iRobot has upgraded its series of robotic vacuum cleaners. The company says it has sold over two million of the robot vacuums to date. Here are some of the new features in the new 500 series of Roombas.
A solid, heavy-duty design featuring modular components for enhanced durability and easy servicing
Anti-tangle technology so Roomba can extract itself from tassels and cord tangles
iRobot's proprietary built-in, light-touch intelligent sensing system that can detect when Roomba is approaching a wall or obstacle and automatically slow the robot for a gentler impact and quieter operation
One-button activation, simply press "clean" and go
A built-in voice tutorial for new users that demonstrates Roomba's features right out of the box
A new mobility platform that allows Roomba to travel on thicker carpets, climb higher thresholds, and transition easily between floor surfaces
New re-designed dustbin holds significantly more debris
Colorful faceplates in white, steel blue, champagne, burnt orange, silver, charcoal, and chestnut so people can personalize Roomba to match their style
The new Roombas range in price from $249 to $399. More specifications and details about the new Roombas can be found on Amazon.com and on the iRobot website. The new Roombas come with different faceplates but you can also personalize your Romba with a Roomba costume from MyRoomBud. They appear to have added some new costumers since we last blogged about them. YouTube is a good place to catch a Roomba in action if you are curious how it works. Some of the videos also show how pets interact with the device. There are over 900 Roomba videos currently on YouTube.
