iRobot Dirt Dog Vacuum Cleaner Review

The Dirt Dog vacuum from iRobot is a robot cleaner based on their popular Roomba platform which is designed to clean your garage or workshop floors without your intervention. It has a series of durable brushes designed for vacuuming up large chunks of dirt and debris from hard floors while still maintaining that simple to use interface that other iRobot cleaners are known for.

A big difference between the Dirt Dog and other Roomba vacuums is the lack of a vacuum motor. It solely relies on the spinning brushes to pick the debris up and shuffle it into the oversized dirt bin. You can command these cleaners to go where you don't want to.

Other Features Of The iRobot Dirt Dog

  • Oversized, bagless dirt collection bin that is 40% larger than a standard Roomba
  • Dual rotating brushes that can pick up heavy debris like nails, screws, and other shop scraps
  • Moves in and around your garage or shop floors, to clean areas that you cannot reach with a traditional shop vacuum

Consumer reviews on the Dirt Dog are very positive with the average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars at amazon.com. Some of the comments we noticed were "this vacuum cleaner redefines easy when it comes to getting your garage or basement floors clean." and "the Roomba is not only great at vacuuming hard to reach areas but it is fun to watch as well.". People truly enjoy using their iRobot to work around their homes and workshops.

It's hard to find much fault with these vacuum cleaners. They are tough enough for your dirtiest hard floors and require very little direction from you. If you need a fun and thorough cleaner to use in your workshop or garage then the iRobot Dirt Dog is a great choice. Many people end up buying multiple Roomba robots after they get their first one, so you may like your new Dirt Dog so much that you add a couple more for the carpets around your home. Welcome to vacuuming in the 21st century.
