A More-Power Roomba Vacuum for Pet Owners

24 November 2008

If you’ve been holding out on getting a Roomba because you were skeptical about the automatic vacuum’s ability to pick up dog hair and kitty litter, you may want to take a peek at this more powerful version:

The Roomba Pet Owner’s Robotic Vacuum “courses autonomously through rooms and cleans floors and carpets using a powerful motor and proprietary brushes specially designed to remove deeply embedded pet hair from carpets. The unit has dual, counter-rotating agitator brushes that spread carpet fibers and enable the vacuum to remove pet dander, kitty litter, and dust and dirt left behind by paws. The motor provides superior suction that captures pet dander from low- or high-pile carpets.”

Hmm, no more sweeping up spilled kitty litter? No more vacuuming up those hairy carpets on your own? This is one cleaning duty that I wouldn’t mind automating. If you feel the same (and have $350 to spend), you can pick up a Roomba from Hammacher Shclemmer:
