The Roomba Vacuum Is All That!

Not only is the Roomba Vacuum "all that" - it will clean up your bag of chips! How's that for a state of the art cleaning product? The Roomba vacuum cleaner is surely one of the most promising technological advances of the decade. iRobot, a well-regarded robotics company that also manufactures military robots, first introduced the Roomba in 2002. The concept of a robotic carpet cleaner was a stroke of genius on iRobot's part. Certainly no one expected the personal robotics revolution to start with a self-propelled disk for cleaning floors. However, a true robotic marvel, the Roomba floorvac roams the floor, does its own cleaning, and finds its charger when it's done. And the best part - it really does pick up dirt and hair! IRobot's statement... "If it's down there - we'll get it" sums it up nicely!

Features of the Roomba floor vac

This little automatic genius is practically maintenance free! All you do is program it (so easy), clean the brushes and replace the filters regularly. Oh, and dump its bag less particle collection bin compartment as you would with any vacuum cleaner when it's full. No more pushing around a heavy, clumsy upright vacuum; the Roomba carpet cleaner is self-propelled, and you rarely need to touch it. Aside from the features mentioned above it also has many other terrific features including:

• Cliff sensors to prevent it falling down the stairs or off ledges
• Easily moves from carpet surfaces to hard floors and back
• Powerful suction and rotating brushes
• Battery life indicator
• Advanced anti-tangle technology for rugs and power cords
• "Talks" to you when necessary using a series of different tones
• Virtual walls using infra red signals contain Roomba Vacuum in given area.

It also can intelligently navigate around objects and has the ability to remember the layout of the room it has just cleaned so it knows how to be more efficient the next time! Wow! What a vacuum!

And the price of a Roomba is? One word - affordable.

You would think that with all of the features they have and the proven fact that they work - the price would be as futuristic as the concept. Not so! One of the most amazing things about iRobot's Roomba Vaccums are their prices. They start at just $119 MSRP, with the attractive Roomba 400 model. Roomba competition in the marketplace comes from the Karcher RC 3000 RoboCleaner and the Electrolux Trilobite 2.0. Both of these robot vacuums can set you back over $1000.00. And who wants to pay that much for ANY vacuum cleaner?
