Product Details	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 -- 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. Standard Features: A smart, efficient vacuum that picks up dirt, dust, pet hair and more from carpets and hard floors Cleans the whole floor, under and around furniture and along wall edges Automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again Detects dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them Spot Clean provides quick clean-up of spills and concentrated messes Automatically senses and avoids stairs and other drop-offs Simple to use!

My first Real Robot! Life Changing.

"My whole this year has been to take steps to simplify my life. The Roomba is part of that plan. Everyone that I know seems to be constantly on the go with little time to work, work out, clean or relax. We chose the 560 model because it has onboard scheduling. We set it to run every other day and for the most part, it does a great job of keeping the front hallway and downstairs clean from the common dirt and le..." Read Full Review »

Roomba does not work

"I will say the idea of Roomba is great. The implementation of the idea is poor. The product simply does not work as advertised. It does a really poor job of cleaning the floor. It consistently leaves debris on the floor. I do not have pets thererfore I am not talking about large amounts of hair. The robot continually cannot find the home base and dies somewhere in the room. The unit seems to favor the walls whil..." Read Full Review »
