iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver irobot 560, Cleans routinely, so you don’t have to. 500 Series robots offer the latest innovations from iRobot with unprecedented efficiency, coverage, and cleaning performance. irobot 560 Review I would like to see Roombas at various times over the years, and with this latest (newest, greatest) version, I decided Roomba 560 a shot. Now it runs much, much better than I had expected. I really thought it would be in other areas and not in a position to really dirty corners (I'm missing, how could it really good?), But I was wrong. It cleans my floors ... Read Full Story

My wife and I decided to get one of these because our 8 month old son is about to start crawling. While we try and keep our floors clean, our beagle has other thoughts as she sheds all over the place. We went with the latest 560 model as it has just about everything we would want with a product like this. It works as advertised and we will definitley keep it but there are some areas that need improvement. Here is a quick breakdown of the pros and cons Pros 1. Quieter than a standard vaccuum 2.

The product I own is a Roomba 535; available only through a television retailer. However all the 500 series cleaning components are the same, only the battery life, lighthouse/virtual wall compatibility, and scheduling features differ.

Even with the problems I've experienced with the 500 series, it has been improved enough that I'll keep it. My ... Read Full Story

I won't duplicate what others have said. On our hardwood floors Roomba does a better job than the top-rated cannister which we've been using. We have a good whole-house furnace filter and we don't get an enormous amount of dust, so I don't find that the Roomba dust tray fills up quickly. It's true that the Roomba needs minor regular maintenance (such as cleaning the brushes), but all vacuums need this, and they rarely get it. It is easier to perform that maintenance on a Roomba. Two things prevent me from giving it five stars. The first is that the product is still not ... Read Full Story

Did you ever just fall in love . . . with a piece of well-designed technology? I sure fell for this one. How lovely to have something else take care of one of my least favorite chores! Why I love this gizmo: (1) Goes about cleaning the floors quietly (forget the noise of a conventional vacuum cleaner); (2) Does a better job than I ever could because it can get under the beds fully to get out all the nasty little dust bunnies, and it crawls along the baseboard to pick up the bits that hide on the edges of the room; (3) Cleans ...
