Accessories for the iRobot Roomba
The makers behind this innovative and helpful piece of machinery have designed several
accessories to make work easier and simpler.
Here are some of the accessories that are available:
1. The Easy Clean Brush: this brush was made to handle households
with pet. With hair scattered all over, you can now have the robot vacuum your floors and clear it
from any form of dirt.
2. Remote Control: you can now control your Roomba’s movements while you remain
comfortably seated in your chair. This is especially handy for handicapped owners.
3. iRobot Scheduler: you can program your Roomba to clean around your schedule, even
when you’re not at home. Just set the time for work to start, and as soon as it is done cleaning, the
robot simply docks itself to the Homebase where it recharges its batteries for the next time it
cleans.
4. Homebase: the Roomba automatically returns itself to this dock so that it can
recharge its batteries.
5. Virtual Wall: this is used to keep the Roomba away from specified areas.

6. Virtual Wall Lighthouse: combines the functionality of the Virtual Wall with
the Lighthouse mode. It helps contain the Roomba in one room until it is completely vacuumed. Once the task has
been completed, it moves on to the next area.
7. OSMO: this is a dongle that attaches to the serial port. This updates a pre-2.1 Roomba's
firmware to version 2.1. It is also able to correct the "circle dance" problem that the second generation Roomba
had.
8. Advanced Power System (APS) Battery: the rechargeable battery for all models. Extends the
cleaning from 120 minutes to 200 minutes.
How the iRobot Roomba Helps its Owner
|
As you clean your house, you make sure that every spot is covered and every
piece of furniture is intact. But what happens if you also have other responsibilities to think of,
and finding an ample amount to clean is impossible? Not to fret, because the iRobot Roomba is here
to help you. You can now do your other chores because this tiny equipment can calculate the amount
of time needed to clean based on the amount of dirt detected. The infrared signals are set to
ensure that they don't bump into objects while vacuuming away the dust collected on the floors and
under the furniture.
Once cleaning has been completed, the Roomba stops and sings a few triumphant
notes. If a Home Base comes with the model, the robot detects it and docks itself to it as it
rests. All you need to do is remove the dustbin from the rear and empty it into the trash. The
later generations have an infrared remote control that can also be used to control the unit.

It is small enough to go under a bed or other low furniture. If the unit senses that it has
become stuck, it stops and makes a mournful sound so that you can look for it and reset the work.
Ever since the dawn of the iRobot Roomba models, busy homemakers can now rest easy because they know that they have
a cleaning aid that thinks for on its own.
