Stopped working after only a few uses

0 months

Best Buy 1-star review by LynetteJ (title: "Waste of money"). Used the Roomba 105 maybe three times before it stopped working; the return window required the discarded box, Best Buy directed her to iRobot, and after a month of emails/calls the case was still under review with no fix.

Unit died after 30 days; extended protection refused

1 months

Best Buy 1-star review by Bbyfan2007 (title: "Not sold by Best Buy"; owned 1 month). Roomba 105 died after 30 days; Best Buy Total protection would not exchange/replace because the unit was not sold by Best Buy, and in-store staff at Portsmouth NH were unwilling to help.
