iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaner – Remanufactured
iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaner – Remanufactured – This is a re-manufactured version of this great machine. No quality has been sacrificed, however, as this robot comes fully backed by a 90 day limited warranty from iRobot.As a member of our latest generation of robots, the iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaning Robot features the newest innovations for dramatically improved performance, reliability and durability. On-board scheduling allows you to preset up to seven cleaning times per week for Roomba to clean when it’s most convenient for you â?” whether you’re at home or on the go. Roomba systematically cleans four rooms on a single charge, gets into hard-to-reach areas like wall edges and beneath furniture, avoids stairs and other drop offs and automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again. Each Virtual Wall® Lighthouse┢ (2 included) confines Roomba to one room until the entire floor is vacuumed before Roomba moves on to the next room. When its battery is runn

Useful but lacking intelligence,
Let me start out by saying i love this thing and if you have any doubts about the roomba product in general, do yourself a favor and buy one. It is a must have if you have an apartment or studio and don’t have the time or the energy to sweep.
The product works as advertised and cleans up everything that a broom would get. Its even better because it can get under some furniture and requires little work on your part. I say little work because there are some things that can really cripple the roomba.
For one thing, the cliff sensor technology does not work. I have to use a virtual wall (included w/o batteries) to stop the roomba from going into my bathroom. The bathroom is set a few inches below the rest of the apartment and without the wall, the roomba would drive over this edge- but will not be able to climb back out.
The other thing that totally cripples the roomba are plastic bags and wires. The roomba will totally choke on plastic bags, and then get those bags caught in its wheels. It will struggle to get out continuously until it runs out of battery life. The roomba will also suck up cables and wires on the floor, like laptop or cell phone charging cables. It will not let these go but it will continue cleaning and driving around like a dog on a leash until it runs out of battery.
Finally, it has a tendency to move things like shoes or clothes on the floor all around the apartment (and under furniture).
In order to use this thing, you need to make sure that the floor is clear of the obstacles mentioned above and that the virtual walls are in place. I have the roomba scheduled to clean everyday shortly after I leave the apartment in the morning. Before I leave, I have to make sure the shoes are in the closet, clothes in laundry, and cables and wires on the table – otherwise I will come home to find the roomba lying dead somewhere on the floor rather than sitting idly on the charging base.
I recommend the product but I believe that iRobot has its work cut out for it to make future roombas even more hassle free and convenient.

|Refurbished not a bad deal,
worked fine, still works fine. I just had to replace the battery after 2 1/2 years. If you bitch about your Roomba going bad early, they’ll sell you a brand new one for much less than even a refurbed unit with free freight. Great company

|Roomba 560,
We bought a refurbished 560 1 year ago. Then we bought my mother one for Christmas. Then my daughter bought one. My other daughter already had one. They are the real deal. They clean well, work well and keep us entertained. It took us a few months to stop watching it do its thing and go do something else. That is why you buy this machine. If it dies tomorrow I will go buy another. It is that good. My mother who is over 80 likes it a lot and she is a clean person. Likes things tidy. She has heard most of her life about how robots are going to do our work and she really never believed it and now it has come true for her. I think this amazed her. She lost it under her bed and could not find it. She called me and said it was like loosing a kid in the supermarket. I am telling you, we all like these iRobots a lot. Go get yourself one. Just do not expect more then it can deliver. Clean and empty it often. Why are you sitting here reading this. Go order one.
