December 19, 2007 05:27 PM EST | Home/Kitchen Gadgets | Email to Friend
Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, this robotic floor vacuum navigates through a room all by itself while its durable, efficient brushes sweep debris towards its built-in vacuum at the touch of a button. The vacuum automatically detects when its 31" cu. dustbin is full and signals the owner with a light to empty ita feature unique to the Hammacher Schlemmer model. It can clean the floor of a 16' x 20' room with an average amount of furniture in about one hour (cleans a total of two hours per charge; approximately two rooms) without human intervention. The vacuum comes with a scheduling remote and two Virtual Wall schedulers that create an infrared beam that confines the floor vacuum to one room if desired, and lets you schedul e it to clean at up to seven preset times you choose. Twice as powerful as previous robotic floor vacuums, the units sensor detects stairs and other drop-offs, while the bumper gently redirects the unit when it encounters furniture or walls. In Spot clean mode, the vacuum concentrates on a 3' diam. area, repeatedly circling over one spot for concentrated cleaning, and it also has a max clean function for extended attention to dirty areas. Built-in dirt-sensing technology cleans more heavily-soiled areas. The unit automatically returns to its drive-on charger when its battery runs low (after two hours); additional rechargeable batteries (available below) can be purchased to extend available cleaning time. Comes with an extra brush kit and cleaning tool.
Turns off when picked up, and charges in 21/2 hours (80% faster than the previous generation). Durable wire routing. Most effective on hard floors and low-pile carpets. Black. Remote requires two AA batteries. 4 1/4" H x 13 1/2" Diam. (7 1/2 lbs.) Only available for delivery in the Continental U.S. and Canada.
