Good Points

Press the button and leave the house. This little machine will vacuum for you, and then return to its charging point when the job is done.


Bad Points

It isn't a full-powered vacuum cleaner, has a small capacity dust box, and the brushes are easily tangled.


General Comments

This iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaning Robot is an excellent little machine does exactly what it says on the box - it vacuums your floor while you are doing something more interesting. What it lacks in power it makes up for by spending a good half hour on a room 16 feet square, and it also detects particularly dirty spots and spends extra time on them.

The payoff for this is finicky maintenance. A recorded voice will frequently ask you to untangle the brushes or empty the dust box, and mine has a nasty habit of shutting doors after entering rooms and trapping itself where it can't get at the charging point.

Getting the best out of the machine is easy, though. Just use it every day.

Press 'clean' every time you leave the house or go to bed or want to annoy the dog, and let it get on with the job. Even if, like me, you have animals in your house, a daily vacuum with this machine is more than enough.
