iRobot Roomba 560

===What Is It?=== The iRobot Roomba is one of the latest robots; built for busy people and to fit into peoples day-to-day lives. It is an automatic vacuum that runs efficiently, safely and effortlessly on its own. It uses technology that is used for bomb disposal robots in the armies all over the world. Now that is pretty cool! ===Why Would You Buy It?=== I got the iRobot Roomba recommended to me by a friend. I had gone over to her house and saw it vacuum the whole room while we were busy chatting! I sat watching it cleaning around the chairs, tables and even the lamps gracefully. She was saying how useful it was and you could even go out ...  Read the complete review

I was so in love with this little machine when I saw it at the Ideal Home Show and it only took the discounted show price to make me bring it home. I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time vacuuming up dog hair and so it seemed just perfect. You just plug it in to let it charge and then press the clean button and off it goes around the room and gives it all a spruce up. When it is done, it returns to its dock and recharges itself (obviously this doesn't work if you've moved it to a different room to clean - in which case, it just seems to keep going until it runs out of battery). On the whole, as long as you have removed anything it can get ...  Read the complete review

I have owned an iRobot Roomba 560 for less than one month. I was initially absolutely delighted, my house was looking consistently cleaner than ever before. Roomba comes to life when scheduled, leaves it's charging base, vacuums the whole downstairs of my house, & returns to its charging base when finished.

It comes with two virtual walls or lighthouses which can either be used to prevent Roomba entering some areas completely, or to ensure one room is completely clean before entering another & then assists Roomba's guidance back to the charging base.

I bought this amazing robotic vacuum cleaner 4 months ago and it's a godsend. 'Having a child in the house means messy house- having a Roomba in the house means clean house'. It cleans very well, even beneath your furnitures where its hard to reach for other biggger vacuum cleaners. It works brilliantly on carpets too. But it does take its own sweet time to clean the room and it is kinda noisy. So it's better to run it in the night or might be when you are going out. Features- *Schedule buttons- It has buttons so you can schedule it to run at whatever time you want it to work. *Antitangling facility- although it says anti tangling i would recommend ...  Read the complete review

I have been using my Roomba 560 for nine months and I am very pleased with it. The (few) downsides are that you have to tidy up for it (yes, I know I should anyway!) and protect it from things which rip the arms off its 'daisy wheel' We are on our third revolving brush, because I found that he gets tangled with the electric storage heaters - I now fence off any hazards. We had to send it back once because the motor burnt out - beware, the filter needs cleaning very frequently. However, the company were fine about it, collected, replaced the motor and delivered all at no cost. I have slight misgivings about how durable it will be long term, but so far it's a terrific ...  Read the complete review
