Nope, but I do know that they were threatened with legal action by 
iRobot. A number of people thought that they were purchasing direct

updated the site to say "roomba.de are not an authorised 
distributor". Nor are we, but we've never made any claim to be :-)

Their site also contains some outright lies, such as the claim that 
it is illegal to _use_ a power supply personally imported from the 
US. In fact, it is only illegal to SELL one.

I should have pointed out that our Roombas come with a UK-legal power 
supply.

We are discussing warranties at the moment. iRobot only offer a 90-
day warranty, which is all we can definitely commit to. In practice, 
however, the US experience is that either they go wrong in the first 
week (<1%) or they don't go wrong.
