iRobot Presents Roomba Pet And Professional Vacuum Cleaning Robots

iRobot Corp. today introduced the newest additions to its line of vacuum cleaning robots, the iRobot® Roomba® Pet Series Vacuum Cleaning Robot and the iRobot® Roomba® Professional Series Vacuum Cleaning Robot. Engineered and designed with pet owners in mind, the new iRobot Roomba 532 and 562 Pet Series Robots pick up even more pet hair and dander with the help of higher capacity sweeper bins and additional accessories. The new iRobot Roomba 610 Professional Series Robot cleans even the largest of areas, perfect for maintaining office spaces or large high traffic areas.

Help for Hairy Homes

The new Roomba Pet Series Vacuum Cleaning Robots make caring for a home with pets easier. The Pet Series robots come equipped with an extra set of easy to clean brushes, a high capacity sweeper bin for trapping even more pet hair, kitty litter or dander and cleaning tools for ensuring both sets of brushes remain free of debris so they can perform optimally. The sweeper bin holds three-and-a-half times more debris than the vacuum bin, and counter-rotating brushes reach deep into carpets to pull out pet hair and dander. The new iRobot Roomba Pet Series Robots are available immediately in the U.S. and range in price from $349 to $399. Read the rest of this entry »

iRobot Scooba 385 Floor Washing Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Review

iRobot’s award-winning floor washing robot gets floors reliably clean every time. The Scooba 385 cleans up to 80 square meters (3-4 average size rooms) on a single battery charge.

iRobot Scooba navigates through each room using a 4-stage cleaning system to gently and efficiently clean sealed wood, tile and linoleum floors. Scooba preps, washes, scrubs and then squeegees hard floors, cleaning the entire area, under and around furniture and along wall and cabinet edges while automatically avoiding carpets, stairs and drop-offs.

iRobot 500 Series Roomba Vacuum-Cleaning Robot with On-Board Scheduling

Scooba alternates between spiralling, wall following, and room crossing, so on average will pass over the same area of the floor 5 times! To ensure a thorough clean Scooba squeegees up dirty water, debris and germs and can be used with 60 ml of white vinegar per full tank, or just plain tap water to remove up to 96% of common household bacteria in a single pass.

Be sure to follow your floor manufacturers’ cleaning recommendations to avoid damage to floors. Do not use Scooba on unsealed wood, unsealed stone (such as marble), or laminate flooring.
