Default Roomba

Wonder if this will clean the boat as well as it's cleaning my kitchen?

Stumbled on one for $10 at a thrift shop on one of my foraging expeditions.
The battery pack needed replacing. It's running on a gelcell taped to the
top of it and haywired to the battery terminals until Irobot sends me the
"restore kit" of brushes, battery, filters, etc.

The parrots are terrified of it...(c;

I'll take it to Lionheart with me on my next trip to the marina and see how
well it does on teak and holly decks. Works fine on vinyl and carpet!

The rotary brushes don't like pet hair, all wound around them.

Though the webpage doesn't mention it, it doesn't like 3' long macaw parrot
tailfeathers, either....

Wonder if the Scooba floor washing robot does decks??
