I bought one a few years back. It just gets pinned under the two pieces of furniture that have a clearance that closely match its height. I've googled and googled but there seems to be no way to solve it other than super glueing some sort of makeshift horn on it and praying it doesn't crack off. It sits in the corner now because I'm not sure what to do about it. It was a whimsical good time for a while but ultimately a waste of $300.

I bought it at Costco so I'm considering just bringing it back, but I feel kind of guilty after waiting so long.

I made the mistake of buying one for my parents soon after I got mine for Christmas. Theirs eats the low hanging drapes, so it sits in the corner as well. I always wince at it when I go over there for dinner.

Don't do it.

I have a couch that has clearance that is almost the height of my Roomba. It got stuck in there only once though. My idea is to increase the clearance with some pads under the couch. Then Roomba will be able to clean under the couch also. Lately I had to buy new furniture with no clearance at all or high enough so Roomba can go under.
