Virtual wall 2003
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I purchased this virtual wall as a second wall and use with my dirt dog roomba and the scooba. First of all, despite being an old edition of the virtual wall, it works fine with the roomba/scooba (purchased in the past six months).
This wall performs its job as well as the newer model wall I received with the scooba. That is, it does just an ok job.
It seems to me that the wall produced by this virtual wall is composed by a circle around the wall itself, and a cone emitted at the wall. 3 settings are available for the size of the wall. But at any setting, the cone has a very large angle and will likely cover areas that you want cleaned, unless you spend a lot of time finding the right tilt to give the virtual wall. Also, the circle around the wall seems to me too big.
As a last note, I had the impression that the roomba/scoobas go crazy (either ignore the wall or stay way too far away from it) when the two walls are close by (say making an L shape), or when the wall is directly pointing at my physical white wall (I suspect some bouncing of the wall of the signal).
With all this drawbacks, I still think that for the $10 I payed for it it is a good value. Certainly, it is more practical than stacking up boxes and books to build a wall.

With the large openings I have from room to room this V.W. works well. I can contain the IRobot to completing one room before moving it to another.
Works very well – good value
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The price on this has come down a lot, so it is now a good value. It works great and having an extra wall or two allows the Roomba to work much better. We have found the Roomba works best when confined to a 10×10 space – or something similar. When left to roam a large room, it just gets confused and runs over some areas of the room many times, but leaves other untouched.
These take D cell batteries, but the batteries last forever.
Roomba Virtual Wall review
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I ordered two, and they arrived quickly. They don’t work consistently, which is a problem, but I don’t know if that’s the fault of the virtual walls or that my Roomba is old (perhaps the Roomba isn’t seeing see the “wall” at certain angles or in certain positions). But they did arrive quickly!
Roomba is so disappointing
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’d tell you how often I use this whole Roomba system (which I BEGGED for, my husband did not want to spend money on this), but I have long since given up on the hope that it would find our dust bunnies. It went to a charity drop-off point years ago.
Roomba is something I’d turn on and let run across our wood laminate floors while I paid bills, made dinner, or worked on the computer. the whole downstairs was an open, smooth surface which seemed to ooze dust bunnies daily. Roomba would creep around, painfully slowly, for HOURS, coming within 1/4 of an inch of each dust bunny, and never “find” it. It was so aggravating to watch that I’d drop whatever I was doing and grab a real vacuum so I could turn off it’s irritating sound. It was loud, and a FAILURE.
Another Wall

The Roomba virtual wall that I received was not like the ones I already own or, more to the point, like the one that was pictured when I ordered. However, it seems to work just as well.
Great accessory
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Very simple to use, works perfectly,even attractive. It makes Roomba even more convenient and useful.
Works well
. I like to set the Roomba and leave for work. It is nice to come home to a clean floor.

This product works as described. It is a little expensive, but much cheaper than hiring a housekeeper
Exactly What It Says
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
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.
Not for newer Roombas

This is an older version of the 2003 that shuts itself off after one hour.
Pricey but worth it for me.

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…..
