The iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum Cleaning Robot, not yet sold in Australia, features the latest innovations for dramatically improved performance, reliability and durability. On-board scheduling allows you to preset up to seven cleaning times per week for Roomba to clean when it's most convenient for you — whether you're at home or on the go. Roomba systematically cleans four rooms on a single charge, gets into hard-to-reach areas like wall edges and beneath furniture, avoids stairs and other drop offs and automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again. Each Virtual Wall Lighthouse (2 included) confines Roomba to one room until the entire floor is vacuumed before Roomba moves on to the next room. When its battery is running low, or when the cleaning is complete, Roomba automatically returns to its self-charging dock to recharge.

Okay, here's what you get:
- 1 Black iRobot Roomba 560
- 2 Virtual Wall Lighthouses (Each requires 2 C batteries, not included)
- 1 Self-charging Home Base
- 1 US Power Supply (3 hour charge time)
- 1 Brush Cleaning Tool
- 1 Rechargeable Battery
- 1 Extra Filter
NOTE: This machine
was imported from the US and as such has a 110V power adaptor. It's no
biggie- to solve this problem you can purchase an Australian 500 series
power supply from Salton
(even though they don't sell the 560, the 500 series adaptor are
compatible), or you can get a "50W+ Step Down Transformer" from an
electronics shop like JayCar (or ebay, for that matter). Before purchasing, I had a look around and found this forum useful for solving the power problem - roombareview.com (although it is UK focused, the technology solutions are the same)
The unit is untouched and brand new in box - exchange
is allowed only for DOA (Dead on arrival), DOA must be returned (at the buyer's expense) within
2 days of receipt of merchandise and must be in original condition.
If you have any queries regarding the product generally or this sale specifically, please don't hesitate in contacting me as I have the same model robot doing all my cleaning for me and it is absolutely brilliant- if only it made coffee as well!!
