iRobot's Latest Robot Cleans Around Your Schedule

Filed under category: Household | Robots

Self-cleaning vacuum not enough for you, you say? You need it to turn itself on and off too? That may sound a bit absurd to most folks, but not to iRobot. The company just introduced the iRobot Roomba Scheduler Robotic Floorvac, a robot that automatically vacuums floors on a schedule you set. The latest addition to iRobot's popular line of Roomba Discovery Robotic Floorvacs allows people to program the new robot to clean floors at a certain time each day, seven days a week.

The company also announced a new accessory for iRobot Roomba owners. The Scheduler pack updates the software in Roomba Discovery series models, thereby adding new scheduling functionality to their existing robots. With more than 1.2 million units sold since its introduction in 2002, iRobot claims that its award-winning Roomba Robotic Floorvac is the most successful consumer robot in history.
