Accessories that Go with the iRobot Roomba
from: ConsumerEvidence.comThe makers behind this innovative and helpful piece of machinery have designed several accessories to make work easier and simpler. Here are some of the supplementary materials that you can avail of:
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.
