Description:As a member of our latest generation of home robots, the iRobot Roomba 530 Vacuum Cleaning Robot features the newest innovations for dramatically improved performance, reliability and durability. It systematically cleans three rooms on a single charge, gets into hard-to-reach areas like wall edges and beneath furniture while avoiding stairs and other drop-offs. Roomba automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again. Improved Virtual Wall tells Roomba where to clean by restricting off-limit areas (2 included). When the cleaning is complete, or if the battery is running low, Roomba automatically returns to the self-charging Home Basey to dock and recharge.
Price Range: $270 - $300
The Winner Of Best iRobot Vacuum CleanerWhy it's best: The Roomba 530 performs similarly to the more expensive 560 model, but lacks on-board scheduling and Lighthouse Technology. If you live in a smaller home and don’t require the added convenience of automatic scheduling, the iRobot 530 is an excellent alternative. It’s easy to use, effective on floors and carpet, picks up pet hair, and avoids being caught up on rug ends or floor changes. It also includes a self-charging base station, which is very useful. 2 Virtual Walls are included to prevent the iRobot from entering off-limit areas of your home. Pet owners should consider the Roomba 532, which includes extra accessories to help tackle cat hair and other messes.
