Roomba Intelligent Sweeper Vac
Push one button and this self-propelled, self-navigating sweeper-vac covers your
entire floor, freeing you to work or relax elsewhere. Because it works around
obstacles as it sweeps, it provides a truly effortless way to stay on top of
daily touch-up floor care.
• Simple to Use
Just press one button to tell the unit what size room it is about to clean:
small, medium or large. The sweeper-vac methodically covers your floor, moving
from carpeted to hard surfaces seamlessly. When it finishes-up to 50 minutes
later on the "large" setting-it turns itself off.
• Cleans Thoroughly
The sweeper-vac's brushes scoop debris into the dust cup like a traditional
sweeper, and a built-in vacuum helps pick up finer dirt like pet hair, trapping
dust inside instead of circulating it. A wide, spinning side brush also cleans
right along the base of a wall. In fact, it can clean more areas than a handheld
sweeper, because it is compact enough to slip under coffee tables, beds and
kitchen kickboards. Its self-adjusting sweeper heads even compensate
automatically for uneven floors.
• Navigates Intelligently
It begins its rounds in a spiral pattern, but when its non-marring bumper
encounters an obstacle, it adjusts until it finds a clear path. An internal
sensor detects drop-offs like stairs, and it turns to avoid them. The included
"virtual wall" creates an infrared beam the unit will not cross; placed in a
doorway, the beam constrains the sweeper to one room, or it divides a large room
in half. Either way, the sweeper-vac will "bump" off the beam as if it were a
wall.
• Safe and Portable
The sweeper-vac turns off when picked up, so it's safe near children and pets.
At 7 1/2 pounds, it can be easily picked up by its handle and ported to another
room. Rechargeable battery lasts up to 90 minutes per charge. Battery life
indicator displays available charge. Includes two replacement filters
Price includes Roomba, Virtual Wall, two replacement filters and all batteries.
testimonials:
"We purchased the Roomba Floor Vac Robot from
the Sharper Image in West Palm Beach, Fl. I looked for reviews on the Internet,
but I guess it's just too new. I have been thoroughly impressed by the Roomba's
ability to clean around a myriad of obstacles. The little Roomba has no problem
going around each piece of furniture and it really does a great job. You don't
realize how dirty your floors are until you empty the pickup container. It
always looks full, even when your floor looks clean. I predict this little
vacuum will become a big success. It does exactly what it says it will do. It
truly is an innovative product that will help everyone with the mundane task of
cleaning floors."

"I just picked up the Roomba Floor Vac Robot this morning from the Sharper Image
store in Bellevue, Washington. I have charged it and going to play with it
tonight. It not only does a remarkable job navigating furniture and walls, it
does a pretty good on the floors too. It's kind of like watching a new puppy
explore the home. It just wanders around. Eventually it vacuums the whole room.
It’s amazing how smart and effective it is. A very, very clever and surprisingly
practical application of technology."

"I just got my Roomba Floor Vac Robot after an impatient wait of 3 weeks. After
one use I can tell that I LOVE IT!! It is surprisingly powerful for such a small
unit .It picks up all the normal debris, a lot of dust, and a ton of cat hair
with just a single cleaning! I am now anxiously waiting for the battery to
recharge so I can have at it again. Finally a robot that really works!"

"I got a Roomba Floor Vac Robot for my birthday two weeks ago. I charged it up
overnight, and then vacuumed the family room (15 X 23 feet, tight weave carpet),
kitchen (11 X 18 feet, tile), and the guest room (11 X 13 feet, medium nap
carpet). I turned it on in a room and left. It took about 12-15 minutes in the
family room picking up dog hairs, rubber bands, dust, etc. It worked excellent.
It performed well in the kitchen and bedroom as well. Even the kids are now
picking up their rooms to be ‘robot ready’. It bumps and rotates around objects,
randomly covering the entire floor. A really terrificdevice, at a really
terrific price."

"My wife and I saw the good reviews of the Roomba Floor Vac Robot in USA Today
and other media sources so we went to Sharper Image and watched a demo. With the
salesman assuring us that we could return the product within 60 days if it
didn’t work, and an inexpensive three-year warranty with the price being under
$200, we were excited to give the Roomba a try.
"Well, we have to say, this is one product that exceeded our expectations, no
kidding. I'm a senior software consultant of Windows, Macintosh and Linux, and I
am impressed by the way the developers were able to calculate 100% coverage in
all kinds of spaces. What blew me away completely is when I watched it clean
under our bed with all of its tight spaces and supports. Who moves the bed to
clean more than once every 5 years? When you first get it you are fascinated to
watch it. You cheer it on, watch as it spins and cleans tight corners; you groan
when it misses a spot then cheer when it comes back later and cleans that spot.
We love this product and will recommend it to everyone! Thanks."
