The Rooma 871 is advertised as "Special Edition" that there are only available from Amazon. Without further thought or research may one be thinking: Well, wonderful! I'll even reward a loyal customer of Amazon and get something that is not erhalten.Aber the customer the regular electronics markets: Far from it! Namely, very far ...
On the one hand I read in the reviews previously set repeatedly "The flagship of Roomba". That's not true! A look at the website of the manufacturer shows quickly that there are two models of the current 8 Series: Once the 870er, and once the 880s. Difference is, among other things, that the 870er the Virtual Light Wall missing functionality, and the device only the Virtual Wall function can be used. Another difference: The 880s and the 871er (on Amazon) are the same price. The 870er however, the infected apparently behind this ominous Amazon Special 871er costs, beaten 100, - less - regardless of whether I now order it from the manufacturer directly, or buy an electronics store.
But that's not all: Another difference hides in the detail. The Amazon Rooma only comes with a Virtual Wall, therefore, the 870er original but with two pieces! If you buy the missing Virtual Wall for these strikes again with just under 40, - to book.
Overall, the buyer the "small" the current production model is here therefore presents, again stolen a Virtual Wall quickly out of the box, and proceed to checkout you will be asked quite regularly at the rate of its big brother. Hello, Roomba - it's even? Who buys directly from the manufacturer, or in an x-kipper other market, saves as at least 140, - (or more, if the Roomba - as currently - will also be discounted). This then has nothing to do with price comparison, since it is the only 871er on Amazon - but with a particularly blatant form of CustomersLinked asses. You invent a new product number, and then rejoice the unsuspecting customer a smaller model, together with a reduced scope of enterprises. Well, Bravo.
Apparently only a typical "German" problem. On Amazon.com (USA) and Amazon.co.uk (England), there's the Roomba's not only been considerably longer (the devices are already over half a year on the market, only Amazon.com has apparently not get), but there are both 8-equipment available in stock. And there can also understand the price difference. In addition, two Lighthouses with are on the other Amazon sites in the Roomba quite regularly. I guess the way that this stroke of genius is no match on the dung of Amazon, but is likely to be self-inflicted through Roomba (according to the motto: Either you get the 'Special Edition', or your customers go well the next six months away empty-handed). ..
I hope my review can be the / one or the other reader / -in be noisy and look behind the scenes of this "Special Edition". Should I be anywhere in error, so ask for a brief comment and of course I will adjust my review accordingly. The device itself may be quite excellent (see my review for 780er), however, all this is useless if the good faith of potential customers is so exploited and you get palmed a lightweight product for more money.
