This particular model also has enhanced navigation, automatic recharging, and a larger dustbin collector with extra filter.

Important Features Of iRobot Roomba 555

Design Features

The iRobot Roomba 555 robotic vacuum cleaner now comes with enhanced design and the machine is rounder than its previous models. The color combination of silver on the top and black color on the base and sides gives it a classic look. The machine is just 8 cm tall and therefore it will be able to easily move under beds, furniture, couches, curtains and any other hard to reach low area. It is an ideal device to use at home if you suffer from allergens. It is one of the best inexpensive robot vacuums especially when it comes to pet hair removal. If you would like your home to look sparkling clean and spotless, then Roomba 555 is a must buy.

Battery Life  

One of the important features of Roomba 555 robotic vacuum cleaner is that it has the capacity to clean 4 rooms in just one single charge of the battery. Another important function is that the vacuum will return on its own to its charging base. It will dock and connect to the charger once it senses that its battery is about to finish. Once the machine obtains the full charge, it will immediately move to a room or the spot where it has left the cleaning process and will continue the cleaning from there. Once the machine completes its full cleaning process, it will automatically go to the charging base.

Convenience Features 

The convenience features of this vacuum include its on board scheduling feature, you have the option to schedule the vacuum to do the entire floor when you are away from your home as well as being able to set up the vacuum from entering a particular room; you can use the virtual wall accessory to emit an infrared beam at the doorways of the room that you do not want the vacuum to enter. If you find a particular area to be a lot dirtier or muddier, then Roomba 555’s spot clean technology can be used to direct the vacuum to work on that particular spot as well.

Cleaning Features 

The very popular feature of the Roomba 555 robotic vacuum cleaner is the patented 3-stage cleaning system. This is one of the unique features of the machine that will help in accumulating more dirt and dust from any kind of floor. The spinning side brushes with long bristles will work on the dust, dirt and pet hairs on the floor and will push the debris onto the counter rotating brushes just behind these long circulating brushes. The counter rotating brushes act like a broom and a dust pan that will collect the debris and an effective vacuum will instantly pull the debris into the dustbin collector. The AeroVac vacuum dustbin is fitted with an extra filter that will take care of the fibers like hair, pet fur, and carpet fuzz from entering the dustbin and only passes the dust and dirt so that the bin will have more space to fill up and you will not need to empty the bin often. The Roomba 555 has an active cleaning head suspension that can detect the type of floor that it is working on and adjust automatically to the different types of floors. This vacuum is ideal for carpets, rugs, linoleums, tiles, hardwood as well as marble floors.

Additional Features

• Anti Tangle technology: The anti tangling feature in the Roomba 555 will prevent it from getting tangled on loose wires or carpet borders. The vacuum will automatically reverse when it detects cables and carpet borders in its path.
• Gentle Bumper technology: The vacuum will automatically slow down when it detects obstacles in its path. It will move around these obstacles and perform the cleaning operations as it moves around the obstacle.
• Cliff Sensors: The cliff sensor will help the vacuum from detecting stairs and thereby prevent it from falling off the stairs.

Final Verdict

The iRobot Roomba 555 automatic vacuum cleaner is designed for homeowners who are busy with their everyday life and need that little extra help around the house. It is great for homeowners who have pets and allergies.
