iRobot- Never Vacuum Again

Imagine- You're off to work. The cat is up early shedding like profusely. The dog has managed to track in the backyard early in the a.m.. iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot 5910 wakes up on time and starts to attack the dirt, hair and unwanted debris from your comfy couch for your feet some people refer to as carpet.

From the makers of sophisticated, tactical, robotic armory comes a robotic vacuum called iRobot. The technology used to fuel this robotic madness is called Roomba technology. Roomba is robotic vacuum armed with dozens of sensors to monitor the environment in which Roomba adjusts to up to 67 times per second. This robot knows where to vacuum and where not to vacuum. This means a efficient, intelligent, and safe vacuuming experience.

The Cleaning System
iRobot Roomba has a 3 stage cleaning system unlike any other. The cleaning system includes a spinning side brush to clean along walls, two counter-rotating brushes that tackle large debris, and a highly efficient vacuum which picks up small particles.


Rate of Coverage
An area four times per cleaning cycle in an average room. Roomba navigates each room and adjusts cleaning time to maximize cleaning time. Roomba has a low profiles, so cleaning under beads, sofas, and chairs is easier for this robotic genius. Cleans 850 sq. ft. in one cleaning cycle.

Recharge
At the end of each cleaning cycle, Roomba returns to its charging station to recharge. Located at the front of Roomab's bumper is a infrared receiver which sees the signal emitted by its home base. Near the end of each cleaning cycle, or when the batter is low, Roomba begins searching for the signal from home base.

Stairs
Roomba intelligently avoids stairs and cliffs with infrared sensing. While working hard picking up dirt and debris, Roomba emits an infrared signal checking to see if the signal bounces back. If the signal doesn't bounce back, Roomba will recognize a stair or cliff and immediately back away.

Along walls
Roomba has another pair of infrared sensors on each side to sense vertical obstacles. Roomba emits an infrared signal bouncing back and forth between the wall and Roomba. If the signal doesn't bounce back, Roomba notices the lost wall and redirects itself. Cleaning around and under furniture is now easier than ever.

This automatic sensing means no programing. iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot 5910 programs itself by learning individual floor plans.
