iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot

There is more than one brand of robotic vacuum out there. The iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot isn't the only one. It is the most well know and the best, however. Here are some of the features that make it better than all the others:

It's bagless so you don't have to get and change bags like with traditional vacuums. You just empty the dustbin into the trash and it's read to go again.

It filters out allergens. It gets rid of the dust, pollen and pet dander that make it harder to breathe.

It's designed to sense where things are in a room so it won't get tangled up in throw rugs or other things that belong on your floor.

It's self-charging. Once it has done its thing, it returns to a charging base and gets ready to clean up the floor again the next time you're ready for it.

Coolest thing ever...

I bought this vacuum three weeks ago. I have only had to break out the big vacuum once in that time. With three dogs in the house, vacuuming was a daily necessity. Programing the 560 took less than a minute. It runs at night while we sleep and cleans three large rooms. One room is tile with three large wool area rugs and lots of furniture. It gets under the tables and around bar stools with no problems. The other rooms are hardwood with several area rugs. The Roomba easily climbs over the rugs and gets the dirt. We used to find hair balls daily with a husky in the house. No more...

I have to admit that I was a skeptic when it came to these products. Now I am completely sold on them. A second unit upstairs keeps all the carpets free of hair. I can't think of a better gift for parents or newly weds.

Believe the hype! Embrace the epic sloth within!

Oh man. Man, oh man. Love is too small a word. I hate to vacuum. I'm a bachelor. Do the math. Visitors to my bathroom wear hazmat suits. So, I bought this thing thinking that it would be a cool novelty. A toy. Nope. This is a serious piece of dirt-destroying techno-zen. Reading other reviews, I knew I'd have to start out with clean floors for this to work, so I hired a professional to use a van-based steam cleaner to get my carpets perfect. With this done, I set the Roomba to work. First of all, it is amazing entertainment. I let it zip around the tv area for about ten minutes when its factory-charge began to run out. So, while it was charging, I examined the under-brush. Matted with hair... hair the steam cleaner didn't get! (I shed a lot. I am gifted with more and more forehead each year.) I cleaned it. The next day, it tried to do a cleaning, but got hung up on the circular base of one of my chairs and powered down. (A book-barrier solved this.) The day after that, I came home after it had done a full apartment cleaning. Bedroom. Living/dining room. Kitchen. The dirt trap was nearly full and the brush was again matted with hair. This tells me that the Roomba is very good at what it does. I expect less and less hair and dirt each day as the Roomba scours away the layers of single livin'. The extension brush gets all wall-edges and a sensor detects dirtier areas and focuses the Roomba on spot-cleaning them. I have come to the conclusion that the Roomba is more than a novelty. It's actually a really, really good vacuum. The fact that it's a robot isn't just a boon to the lazy. It has nothing better to do than clean, clean, clean. I have no idea how long it would take a human to do as good a job, but thanks to the Roomba, I'll never find out. It's as tenacious as it is powerful. This is actually worth the investment. It is NOT just a toy for the idle. It WORKS!

I don't know what I did before I owned a Roomba!

This is not my first Roomba. As a matter of fact it is my third. I took my oldest Roomba to my office to use there because I am self employed therefore the vacuuming is my job there too. Roomba number two is in my living room and this Roomba is in my family room. The only reason I have two at home is because my living and family room are on different levels. I love these machines. I program this model to come on and vac at MY convenience and I then come home from work to a freshly vacuumed floor. All I have to do is empty it about every third day.

I would NEVER go back to pushing a vacuum. My kids say I am spoiled and it's true. People say "do those really work?" The answer is YES!! I have had numerous upright vacuums and hated them all. My carpet is cleaner than it every was with an upright and my life is easier. I tell my kids, it's the only "person" in the house I can depend on to help me get things done.
