Questioner asked: I am placing an order for roomba 400.It is the very basic (cheapest) roomba. Without the scheduler, will it automatically shut off when it finishes cleaning the floor ? Will one charge enough to clean 500 sq ft hard wood floor ? The battery is just the regular battery not the long life one.
Thank you.

They do not work. Do not buy one, Get a regular vacuum instead and exert a little bit of muscle.

First off, instead of bashing them like others have, they do work, but not as well as a regular vacuum does. All the models return to their docking stations when they are done, or 25-45 mins have past (depending on the battery life).
As for the 500 sq foot room, I’d have to say the 400 model was only meant for a maximum of two 10×10 rooms, or one 10×25 room. The more time it must navigate the obstacles in its path, the more that will cut its battery usable charge.
My mum has one, and as a senior she loves the darling lil thing. lol She lets it run its route during the night when she is asleep and won’t trip over it during the day.
