Review of the Roomba 560

Roomba560

Roomba 560 is the top in the third and latest generation of robotic vacuum cleaners from iRobot, and after only a few weeks after having the it, you get used to having it.
In addition to the vacuum cleaner included additional filters, a brush-cleaning gadget and two battery powered devices which can operate either as virtual walls or a beacon which indicates the start of a new room.

Forget the logic
When i clean myself it happens from one end but you see Roomba with that logic, you are quickly disappointed. Roomba apparently drives around on its own with no real system.
But the end result is nevertheless that it cleans everywhere - even under the sofa, the chair legs and along the kitchen cupboards - it just takes time.
But if you program the Roomba to do its job a few times a week, while you are away, it is irrelevant how much Roomba drives arround

Charges itself
When it is complete, or lacks power, the Roomba drives back back to its charger. Just like it says if the dust container is full.
Vacuum cleaning takes place by means of rotating brushes, which are complemented by traditional suction.

And after the first trip at my home, the Roomba had eaten itself sated in crumbs, dirt, coins, paper clips, plastic caps and other small claims.
Doghair and high carpets is not a problem - and if the Roomba gets stuck, which typically happens a few times in the beginning before it has been stripped of loose wires and the like, so stop it, instead of burning holes in the carpet and keep the wheels spinning.
