You can now focus on your other responsibilities while you leave the cleaning entirely on your iRobot Roomba. This Robotic Vacuum will be your new dirt patrol. It picks up dust and dirt while you work. So what else can it do? Here is a list of its responsibilities

* It will effectively vacuum dirt, debris, pet hair, dust, allergens and more from carpets and hard wooden floors.

* The counter rotating Bristle Brush and Beater Brush work hand in hand, much like a conventional dustpan and broom

* The sturdy Bristle Brush is able to dig deep into carpet fibers so that your rig is free of dirt and dust. No more dust mites for you!

* The powerful vacuum grabs small and large chunks into its bin.

* The fine filter traps particles to ensure that they don't go back out.

* It will clean the entire floor, even under furniture and hard-to-reach corner.

* It is able to detect dirtier areas and will spend more time cleaning them.

* The Spot Clean quick wipes out spills and concentrated mess.

* It can automatically sense ledges so that it avoids them. You know that your Roomba won't fall off and break with these sensors built in.

* The only kind of work required from you is to press the Clean button while Roomba worries about the rest

* It automatically will return to its self-charging Homebase to dock and recharge between cleaning tasks.

* The anti-tangle technology keeps Roomba from getting stuck.

* It is able to schedule cleaning. All you need to do is add the optional Wireless Command Center.

The makers behind this innovative and helpful piece of machinery have designed several accessories to make work easier and simpler. Here are some of the supplementary materials that you can avail of:

1. The Easy Clean Brush: this brush was made to handle households with pet. With hair scattered all over, you can now have the robot vacuum your floors and clear it from any form of dirt.

2. Remote Control: you can now control your Roomba's movements while you remain comfortably seated in your chair. This is especially handy for handicapped owners.

3. iRobot Scheduler: you can program your Roomba to clean around your schedule, even when you're not at home. Just set the time for work to start, and as soon as it is done cleaning, the robot simply docks itself to the Homebase where it recharges its batteries for the next time it cleans.

4. Homebase: the Roomba automatically returns itself to this dock so that it can recharge its batteries.

5. Virtual Wall: this is used to keep the Roomba away from specified areas.

6. Virtual Wall Lighthouse: combines the functionality of the Virtual Wall with the
Lighthouse mode. It helps contain the Roomba in one room until it is completely vacuumed. Once the task has been completed, it moves on to the next area.

7. OSMO: this is a dongle that attaches to the serial port. This updates a pre-2.1 Roomba's firmware to version 2.1. It is also able to correct the "circle dance" problem that the second generation Roomba had.

8. Advanced Power System (APS) Battery: the rechargeable battery for all models. Extends the cleaning from 120 minutes to 200 minutes.

As you clean your house, you make sure that every spot is covered and every piece of furniture is intact. But what happens if you also have other responsibilities to think of, and finding an ample amount to clean is impossible? Not to fret, because the iRobot Roomba is here to help you. You can now do your other chores because this tiny equipment can calculate the amount of time needed to clean based on the amount of dirt detected. The infrared signals are set to ensure that they don't bump into objects while vacuuming away the dust collected on the floors and under the furniture.

Once cleaning has been completed, the Roomba stops and sings a few triumphant notes. If a Home Base comes with model, the robot detects it and docks itself to it as it rests. All you need to do is remove the dustbin from the rear and empty it into the trash. The later generations have an infrared remote control that can also be used to control the unit.
The Roomba, however, is not designed for deep-pile carpet. It is small enough to go under a bed or other low furniture. If the unit senses that it has become stuck, it stops and makes a mournful sound so that you can look for it and reset the work.

Ever since the dawn of the iRobot Roomba models, busy homemakers can now rest easy because they know that they have a cleaning aid that thinks for on its own.

The makers behind this technology have made sure that using the iRobot Roomba is easy. Just to prove to you how simple it is, take a look at the steps:

1. The iRobot Roomba 535 must first be carried to wherever you would like to start.

2. Then, pressing the Power button.

3. Press the Clean or Spot button, depending on which type of cleaning you prefer.

4. Included in the Roomba is a Dock button that allows the owner to instruct the robot to dock with its Homebase.

5. There is also the Scheduler accessory which allows the robot to begin cleaning automatically at the desired time set by the owner.

6. When the Clean or Spot button is pressed, the Roomba starts its work.

The contact bumper installed in the machine is able to detect walls and furniture so that it does not bump into it or break anything. The Virtual Walls can also be used to limit the areas. The infrared signal set by the Walls tells the Roomba which areas to cover. The infrared sensors found at the bottom of the unit prevent the mechanism from falling off stairs and ledges. They also have additional dirt sensors that detect dirty spots so that these areas can be cleaned thoroughly.

The design is based on the philosophy of Rodney Brooks, an MIT researcher and iRobot CTO. He believes that robots should be like insects that are equipped with simple control mechanisms tuned to their environments. The result behind this principle is the best cleaning aid that any household could possibly have.
