This is not your Grandma's Roomba. This is a special edition Roomba that is a bit more beefier than the standard ones. What makes this one special is just two key elements. The first being the longer and stiffer bristles on the brush heads. This three brush system has been specifically designed to pick up heavy and stubborn materials. Pet hair is grabbed up very quickly and will not get all clogged up on the brush heads on this model. The second big improvement is the 40% larger bin in the vacuum. This allows the unit to pick up larger and just more volume materials. This model however is not for use on plush carpets. The longer brush bristles may keep it from moving along properly. It does work great on all wood floors,tile,marble,decks,brick walkways/patios,concrete,garage floors and even indoor/outdoor carpeting.
This iRobot Dirt Dog like all Roombas operates very simply by just pressing one button. You press it and off it goes! It will travel all over your floors and go back to the spots its missed. It keeps track of where its been and knows where it needs to go next. It has a special sensor the keeps it from falling over the edge of stairs or differing levels of floors. It also has a built in bumper guard sensor that when bumped will cause the vacuum to back away and work its way around objects like chairs and table legs along with walls and any obstructions. The unit is easily charged with the included charger..just plug it in and it will be fully charged overnight.
I watched a full demo presentation at my local Lowes store where they had a few different iRobot Roombas and this model Dirt Dog featured. These are in no way a replacement for your full sized vacuum. If you have alotta kids and pets and just general constant dirt accumulation in your home you will still need to drag out your standard vacuum on a regular basis.These Roombas do a have their place. They work great to "tidy up" and also to keep dirt and debris from piling up in between regular vacuuming cycles.
