Product Description
This is the robotic vacuum that can be scheduled to navigate autonomously through your home up to seven times per week. The unit's specially designed dual, counter-rotating agitator brushes spread carpet fibers and enable the vacuum to remove hair and other detritus from low- and high-pile carpets. Sensors redirect the unit when it encounters furniture, walls, or stairs, and its anti-tangle technology reverses the rotation of the brushes when it encounters rug fringe. A remote control allows you to send the vacuum on an impromptu spot cleaning--a feature unique to the Hammacher Schlemmer model. Two virtual wall lighthouses project infrared beams that confine the vacuum to one room and allow it to move on to another room only when it has cleaned the entire surface. It cleans up to four rooms per charge and automatically returns to its drive-on charger when its battery runs low. Includes one replacement filter and two replacement brushes. Remote control requires two AA batteries and lighthouses require two C batteries. 2 1/2" H x 13" Diam. (11 3/4 lbs.)
Advanced Features:
* Automatically returns to its compact, self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleanings
* Remote Control allows you to steer and control Roomba from across the room.
* Virtual Wall® Lighthouses (2) confine Roomba to one room until the entire floor is vacuumed before Roomba moves on to the next room.
* Schedule up to seven cleaning days per week for Roomba to clean when it's most convenient for you
* Faster counter-rotating brushes with improved design pick up more hair, debris and dust and are easy to remove and clean.
* Improved filter captures more dust and allergens while a larger bin holds more debris
* Improved anti-tangle technology keeps Roomba from getting stuck on cords, carpet fringe and tassels
* Improved side brush makes Roomba even more efficient at cleaning edges and corners
* 1 Replacement Beater Brush
* 1 Replacement Bristle Brush

Help in Maintaining Roomba
By Georgia
Roomba awes me with the amount of dirt and hair found each and every day! I use it daily on an old home and discover years of dust we were breathing. The filter system really works well. My house is now vacuumed daily before I even get out of bed!Maintenance was not something I counted on so was unprepared. My hair is longer and winds around the gear shafts causing a troublesome cleanup. However, I remembered a sewing seam ripper which easily cuts through the hairs and picks them out. The best thing is the small size and availability. It is cheap and available anywhere sewing supplies are sold. It is designed to get into small areas like the left gear grove on the beater roller....no more tangled hairs now.UPDATE : After one year, I purchased the upgrade Aero-Vac bin. If your Roomba makes a "whistling" noise, hair has wrapped around the shaft, causing a drag on the brushes. The updated bin solved a lot for me. Roomba definitely simplified life for me this year. I do a lot less dusting since Roomba does a great job of getting it off floors.BEFORE THE UPDATE:I also drafted a brush to thoroughly clean the cage brush areas so the dirt doesn't get into the gears. A common shaving brush or vegetable brush (soft and round) works very well. Both items fit in a drawer for daily use.To save on the filters and insure Roomba runs to the max, I carefully rinse the red plastic filter casing under running water, making sure no water gets into any other compartments. The actual filter is also rinsed and both are allowed to completely dry (no dampness please!). After about 2 weeks of horribly dirty rooms which cause filthy filters, I discovered I could spray the filters with a common household cleaner, rinse and re-use--Saved me a lot on filters.I alternate the filters (2 came with my Roomba) which insures they are dry when reinserting.I find the 5 minutes or less of maintenace each day extends the amount of actual time Roomba efficiently cleans. My old, old carpets and floors look new again. In fact, I can see the tack boards since no dust plumps up the carpet fibers! It saved me hiring a steam cleaner or getting new carpeting.Roomba is call Matilda at our house. When she is tired and does not return to home base because a room needs an extensive cleaning, I push CLEAN on the remote and the onboard voice sends me an audible signal so I can find her and help her return home....just like the locator on a portable phone. (Great for under beds or in hidden areas). The next day she is up and cleaning my floors again while I snooze!

By J.M. Boyle
We love the Roomba. Bought the 570 Pet Series in 03/2011 because we have two dogs and were tired of vacuuming every day. We had just replaced all our carpet with hardwood and the dog hair REALLY shows up on the hard floor. CAUTION!! THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR LAZY PEOPLE! If you think you can buy this, turn it on and forget about it and have clean floors all the time you will be dissapointed. But there is a fine line between laziness and efficiency and I'm all about pushing that envelope. We let it run every day cleaning two-three rooms at a time, (about 500-600 square ft. it could probably do more) and we clean the robot after every run, that's right, EVERY run. This is important. If you do not clean this unit religiously it will fail. I've lived with long-haired women most of my life and in my experience it is the long human hair that kills vacuum cleaners. The hair wraps around moving parts, works its way into the bearings, heats up and destroys them. The beauty of the Roomba is that it is so designed that hair almost can't get into any bearings at all and it is super easy to clean. And if you clean it after each run, well, it's now late June and our Roomba, (I call him Davros) is going strong. Our floors are consistenly clean. I spend about 5-7 minutes cleaning the robot each run, a fraction of the time it takes to vacuum. There is a learning curve on that cleaning of course. I keep all the cleaning tools handy and use compressed air to blow out most of the parts. Once every week or two we move all the furniture Davros can't get under and use our stick vac on that. Oh, we use Roomba's Aerovac Bin exclusively. The regular vacuum bin leaves little piles of dog hair sometimes when it goes over a throw rug. I honestly don't know what they were thinking when they designed the regular vacuum bin, if that was all this unit had I would've sent it back! So if you have pets I recommend getting extra Aero filters and don't even bother with the regular vacuum bin. You will also have to learn what Roomba can and can't do. It does an amazingly good job of getting around and avoiding obstacles, but we have to move our ironing board and the baby's high chair, Roomba gets stuck on the horizontal tubes. It also got tangled in some computer wires. But there was no damage to the wires or Roomba. The thing is smart enough to shut off and yell for help when it gets stuck. All in all we love it.

Amazing Product
By Queen Eldest
You just can't believe how much dirt and hairs this little vacuuming robot can pick up ! It is smart and thorough. It can get stuck on some loose objects on the floor so before the robot starts, do pick up the loose electric cords or power cords from your cell phone chargers. And it does require frequent cleaning because of the relatively small capacity of the trash bin. I have been cleaning it after each weekly use. And it takes about 30 minutes to do a thorough maintenance job. Overall, I am very satisfied with its performance, and I think it is doing a better job than me, trying to cleaning the tile floor !
