The iRobot Roomba 530 Vacuum Cleaning Robot features the newest innovations for dramatically improved performance, reliability and durability. It systematically cleans three rooms on a single charge, gets into hard-to-reach areas like wall edges and beneath furniture while avoiding stairs and other drop-offs. Roomba automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again. Improved Virtual Wall® tells Roomba where to clean by restricting off-limit areas (1 included). When the cleaning is complete, or if the battery is running low, Roomba automatically returns to the self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge.

With dramatically improved navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, and particle filtration, the Roomba 530 vacuuming robot picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. The powerful unit features innovative spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other debris from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy-to-empty bagless dustbin, and its improved fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.
When its battery is running low, or when the cleaning is complete, Roomba automatically returns to its self-charging Home Base™ to dock and recharge.

Our Rating:
The 530 is the basic version of iRobot's Roomba 500 range but is still skilled enough to fulfill its vacuuming duties and powerful enough to suck up most dirt and dust it encounters. You can easily live without the Lighthouse Technology but the 530's downfall is that you can't schedule the little vacuum to automatically clean the house at chosen periods throughout the day. Instead you must press the "Clean" button on top to start vacuuming. It's not a major fault but if scheduling is a must for you then this model is not your friend.
