Life happens in busy homes, and keeping up with accumulating dirt, dust, pet hair, crumbs, and debris can be a daily challenge. Introducing the iRobot Roomba 560- a member of iRobot's newest generation of Roomba Vacuuming Robots.
Now there's a better way to maintain cleaner floors every day. With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, particle filtration, and scheduling capabilities, the Roomba 560 picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris from your floors with the touch of a button--so you don't have to.
The Roomba 560 even cleans on schedule when it's most convenient for you. Use the on-board scheduling system to easily program up to seven days and times per week for Roomba to vacuum--whether you're at home or on the go. The Roomba 560 also offers the most efficient room-to-room cleaning available using two innovative, new Virtual Wall Lighthouses.
With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 560 vacuuming robot picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. The powerful unit features innovative spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other debris from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy-to-empty bagless dustbin, and its improved fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.

Almost worthless:
I strongly recommend against buying this product, especially if you live in a home with rugs or flooring that are dark, stairs, hinged doors that can't be fastened open, or power cords, and all people and pets living with you aren't bald. An older model may work better for you.
My wife and I owned a previous version of Roomba, and it worked pretty well. It's main drawback was that it couldn't clean dark rugs because it can't tell the difference between them and stairs, and so it backed away every time... more info
The next household timesaver!:
I have had the iRoomba for 6 months now, it is nothing short of wonderful. My floors are now cleaner than ever and cleaned nearly every day. What I find most remarkable is its ability to find dust, even when it starts out on a what looks like a clean floor it always fills its dust catcher. The operation of the machine is very simple, simply press the button.

nice helper:
A little loud, but works great. Even the Cat likes it! It does have a hard time finding the base every now and then, but worth it to not having to vacuum weekly
Excellent Performance:
The Roomba 560 was a gift for my son. He is a neat freak at his condo. A great housekeeper. The Roomba was able to demonstrate a deeper cleaning along walls than he was able to do. The fact that his unit is so automatic and does a complete cleaning of his 2300 square foot warehouse condo on the battery charge is really amazing. With my son's busy schedule and lifestyle, this was a perfect gift to free up some time he would have otherwise spent doing, routine cleaning. I will be buying one for myself since... more info
