Roomba Vacuum Cleaner: The Dirt Minesweeper

Everybody's talking about iRobot's Roomba vacuum cleaner. Why? Because it's more than just a vacuum cleaner; it's your very own personal robot maid. The Roomba floor vac was designed using the same kind of technology as a military minesweeper does. It seeks out dirt with its state of the art sensors and then uses strong vacuuming suction power to thoroughly clean your floor. iRobot designed this robotic vacuuming marvel to pick up dust, dirt and even pet hair. Sure, it's a vacuum cleaner, but a Roomba floorvac is special. It cleans your carpets and dusts your floors all by itself. With the latest technology, you can schedule your robotic vacuum to come on at a different time every day of the week and do your housework even when you aren't at home! Pretty slick huh!

Roomba Vac - faster than a speeding bullet!?

No, it's not faster than a speeding bullet and it can't leap tall buildings in a single bound but Roomba can "talk" to you using a series of beeps. It has sensors that will alert it to stairs or ledges so that it does not fall. It even has virtual walls you can set with infrared sensors that keep it confined to certain areas of your home while it cleans. Other patented technology enables this robotic vac to:

• Find its own way through a room, avoiding obstacles and vacuuming dirt and debris under and around furniture.
• Clean right up to the baseboard edges and table legs with a spinning side brush.
• Know when it has a low battery charge and return automatically to a docking station to recharge itself.
• Adjust automatically from hard-surface floors to carpets, removing even clingy dust and pet hair with ease.

A super robotic vacuum cleaner

They range from the inexpensive Roomba Red ($149) to the Roomba Sage, Discovery, and Discovery for Pets (up to $300). Just released in 2006 was the brand new Roomba Scheduler with Intelli-Bin which sells for a mere $350. That's not a bad price to pay for any robot, much less one that cleans your floors automatically. And when it's done, it puts itself away - it doesn't get any better than that. "NEW" They just released Scooba - iRobot's next brainchild that will wash, scrub and dry your hard surface floors all in one pass. Bring it on iRobot - the world is ready!
