Auto Vacuum Cleaners


The redesigned Roomba auto-vacuums deliver 100 percent more effective vacuum cleaning, including improved vacuum pickup, brush design, debris and particle filtering, advanced cleaning coverage and navigation plus innovative new scheduling capabilities.


Using wireless technology, the robots starts its work with one button push and knows when the room is cleaned and moves on to the next room.

The iRobot Roomba 560 and 570 features 2.4GHz RF-based Virtual Wall Lighthouses that can be placed in each doorway of the room. This does not allow the robot to leave the room unless it’s completely clean. It even directs the robot through the home. When the battery of both the robot is running short, the Virtual Wall Lighthouses guides them to their Home Base to dock for recharging.

The added features of the new Roomba vacuum robots include:
# A solid, heavy-duty design featuring modular components for enhanced durability and easy servicing
# Anti-tangle technology so Roomba can extract itself from tassels and cord tangles
# iRobot’s proprietary built-in, light-touch intelligent sensing system that can detect when Roomba is approaching a wall or obstacle and automatically slow the robot for a gentler impact and quieter operation
# A built-in voice tutorial for new users that demonstrates Roomba’s features right out of the box
# A new mobility platform that allows Roomba to travel on thicker carpets, climb higher thresholds, and transition easily between floor surfaces
# New re-designed dustbin holds significantly more debris

The 570 also sports a wireless command center to steer and program the vacuum remotely. The 560 comes with an on-board scheduling function allowing owners to program the robot to clean the rooms everyday.

iRobot has starting shipment of the Roomba 530 and Roomba 560 for $299 (approx. Rs. 12000) and $349 (approx. Rs. 14000) respectively. The Roomba 570 will be available by mid-September for $399 (approx. Rs. 16000).
