What's in the box? If I buy this remanufactured roomba w/ scheduler from Amazon, what comes with it?

I received the remanufactured roomba yesterday and was wondering the same question before I ordered it, but figured I could always return it if I didn't like it. The scheduling remote, the charging home base, and 2 virtual walls are included in the box. There are no extra brushes or the thing to clean the brushes. You will also need 2 "d" batteries for each wall as well as AA for the remote.

If you order the part that picks up more crud you will need the curved filter shown. That part holds more hair, fuzz, etc. I have both and alternate between the two. I'd like to add I couldn't live any more without my Roomba. Mine is a reconditioned unit - and I'm thinking of getting a second unit for the rest of my house (I only have one carpeted room - and it took six weeks of running the Roomba every day before we realized the carpet has a nap (knap?)!

I am still trying to sort out what "generation" each of these Roombas belong to. Is this 4230/4296 a "second" or "third" generation? What does the newer generation add?

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.

Robert - I don't know about the specific unit you are looking at but the one I bought ended up being a well cleaned demo unit. I spoke to the seller as it was listed as new in box. Seller gave me a discount but be aware the unit may be a demo unit. Mine was also missing pieces which the seller sent to me at my request. Regarding warranty the seller says he warrantis only the motor for 5 year. I would recommend getting that in writing.

A friend told me you could use a air compressor to clean and reuse. I bought extra and just changed mine after 6 months. Love my Roomba.

I think it was new, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it matters. All these remotes have a design flaw. There is a ribbon cable that connects the main part to the slider breaks after a enough opening and closing of the sliding keypad. When they refurbish, they replace the broken ribbon with a new one. So I assume a refurbished unit would work as well as a new. It seems for most people the cable breaks in 6-12 months. Someone posted a link on an electronics site where you can buy a ribbon cable yourself and fix it yourself. I did this and it's a little tricky but doable. I actually haven't put batteries in yet to see if it works with the new cable since it's a spare at this point.

There's the Scooba, charger, brush plate (should already be attached to the robot), manuals and warranty card, and a free sample of Scooba solution! Hope that helps! Also, in this version (the retail version) there is only one brush plate versus three like you receive if you order from iRobot directly!

I'm thinking of asking Santa for a Roomba for no other reason than pet hair. I have dark walnut hardwood floors and a new golden retriever puppy that sheds like a summer shearing. His hair flies across my floors when the ac/heat kicks on even though i have a swiffer vac that i use SEVERAL times a day. I see your post is almost a year old, i've read several that loved their Roombas for only a few weeks or months....do you still love yours and do you think it's worth the price? Kelley

Mine came with everything listed on the package. It was not a refurbished unit.

I had the same issue. Received my mop and noticed the "factory recertified" sticker on the box as well. Not impressed at all seeing as how the listing doesn't mention a thing about refurbished. I called Amazon and they were willing to refund my purchase but I asked to get a partial refund and keep the mop, which they agreed too. Can't fault Amazon much beyond allowing a shaddy vendor to use their service. I'm happy with Amazon but unimpressed with Firemall!

One cannot schedule multiple runs during one day, however it is possible running it manually. Of course, you have to let roomba recharge.

comes with a backup set of brushes... and eventually you would need to replace filter.. not sure how long they last.... doesn't use bags.. you have to empty Roomba after every use.

When I got mine it had a white "DISCOVERY" shell on it... yet it is a "SCHEDULER". Wierd. I thought they sent the wrong one, but apparently that is one of the "Cosmetic Blemishes" of getting a remanufactured version. It schedules just like it's supposed to, though and everything else says "Scheduler" on it except the plastic case on the vacuum it self.

My granddaughter has the machine, so I can't take a look at it, but it seems like it has a few things: bobbin of course, brush, dust cover, and manual. There's a little storage drawer that's part of the machine, so I'm thinking there were some supplies. Sorry I'm not more help.
