Product Description
Life happens in busy homes, and keeping up with accumulating dirt, dust, pet hair, crumbs, and debris can be a daily challenge. Introducing the iRobot Roomba 560- a member of iRobot’s newest generation of Roomba Vacuuming Robots.

Now there’s a better way to maintain cleaner floors every day. With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, particle filtration, and scheduling capabilities, the Roomba 560 picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris from your floors with the touch of a button--so you don’t have to.

The Roomba 560 even cleans on schedule when it’s most convenient for you. Use the on-board scheduling system to easily program up to seven days and times per week for Roomba to vacuum--whether you’re at home or on the go. The Roomba 560 also offers the most efficient room-to-room cleaning available using two innovative, new Virtual Wall Lighthouses.

With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 560 vacuuming robot picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. The powerful unit features innovative spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other debris from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy-to-empty bagless dustbin, and its improved fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   December 3, 2008
Bought this as my birthday gift to help out around the house. This was the best money I ever spent for a gift. I have a Dyson that now sits in a closet. "Roberta" cleans my house every day then goes and plugs herself in. Just ordered a 530 roomba and a 340 Scooba for Christmas. Highly recommended!


4 out of 5 stars Part toy. Part vacuum.   December 2, 2008
I guess I've been lucky. My Roomba is one year old, and hasn't failed yet. I've had no problems with the battery or motor. I do know people that have had their's fail. I guess it's hit or miss. My wife loves the Roomba. She lets it do its thing, and sits and reads the paper. It seems to do a decent job, but nowhere near as good as real vacuum cleaner. I'm constantly having to clean out cat hair and string from inside the brush area, and eventually vacuuming with the upright vacuum. I'm not sure just vacuuming with a regular vacuum might be just as easy. But, it's fun to watch, and it does a decent job doing a quick cleanup. Don't expect it to replace your old vacuum though.


1 out of 5 stars Staw away   December 2, 2008
I have now tried several different models and I can honestly say you are better giving your money to charity. For one, The Customer Service is truly lousy..doesnt matter what the issue is, they just dont care and appear to want to make things very difficult. Most of the models I tried, I loved the first week. Cool device that does a great job of cleaning the floors....The 2 major problems....The amount of time it takes to properly clean and service the unit is far too long..You cant run this for a week, every other day and then clean it...it must be cleaned and "serviced" after every single use and frankly, it takes me less time to vaccum then it does to clean this unit properly after EVERY use.....Of course this isnt really a problem since most every model I tried, had "issues" after 1 - 3 weeks. Brushes breaking...Unit making crazy noises....units stop working and have to be re-set.....stops cleaning well after 1 or 2 weeks and that is even with you cleaning the unit after each use.....One or two simply died.......To be honest, I would not buy ANY model for $20, let alone the riduclous prices they charge.....To me, that is akin to paying for problems. Why would I pay $1 for anything that is only going to have one issue after another until you end up with an expensive, dead unit. Heck, if I received one of these as a gift I would not even open the box...I would probably take it to goodwill and take the tax write off rather then using the unit which will only cause my blood pressure to rise....If the units only had minor problems and continued to work, that would be OK...But it is one issue after another until it simply dies and customer service blows you off for the umpteenth time....STAY AWAY...You are flushing your money down the drain if you buy any of these models. Maybe by the year 2020 they will have gotten the MANY KINKS/IDSSUES worked out...


4 out of 5 stars Worth it!!!   December 2, 2008
The roomba is worth the price. I even bought several extra attachemnts because of other revies saying thier brushes broke off. I havent had this problem yet, or any problem for that matter for the 6 months I have owned it.
It does take a while to vaccum everything but I dont really care cause Im not doing any work! It also forces me clean up since the floor really needs to be clear of toys and other small objects before you start vaccumming.
If you use the robot everyday and keep your floors relativly clean then you ususally dont need to empty the dirt out except at the end of its work...if you have a floor like mine, usually it needs to be emptied every 20 minutes or so.
My 2 year old son loves this thing, although i wish he didnt, he is rough with it but if he cant break it, then its gotta be durable!



1 out of 5 stars It broke TWICE within 11 months of use   November 29, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Worked okay until it broke. We own ONE dog. We cleaned it after every run. We ran it in one room every 3 days (where we and the dog played the most). It ran in the whole house every 10 days or so. Not high usage, just average. The dog hair would get INSIDE the motor housing unit. I kept getting "please remove and clean roomba's brushes". It wouldn't run. It had been 5 months of usage. I called, got a new motor no problem. They told me I could take apart the old one since I had a new one on the way. I did, found all this dog hair inside the gears and inside the motor. Got out what I could and it ran for another month. Same thing happened, "please remove and clean...." Replaced it with the new motor. Same thing happened, "please remove and clean...." My husband bought it in November for a Christmas present, so now it is November, warranty is expired. Paid $500 for it and more for all kinds of parts for it (brushes, filters, etc.). Now it is useless. I certainly don't want to buy another, spend $500 for a one year life. It was great while it worked but to not be able to handle ONE dog?
