iRobot Roomba 560

 

The Roomba 560 from iRobot is the company's most advanced robo-vac to date.

Sealed chassis to prevent dust clogging its sensors. Bigger wheels. More powerful motor. Modular design for easier repair jobs. New "lighthouse" feature for multiroom cleaning. Better side brush for improved wall cleaning. Anti-tassel technology. Can...

Still gets caught on cords and loose wires. Lighthouse feature far from perfect. Takes a lot longer than using a regular upright vacuum.

what's really cool about the roomba 560's virtual walls is that they feature a lighthouse function. basically, each lighthouse/virtual wall unit has a rf transmitter/receiver (along with the home base and 560) for communicating with each other. the...

Review: iRobot Roomba 560

 

For years I have seen the commercial for Roombas on TV, and honestly, I thought it was a scam. I always thought to myself that these things don't clean good, or they won't clean the entire floor. I had a lot of doubt in the product and never really...

Review: iRobot Roomba 560

 

With two adults, two kids and a hairy dog tucked under one roof, it's not surprising that the floors in my house get pretty grungy. Due to our household's busy schedule we don't always keep up with the floor cleaning as much as we probably should....

Model 560 comes with two "lighthouses" which are small modules that look like salt shakers and put out an infrared beam to create a barrier Roomba won't cross. In virtual wall mode it will keep Roomba confined to one room. In lighthouse mode it will...

Roomba 560

 

Why waste time on household chores when you could be playing with gadgets? This innovation from iRobot could make your life a whole lot easier.

Idiotproof. Clever enough to avoid stairs. Charges itself

You still have to empty it. Likes the occasional rug to chew

Roomba 560

 

Cheap robo-vacs used to be a no-no, but this one is top-notch. Not Dyson standards admittedly, but far more relaxing
