Description:As a member of our latest generation of robots, the iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaning Robot features the newest innovations for dramatically improved performance, reliability and durability. On-board scheduling allows you to preset up to seven cleaning times per week for Roomba to clean when it's most convenient for you â?? whether you're at home or on the go. Roomba systematically cleans four rooms on a single charge, gets into hard-to-reach areas like wall edges and beneath furniture, avoids stairs and other drop offs and automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again. Each Virtual Wall Lighthouse (2 included) confines Roomba to one room until the entire floor is vacuumed before Roomba moves on to the next room. When its battery is running low, or when the cleaning is complete, Roomba automatically returns to its self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge.
Price Range: $350 - $380
The Winner Of Best iRobot Vacuum CleanerWhy it's best: If you’re looking for a vacuum that’s incredible easy to use and very effective on floors and carpet, the iRobot Roomba 560 is the best available option. This robotic vacuum quickly learns the dimensions of your room and avoids being caught on rug ends or floor changes. Simply press the “Clean” button to operate, or set it to clean automatically using the on-board scheduling feature. The 560 includes Lighthouse Technology that helps it with room-to-room cleaning, which makes it a great choice for larger homes, though it may sometimes have difficulty finding its way back to the dock on its own. This vacuum is very quiet and its small footprint helps it get under furniture and beds where dirt and dust has been building up. Users may find fault in the relatively brittle side brushes, but if you ever have a problem, iRobot sends replacements free of charge. If you’re a pet owner, consider the Roomba 562, which includes extra accessories to help tackle cat hair and other messes.
