better than bristles imo. We have run our roomba 4-5 days a week for 3.5 years now. Needed a new battery this year. And needs new plastic brushes. After running over cables the knobs have worn down a bit and the suction is starting to go down. It does start to suck in a cable, then it realizes what it is doing, and reverses and spits out the cable. Not sure if they do this differently with this newer unit, but still I never lost a cable. It did knock over a tissue box once and spread tissues everywhere. Bad Bob. Bad.
Anyways. Huge timesave, and that $450 price ain't bad either. I do have issues with signals sometimes. We have two towers. It divides our place into 3 units to be cleaned one at a time. Sometimes, roomba won't cross into the next unit, or won't return because of all the wi-fi and what not interference. Still, not a huge deal. And Bob has never fallen down the stairs, although at times he dips a wheel over the edge and requires human assistance.
