The Roomba 560 is a stellar robot vacuum with most of the features you'd want in a vacuum cleaner. It has multi-room navigation features, a comprehensive cleaning pattern that goes over areas more than once, and a 90-minute run time. We were disappointed...

The latest Roomba takes a while to get the job done, but it boasts a slew of new features and improvements. Unfortunately, its coolest feature, the ability to clean from room to room and then return home for recharging, proved problematic....
There are plenty of reasons to buy a Roomba. Buy it because you want to bring the day of the proper robot butler a bit closer; buy it because you like neat gadgets; buy it because youd like to own a nice piece of animatronic artwork, which is elegant...
