iRobot Roomba 560 - Review

2009-07-06
what's up everyone John Rhett enger' here with three view for you of the irobot roomba 560 also known as the vacuum cleaning robot I gotta say I love the Roomba now there are a couple reasons that I love it slowly just from a geek factor in it tech nut it's pretty freaking cool to have a robot do your vacuuming we just want to get your geek on have your friends come over and hit the vacuum it's really cool to see it in action it's not the best vacuum in the world certainly get in one of those handhelds and that you're going to go through the carpet place by place it's gonna do a better job packing but that's not really what the Roomba is about it doesn't adequate job vacuuming but it does it without you having to do the vacuuming so that may make me sound a little bit on the lazy side I'm not too lazy to bank and brain stretch the imagination I just think it's freaking cool so the room but what it does so I'm going to show you the back of it you can see it's got these two brushes one here one here and as it goes around it just sucks up in vacuums it's got a filter and a tray and it's got another brush that pulls up your debris now I will say using the Roomba is not like using another vacuum maybe you have to clean at the end of every use or communauté once a week the Roomba is a little bit high-maintenance I've got a cat my cat sheds a lot like I showed you guys during my unboxing and even during my demonstration of the Roomba so there's a decent amount of cat hair on my floor no matter how much I brush her or how much really how much I vacuum and cat hair and give a lot of dust and debris it's gonna get caught in the bristles and they're gonna constantly get the duty to do please clean room with brushes and that's because this thing talks to you if it's got an error it'll tell you what the air is if it needs its filter clean if it's full if one of the brushes dirty or needs to be clean it will tell you which totally adds the cool factor another maybe sounds a little bit geeky and dorky but I'm a tech reviewer I'm a geek it's it's kind of what I did so it does like I said an adequate job clean you can set to clean it'll clean your entire house or apartment up to four to five rooms and when it's done it'll come right back to its dump and charge itself it does come with two virtual walls you can keep it confined to a space or you can set it to route into other rooms I will say that does go randomly so it takes a while to go across the whole room but if you leave it and it's okay you don't get a warning or an error message it will get your whole floor I don't have the largest apartment in the world you guys may have seen it during my unboxing but it does clean my entire place in about 25 minutes so figure that's probably about an average per room it's got a smog mode but there's a particularly dirty spot on your floor you hit spot kind of spins around sort of a seashell pattern Fibonacci if you will and it'll clean that particular area it lets you know when there's a dirty area as well there's a blue light that will glow on tops let you know it's vivid dirty spot and when it's done it'll just keep going on its way all this sort of geek fun robot action does come at steep price the iRobot Roomba 560 is going to run you a whopping looking at the computer screen 379 bucks so $380 will get you the full iRobot Roomba with the two virtual walls and extra filter and an extra storage piece in my mind it's a worthwhile price to pay like I said it's not that I'm lazy to vacuums oftentimes I forget my girlfriend has allergies sometimes friends come over if I don't vacuum that day you know they can have some sort of reaction so I can set the room but in fact that you said it to vacuum every day while I'm gone every day at noon this little guy is going hard at work vacuuming my floor without me having to worry about it it's a little piece of modern luxury certainly it's not a necessity I could just easily use a regular vacuum and sometimes I do but the Roomba is just cool to have a robot go vacuum your floor you can set it like I said to schedule it it's got clock it doesn't definitely an adequate job the vacuuming in fact to rate this on a one to five on a solely of vacuum scale so comparing this to all of their handhelds probably only gets a two and a half to three but comparing this as we're giving as a score rather on an entire package so knowing what you're getting know what you're getting an automated robotic vacuum it's gotta be a five it really is just cool check out my demo if you haven't of the Roomba in action currently kind of see the neat factor to it and I know this sounds sort of silly but oftentimes I sit there and just watched the thing vacuum we're easily got I can just take the back and do it myself but it's just kind of fun to watch it's cool to see the cat chase it around and kind of bad at it and get scared and run away just enjoyable few pets they're gonna get a kick out of it or hate it one of one of the two so guys hope you enjoyed my short overview and review for you of the iRobot Roomba 560 I'll put the link in the sidebar first more information on
