If I'm reading it correctly, the Create series does not have the vacuum components.
I used to be a big fan of iRobot, but after going through 4 of their robots, I have soured on them. Their batteries would die right after the warranty period ended. Plastic parts broke off from regular use. Each of them ended in the recycling bin after 1.5 - 2 years of use.

- damon_c 12y agoYeah. I too have a meter high, cylindrical Roomba graveyard.
- alttag 12y agoI had similar issues, but opted to go the route of replacing the battery rather than the whole Roomba. It's worked well for me. In addition, Amazon reviews point to some third-party batteries that supposedly last even longer than iRobot ones.
- whoisthemachine 12y agoSame here, I just replaced the battery with a cheaper third-party battery when the original ran out and get about 45-60 minutes of runtime out of it still after 2 years.
