roomba 560 by i robot

Advantages: no more hoovering what else do you need.
Disadvantages: few minor echnical problems but sorted out immediately by the helpline.

i was very sceptical about this product at first but was pestered to buy it by my gadget obsessed son. The price was £250 online which when compared to say a dyson is not so bad. I relented and was so glad i did. I expected something similar to one of those hand held hoovers but this was so much more. it copes wonderfully with my carpet and dog hairs from a very hairy dog. I don't have to worry about doing the vacuuming now i just leave it to roomba. ...
...into various rooms to clean up which is a bonus. Also it has made them more aware of the stuff they leave on the floor because they are worried it will damage the machine. It does need regular cleaning but it is easier to clean than it is too vacuum a room. I have had a few problems with it but rung the helpline and they have sorted it immediately, very friendly people. ...

Review of iRobot Roomba 530

Durability

Irobot Roomba 560 - great product, lousy reliability

Advantages: Great concept - it does what it says on the box
Disadvantages: Appalling reliability - it doesn't do it for long enough

This is a fantastic product if it would only keep going long enough to clean a room. Unit one - purchased in August 2008. Main vacuum motor failed in October 2008. Unit two - replaced in October 2008. Fault with brushes and carraige in March 2009. Unit three - replaced on 7th March 2009, failed next day on first clean of first room. Fault with main front bumper sensor. Unit four - there will not be a unit four - I will avoid in future Apparantly ...

Review of iRobot Roomba

iRobot Roomba 530 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Advantages: Anti Tassle, Cliff Sensor, On Board Scheduling......you dont have to vaccum!!
Disadvantages: No major problems, can sometimes get stuck.

We bought our first iRobot 'Roomba' a few months ago, and I can honestly say we haven't looked back since!! I will tell you a little more about the company that we bought our first 'Roomba' from… iRobot is an American company which was founded in 1990. They supply robots for home use (such as the 'Roomba' Vacuum cleaner and the 'Scooba' floor washing robot) as well as supplying places like Iraq and Afghanistan for help with search missions through ...
...is about the recently released iRobot 530. I bought this Roomba from www.electricshopping.com for £199.00. Good value in my opinion and definitely money well spent. I will list some of its many features here: It is a grey circular robot, quite attractive with a circular button in the middle which lights up blue when pressed and emanates other colours depending on what it's doing i.e. charging etc. It has a front bumper, which is the same shape ...

Review of iRobot Roomba (

Durability

iRobot Roomba

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Doesn't do a thorough job with pet hair, can be a pain to clean the brush.

I have two large dogs, therefore a lot of dog hair on my carpets and I didn't think the roomba would cope. I was quite pleasantly surprised! It didn't pick up all the hair, so it won't do a good a job as a conventional vacuum cleaner if you have pets, however. it's ideal for 'in between' cleaning when you don't have time, or can't be bothered to get the vacuum out! I found it does tend to go over and over the same spot again which you wouldn't do ...
...doing the pushing! It comes in very handy if you have a dry spill by using the 'spot' clean. I find it tedious to clean the brush and that can take a bit of time, but apart from that, it's a handy gadget to own. I don't regret buying it! ...
