 WOW, It Really Works and Makes Life Easier August 30, 2010
J. Julian (Sulphur Springs, TX)
I have had my Roomba 560 vacuum for a couple of weeks now. It was well packaged and came with a quick-start guide. I charged the vacuum over night as suggested to make sure it was fully charged. Once charged, I programmed it to vacuum the house at noon on every week day. All of the floors in my house are black granite, oak wood laminate, and ceramic tile. I have one Bombay cat so naturally I am going to have some short black hair on the floors along with some cat litter and the normal dust and grit that I track in on a daily basis.
This Roomba 560 really does a great job and is very thorough. Once can not help but be fascinated by Roomba's deliberate travels across the floors. It is really fun to watch. Since my cat is un-nerved by it, it makes it even that much more fun. It comes with two Lighthouses. I use one as a virtual wall to block it from going into the kitchen, and I use the other as a Lighthouse to divide a room. The Roomba 560 cleans one room for about 25 minutes before moving to the next room. The Roomba 560 can do my small house in one charge. When it is done, it does a few circle to orient itself and then locks onto the docking station where it goes and parks to charge itself for tomorrow. It has never failed to find the docking station.
Cleaning the Roomba is a snap. I clean it every day and it takes me all of about 5 minutes. The Roomba 560 was made to be taken apart. The brushes are easily removed and the filter is easily cleaned. I keep canned air around to blow our the filter and the back cartridge that contains the debris that it picks up. It is so simple! I read in some other reviews that the brushes break quickly so I bought extras. So far, none have broken.
I am really really pleased at how well it works. I love coming home to clean floors on a daily basis. The purchase of the Roomba560 feels like the first step into the world of the Jetsons.
No regrets here. If I had it to do all over again, I would still buy it!
 Neato XV-11 (laser-guided robot) seems to be a better choice. August 29, 2010

Roomba 560 seems to be working ok, but I just discovered that the robot called Neato XV-11 has been released a few months ago.
Unlike Roomba that just follows random motion across the room and takes an hour to clean it, XV-11 first creates a map of the room via its laser beams and then gradually vacuums it -- lane by lane through a very logical route and in just 15 minutes.
So, know your options!
(I didn't know it myself when I was shopping for robotic vacuum cleaners.)
