  • So Far: Finds its own charging base; cleans all over the house; extra parts are easy to get; I don’t have to do a thing except empty it out when it is done!
  • I wish it had a larger bin!
  • Today I unboxed and set up my recently received iRobot Roomba 560 evaluation unit. I figured it might be fun for those of you who are curious to see what’s involved…and then we could send it on a test run together. Consider this part one ...

  • Relatively slow, battery life is limited, too much furniture can create a problem
  • The fifth-generation iRobot Roomba (model 560) takes vacuuming to a new level. Like its predecessors, the Roomba employs sensors to automatically maneuver around carpeted and bare floors, using brushes and vacuum suction to pick up dust, dirt, pet hai...

  • The latest Roomba takes a while to get the job done, but it boasts a slew of new features and improvements. Unfortunately, its coolest feature, the ability to clean from room to room and then return home for recharging, proved problematic....

  • Abstract:  En stor fordel ved Roomba 560 er, at den er ganske lav og dermed kan komme ind under de fleste møbler i stuen. Klik for at se et større billede. Hvem er egentlig ikke træt af bøvlet med støvsugeren, når nullermændene har taget overhånd og begynder at s...
