|
|
| We have a remanufactured Roomba Discovery that crapped out on us a month ago - not sure what was wrong and not sure if it's fixable. We ended up replacing it with a brand new 560 that we are really loving!! However, we're not sure what to do with the old Roomba. It has a battery in it, as well as a back up battery. I've called all the e-waste centers in my area and no one seems interested. Any suggestions?? |

| You could post it here in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum as well as list it on ebay. |

| OH, I don't know. I would feel bad because I'm not sure if it can be repaired - it just kind of stopped charging one day. Do you think anyone would want it? |

| It's possible that someone may want to buy it for parts to use in another Roomba or even repair it. Lots of folks on this board repair them. |

Remember the three Rs!
Repair
Reuse
Recycle
in that order!
I'm sure your sick roomba is repairable in the right hands. Good luck! |
