I picked up the Solio H1000 over at Best Buy. They’re getting rid of them, clearly, as the one I purchased was brand new and well over 50% off.
Additionally, I managed to pick up enough tips and combined with the iGo USB charging cable, I’ve got almost all of my on the go charging needs [...]
Well, in adding the weather stripping to Roomba-kun, I found that he may have some damage. It doesn’t affect the overall performance, he vacuums fine.
