iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaners
The Roomba lineup of vacuum cleaners are robotic machines from the iRobot company that can clean your home's floor by themselves. They essentially charge themselves on their charger, then either begin vacuuming at your direction or on a predetermined schedule (depending on the model). If ever there has been a 'hands off' way of cleaning your home or shop, the iRobot Roomba vacuums are it.

The vacuum cleaner can be described as a small disc with both a contact and infrared sensor on the front. These sensors let the vacuum know when it needs to move in a different direction. These vacuums are also small enough to fit under many types of furniture, to clean areas that you typically never get to.
Operation Of The Roomba Is Seemless
The latest generation of the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaners are easy to use and can also be scheduled to begin vacuuming when you are away. Imagine coming home everyday to a freshly cleaned floor. That feature alone is what attracts many people to these robot vacuums.
As they make their way around the room, the contact bumper will detect various objects like furniture and walls. Using their own technology, the Roomba cleaner will systematically move around the room picking up dust and dirt until it is done or the dustbin becomes full. It may take several passes for the vacuum to cover every part of the carpet or bare floor, but the result is a clean room without any effort on your part. If it becomes stuck while on the job it will emit a sound, alerting you to come and free it up. Check out this quick video that demonstrates the convenience of this machine.
There are various models in the Roomba lineup covering a variety of needs. Some are higher end with all of the latest features while others are more scaled down for a particular type of cleaning job. An example of this is the Dirt Dog. It is designed for shop or garage environments and it contains sweeping brushes and a larger dust collection bin. However, it does not come with the vacuum motor as it needs the extra space for the larger bin.
If you are looking for an effortless way of automatically vacuuming your home on a schedule then you should look into the Roomba vacuum cleaner lineup from iRobot. They have various vacuums for many different cleaning tasks and floor types. While they don't possess the advanced HEPA technology of other home vacuum cleaners they do have other distinct advantages. Many people feel they cannot live without their little Roomba robot and almost think of them as part of the family. This is a testament to how much thought has gone into their design.
