External Features Of iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Machine

The iRobot 560 Roomba vacuuming robotic cleaner is round in shape and weighs about 8 pounds. The machine has big, round wheels that come with its own motor and suspension system. The wheels are large enough to hold the machine higher off the ground which is needed to work effectively on plush carpets and area rugs. The new iRobot Roomba 560 also has a bigger dust bin capacity than its predecessor and is able to collect about 33 percent more dust than the earlier model. The bottom of the vacuum contains the brush guard and two cylindrical brushes apart from the two larger wheels. The soft and the bristled cylindrical brushes are the ones that directs the dirt, grime and the dust towards the vacuum and into the dustbin. The dust collector bin consists of two compartments, one is the main dustbin and the other is the filter compartment where the fine dust particles get collected. The caster wheel at the front of the Roomba is the one that enables the robot to turn 360 degrees. The spinning brush that is used to get at the dust and debris has six spokes and works effectively in hard to reach corners and nooks.
