With its updated cleaning system and coverage patterns, the Roomba 510 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 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 dust bin, and its improved filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit.

For added convenience, the vacuum's cleaning head automatically adjusts to transition from wood, tile, and linoleum to carpets and rugs, while improved anti-tangle technology ensures it won't get stuck on cords and rug fringe. If the unit begins to pick up a cord or carpet tassel, it will automatically reverse the direction of its brushes to extract the item. A gentle-touch bumper system senses obstacles so the vacuum automatically slows its approach, gently touches the obstacle, then redirects to continue cleaning under or around the object. Because it cleans under beds, couches, and other hard-to-reach areas, it actually vacuums more of the floor than a standard upright. The vacuum also senses dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them, and it uses built-in cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other drop-offs. In addition, invisible barriers can be set using the unit's Virtual Wall system (requires two D batteries). To mark off-limit areas, simply place a Virtual Wall at a doorway or other opening and adjust the infrared beam setting to the distance of the opening. The unit automatically detects the beam and will not cross it.

Customer Reviews

Really helps around the house!
Having read some really nasty reviews, I wasn't expecting much when I first turned this thing on. I have to say, I was pleasantly impressed. This vacuum certainly doesn't replace the job of a conventional vacuum cleaner, but it actually comes pretty close. It's really convenient when you don't have much time, and it especially helps to tidy up the house when you have company coming. Since you need to clear some things off the floor, it forces you to tidy up that way, while at the same time the Roomba does the dirty work and cleans the floor. It's cleaning under my bed as I type...Give it a try, I think it's worth a shot; Though I don't recommend you buying any upgraded versions unless you're willing to pay around 100$ more for a feature that lets you set up the vacuum on a scheduled basis.

Never sweep again!
I love turning on my Roomba, and doing something else while it sweeps/vacuums my floors. Doesn't pick up everything, but 90% is pretty good, and I can just run it again the next day. The most important thing is, I don't sweep/vacuum anymore!
