I bought the Roomba Elite Pro which includes 2 virtual wall units. They work exactly as advertised. Roomba doesn't go across the wall. I can push my mess to one side of the room, set up this virtual wall, and let Roomba run. When it's done, I push the mess to the other side of the room (which is now clean) and let Roomba clean the other half of the room. I can clean the apartment without having to clean-up first. Now, only if iRobot can come up with something that put stuffs back on the shelves....

One annoying thing is, it doesn't come with the 2 DD batteries required. It's not that expensive to include two cheapo non-alkaline batteries with the unit, consider how expensive they sell this thing for. People don't generally stock DD batteries. When we unpack it, we want to be able to test it out "right away".

Overall, YES this thing works with Roomba with no doubt! But you gotta consider the price is way to high for just a virtual wall unit.....

This product works as described. It is a little expensive, but much cheaper than hiring a housekeeper :). I like to set the Roomba and leave for work. It is nice to come home to a clean floor.

These days, most Roomba purchases include a virtual wall unit or two. By sending out a radio signal, these units keep the Roomba from crossing some invisible line wherever you set them, keeping the Roomba in one portion of the room, or out of a certain area. I agree with a reviewer who said that it should come with batteries, but at least the battery life seems to be excellent. (Years of moderately frequent Roomba use have required something like two battery changes.)

I have a very open design in my house, and the virtual wall is essential to keep Roomba where I want it. If for some reason your Roomba didn't come with these - or didn't come with enough - then I'd recommend picking one up.

This is an older version of the 2003 that shuts itself off after one hour.

I FIND IT WORKS FINE ,AND IT KEEPS THE VACCUM IN THE ROOM,YOU WANT IT TO STAY IN.

Very simple to use, works perfectly,even attractive. It makes Roomba even more convenient and useful.

This little product is a must-have if you have a roomba. The roomba is more effective if it is only doing 1 or 2 rooms at a time so this virtual wall creates a barrier for the roomba without creating a barrier for your family.

I used to go nuts putting things in the way of whatever I didn't want my dirtdog to get at or go into. I bought two of these so I could square off sections in rooms where I know it has trouble. The only reason for the four stars is that the signal kind of fans out the further away from it you go. That means you can't really get a straight line before the iRobot device starts to tweak out... other than that I tought it was a good price for what it did.

Great service and on time shipping. The virtual wall was such a great deal for the product that I ordered it twice, from the same people.
