Smart and Efficient Roomba 560 calculates the appropriate cleaning time and pattern for each room and adjusts its behavior over 67 times per second to achieve the most thorough cleaning result. On average, Roomba covers every part of the floor four times! A gentle-touch bumper system senses obstacles so Roomba automatically slows its approach, gently touches the obstacle, then redirects to continue cleaning under or around the object. Because it cleans under furniture, Roomba actually vacuums more of the floor than a standard upright can--and you dont even have to push it around. Two Virtual Wall Lighthouses ensure the most efficient room-to-room cleaning. Set each to Lighthouse mode to ensure that Roomba cleans one room in its entirely before moving on to the next. Set it to Virtual Wall mode to create an infrared beam at door openings and other off-limit areas that Roomba will not cross. The vacuum's advanced power system consists of a fast-charging battery, a three-hour charger, and a power source that supercharges the unit for up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning, covering about three to four average-size rooms on a single charge. When the battery is low or when Roomba has completed a cleaning cycle, it automatically returns to the self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge. As a member of the newest generation of Roomba innovations, Roomba 560 features a more powerful vacuum and redesigned high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up more dirt, pet hair, dander, cat litter, crumbs, leaves, and other debris. Features * A powerful vacuum: Two counter-rotating brushes and a powerful vacuum remove dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris from your carpets and floors * Robot intelligence: Navigates throughout your home, cleaning under and around furniture, covering each area an average of four times * Avoids off-limit areas: Virtual Walls tell Roomba where to clean by restricting off-limit areas * Efficient room-to-room cleaning: Lighthouses ensure thorough completion of one room before vacuuming the next * Self-charging and docking: Automatically returns to its Home Base to dock and recharge between cleanings * Detects dirt: Senses dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them * Cleans beneath furniture: Cleans under tables, beds, chairs, and other hard-to-reach places * Edge-cleaning capability: Follows wall edges and reaches deep into corners to remove dust, dirt, and debris * Self-adjusting cleaning head: Automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again * Light-touch bumpers: Roomba slowly approaches obstacles, gently touches them, then redirects to clean around them * Anti-tangle system: Roomba effectively extracts itself if it picks up cords, carpet fringe, or tassels * Simple operation: Roomba keeps itself charged and ready to go--simply press the Clean button and Roomba does the rest * Whats in the box: 1 iRobot Roomba 560, 2 Virtual Wall Lighthouses (each requires 2 C batteries, not included), 1 self-charging Home Base, 1 power supply (3-hour charge time), 1 brush cleaning tool, 1 rechargeable battery, 1 extra filter

Don't know when Consumers last reviewed this but the Roomba gets high marks from me. I understand it has gotten much better since the first version. Does it get every nook and cranny? No. But I LOVE my Roomba. A little bit of prep and I don't spend an hour vacuuming my house. Plus it gets cleaned more often because the Roomba is so easy to use.
I have the 530 model. It comes with two virtual walls. Also has a spot clean mode. Set it down in the middle of a mess and it does a spiral motion that gets it all.
So far after a month of use I have had no problems. I have a dog and it works well on pet hair. Remember to empty it after each cleaning and clean the brushes once in a while. (although if they get too clogged it will beep to let you know they need cleaning. Very well designed and easy to use.
A special plus if you are physically disabled as I am. It saves me much energy and back ache. My floors get cleaned twice a week now instead of every two weeks.....
