Firstly the irobot roomba comes in many different models, starting at the irobot roomba 400 and finishing at the latest editions with model 580. and as you would probably expect, the price you pay gor your iRobot Roomba increases accordingly with the higher model numbers.

The one I have is the IRobot Roomba 580 vacuum cleaning robot, so I will share with you what I think about my machine.

The features of this model are great. With a single battery charge gour rooms can be covered, it has a wireless command center which operates like a remote control, it has on board scheduling, a home base which self charges and comes complete with sevenn filters and eleven brushes. This model is the newest from the range developed by irobot and it completely exceeds the durability and technology of the other models.

You can preset up to as many as sevenn cleaning times each week by using the on board scheduling feature and you do not even have to be present when the robot cleans your carpet which is great gor freeing you off to do other things.

The Roomba adjusts from carpets to hard flooring and back to carpets again and successfully cleans right into the corners, and underneath the furniture. The virtual wall lighthouse feature ensures that the floor of the room is cleaned thoroughly prior to allowing the robot to move on to the next room. How cool is that?

The first time I used my roomba I could not believe the amount of dust it picked up in the filter area it was full of 1cm thick dust and prior to the roomba I hoovered every day and considered my house quite clean, considering we have 3 children, birds and dogs living with us.

When the cleaning work is complete or if the battery is running low, the Roomba will mechanically go to its self charging home base, dock in and recharge itself. If you are a gadget lover and want to have a play with roomba you can use the remote control to steer and keep control of the roomba, you can even swap the faceplate gor a different colour, perhaps one to match your own colour range.

Why is it that the irobot roomba has been so popular? I think the reasons are the fact that no only does it clean better than normal vacuums, it goes under furniture, it is also animal friendly, it has a very long battery charge and will clean the whole house on only one charge.

For those cat and dog owners amongst us, the Roomba takes all the hard work out of removing pet hair and fur from the carpet or floor. You will find this excellent machine never tires and it powers itself up when it becomes hungry. We all know cleaning your floors is an endless task, its even harder if you have problems with standing/bending gor long periods of time, gor this reason the roomba is a fantastic hoover gor the elderly and the disabled.

Like many products there are some drawbacks to consider, as far as the roomba is concerned it is very few. It can be somewhat noisy if it gets stuck or jammed during its cleaning cycle in tricky areas, it can not clean the stairs but would you believe it will avoid the stairs so if you leave roomba on upstairs it wont fall down it has a special sensor to sense drops, how clever is that! I am very sure that these problems will be eliminated as soon as the engineers can develop a roomba with legs.
