Cheaper alternative available
The design is an overkill. In addition fourteen bucks is a lot to pay for this. Here is a cheaper and effective alternative. Just buy Velcro tape from the dollar store. The soft portion is good enough to offer protection. Just a cheaper alternative to those who like to protect the Roomba and your furniture. In addition you get the Velcro in black, so the guard don't stand out as well.
Fantastic Add On for Roomba
I have a Roomba 581 that runs daily. After only a month, I began to notice areas on my dark furniture legs where the stain was being rubbed off. That would never do, but I sure couldn't give up my Roomba either! I saw other soft bumper products which were made only of a foam type of material. While soft, that material will also rub the finish off furniture. I then came across the Ultra Soft Bumper for Roomba when someone posted about it on a robot forum. I decided to give it a try and what a difference! Roomba is very quiet now, without the bangs I used to hear when bumping things, and my furniture is no longer suffering. The bumper is very soft, dust and fuzz is easily cleaned off, too. I highly recommend getting this if you have a Roomba. I plan on getting another for my 560. Besides this product working so well, the Ultra Soft Bumper is designed to last the lifetime of Roomba.
Prevents my Roomba 610 from Docking
I got this primarily because I feared the Roomba damaging/ scratching the legs of my furniture....as well as keep the Roomba itself scratch free. Well the assembly is pretty straight forward, all you have to do is peel of the adhesive and press it along the edge....be very careful to line the edges up.
Well after about a week of finding the Roomba undocked and fully drained, I decided to watch it attempt to dock...it goes up to the docking station, attempts to seat itself and then pulls out and tries again. Maybe it's the 610 model for which it doesn't work, but I tried lining it up again, pressing it harder etc.
If looking for a great add-on to prevent the Roomba from getting stock under certain low furniture, I highly recommend the strips. Roomba, Scooba KeepOut Strips Fits All Roomba and Scooba Products, Robot Add On's Part 6018-1001
