Editorial ReviewsAmazon.com Product Description
For reliably
clean floors including sealed hardwood, tile, and linoleum, this floor-washing robot can handle up to four average-size rooms
(250 square feet) on a single battery charge. Simple to operate, just fill the tank, press "clean," and empty the
tank when finished. Its four-stage cleaning process includes the prep stage, which picks up dirt, sand, and crumbs; the washing
stage, which uses only clean solution (mops just spread around dirty water); the scrubbing stage, which removes dirt, grime,
and stuck-on messes; and the drying stage, which squeegee-lifts dirty water from floors. The cleaning machine uses clean tap
water, a water and vinegar mixture, or deep-cleaning, fresh-scented Clorox Scooba cleaning solution. With the press of a button,
the robot will leave floors clean, dry, and ready to walk on. In addition, the robot avoids carpets,
rugs, ledges, and stairs thanks to its cliff-sensing technology. The unit conveniently self navigates throughout each room
cleaning beneath cabinet edges, tables, chairs, and other hard-to-reach places. The robot's autonomous cleaning pattern
covers each area of floor an average of five times, and it washes floors with only clean solution, depositing dirty water
and grime into the dirty-water tank. Accessories include one 8-ounce bottle of Clorox Scooba cleaning solution, a measuring
cup, an APS battery, a power supply and charging base, and an owner's guide. One Virtual Wall also comes included to mark
off-limit areas with an infrared beam that the robot will not cross (requires two D batteries, not included). The floor-washing
robot measures 14-3/4 by 14-3/4 by 3-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty. Product DescriptionThe iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robot with Scheduler

Editorial ReviewsFrom the Manufacturer
This is the only remote-controlled robot that removes leaves, small
branches, and dirt from gutters, eliminating the need for ineffective and laborious manual methods. Made by iRobot, a company
founded by roboticists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and renowned for their tactical robots used in U.S.
military reconnaissance missions, the robot is controlled by a 75'-range handheld remote. After it is placed in a gutter,
the robot begins to clean at the touch of a button, rotating its powerful auger at 500 rpm while the durable rubber and plastic
blades dislodge and remove stubborn detritus; polypropylene brushes finish the process by wiping the gutter clean. As the
low-profile robot moves back and forth under gutter supports its tank-like, belt-driven treads allow the robot to easily cross
downspout openings, while its waterproof design allows for use in wet conditions. When cleaning is complete, the remote attaches
to the top of the robot, forming a handle that allows for ease of transport to the next gutter. Includes a holster and belt
for transporting the robot and a rechargeable battery that runs for one hour after a 15-hour charge. Remote requires two AAA
batteries. For use in all standard K-style gutters with 2 1/4" clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions  | - What is the difference between the iRobot Verro 300 and the iRobot Verro 600?
The iRobot Verro 300 and the iRobot Verro 600 were designed to work on all pool surfaces. However, the iRobot Verro
300 is ideal for use in gunite or concrete pools, while the Verro 600 is ideal for all other pool surfaces (such as tile,
vinyl, and fiberglass). Also, the iRobot Verro 300 utilizes a powerful hydro-jet system that `power washes' pool surfaces,
deep cleaning pores, cracks, and seams while the iRobot Verro 600 uses sturdy PVA roller brushes to scrub the algae, bacteria,
and dirt from your pool's floor and walls. - Why should
I buy a pool-cleaning robot instead of an automatic pool cleaner?
Pool cleaning robots offer some
important benefits that automatic pool cleaners do not. The question most pool owners ask is, "How long does it take
to clean?" iRobot's Verro pool-cleaning robots clean your pool from floor to waterline and everywhere in between
in about an hour. Most automatic pool cleaners take over six hours to get the job--thereby interfering with pool usage time
and requiring more energy to do so. Also, Verro pool-cleaning robots filter up to 5000 gallons of water per hour, removing
debris as small as 2 microns from your family's pool water and reducing run-time of your pool's filtration system.
iRobot's Verro cleaners also aid in the circulation of pool chemicals and water temperature. Finally, pool-cleaning robots
deep clean the bacteria, algae, dirt, and grime from the bottom and walls of your pool while many automatic pool cleaners
do not agitate debris or go up the walls of your pool. Therefore, iRobot's Verros are faster, more efficient, reduce run-time
of your pool's filtration system, use less energy, and provide cleaner water for your friends and family. - Which iRobot Verro pool-cleaning robot is right for me?
Both
iRobot Verro pool-cleaning robots are ideal for anyone who wants a clean, healthy swimming pool with more free time to enjoy
it. If your pool is gunite or concrete, the iRobot Verro 300 is the perfect choice. If your pool surface is vinyl, fiberglass,
or tile, the PVA brushes of the iRobot Verro 600 will scrub the floor and walls of the pool clean.

Amazon.com Buying Guide
Five Tips
for Buying a Mower
Choosing a lawn mower is a matter of sifting through a bewildering array of
types, power ratings, and fuel sources. Let's break it down a little to make the process easier. What
types of walk-behind mowers are there?
There are four basic choices: push reel, electric, cordless, and
gas. All have strengths and weaknesses.
- Push reel mowers are powered by you. They're
quiet, they don't need cords or recharging, and they don't pollute. But on large lawns, you might not want the workout
you get when using a push reel mower. They also tend to be less effective on grass taller than two inches.
- Electric
mowers need to be plugged into an outlet to power them, which means you're constrained by the location of power
outlets, the length of your power cord, and any obstacles that may snag the cord. If you have a small yard but don't want
the forced exercise of using a push reel mower, an electric mower may be for you.
- Cordless mowers
are powered by a rechargeable battery. You don't have to deal with the hassles of keeping a cord plugged in, but battery
life becomes a constraint. Depending on the battery capacity, the size of your yard, and the height of your grass, you may
not be able to complete your mowing job on one charge.
- Gas mowers offer the most power, which is
best if you'll be mowing tall, dense grass or if your yard is larger than 2,000 square feet. But you will have to keep
gas and oil on hand as well as keep the engine serviced.
What do all the power
measurements mean?
All that matters to you is whether the lawn mower's blade will spin fast enough
to cut your grass. Unfortunately, mowers are rated in far more technical terms.
For gas mowers, there are three
power measurements you may see: - horsepower (hp) refers to the amount of power the engine can produce;
- torque is the amount of horsepower that is transferred to the blade;
- cc (cubic centimeters)
is another to measure an engine's power based on the displacement volume of its cylinders.
There also are
two types of engines: two-stroke (also referred to as two-cycle) and four-stroke (or four-cycle). Conventional wisdom is that
two-stroke engines offer more power but also more pollution.
For electric and cordless mowers, power often is measured
in volts, amps, or watts. To satisfy your inner techie, here's how to calculate the horsepower:
37. Multiply the
volts by the amps to get the wattage.
38. Divide the wattage by 746 to get the horsepower. More horsepower doesn't
always mean more cutting power. That's why, starting in 2007, most lawnmower manufacturers began rating walk-behind lawn
mowers in torque power or cc's--not horsepower. If torque isn't available for a gas mower, higher cc figures usually
mean higher torque (and more fuel used per stroke, incidentally). However, you don't want to buy a mower based on
the power measurement alone. Make sure it has the features, warranty, and quality of reviews you're seeking. What features should I look for?
- Cutting Deck
This refers to the blade housing. The wider the cutting deck, the fewer passes it will take to mow a given area. However,
consider how many obstacles there are in your yard. The wider the deck, the tougher it may be to fit the mower into tight
spaces.
- Mulching and Bagging
Want to collect your clippings? Choose a mower with
a rear- or side-bag option. Want to leave clippings on the lawn as fertilizer? Get a mower that mulches. A "3-in-1"
mower will mulch, bag, or side-discharge.
- Wheels
Larger wheels mean easier handling,
especially over rough terrain. If you can, go with at least 7-inch-diameter wheels in the rear--larger if your yard is hilly
or uneven. Some higher-end mowers have front wheels on casters, which gives you an extremely tight turning radius.
- Height Adjustment
Most mowers allow you to adjust the distance between the blade and the
ground. Think about how much range you really need.
- Safety
Many newer rotary machines
are available with a lever or bar that must be depressed to keep the mower running (some models include a handy blade-brake
that lets you release the lever without killing the engine).
Also, look for models with a rubber flap at the back to
block objects thrown from the blades. You should always wear safety goggles when mowing and follow all the manufacturer's
safety instructions regardless of the mower you're using.
- Batteries
If you're
buying a cordless mower, think about how long it will run on a single charge. Most batteries take several hours to recharge,
so you want to make sure it's going to get the job done before it runs out of juice. As a rule of thumb, a typical 24-volt
mower will run up to one-and-a-half hours and cut up to a third of an acre; a 36-volt mower will go for three hours and cut
up to a half an acre.
- Cord holder
A cord holder is useful for keeping the cord of
your electric mower out of the way when you make turns.
- Starters
Gas mowers are
available either with recoil (pull-cord) or electric starters. Newer recoil motors start much quicker than those you remember
from summers past. However, go with electric if you can afford it: your mower will start with the push of a button or the
turn of a key.
- Self-propelled or push?
A self-propelled mower moves forward without
you having to push it. All you have to do is steer. If you have a relatively flat lawn, save a few bucks by skipping this
feature. However, if your landscape has a slope or an irregular contour, a self-propelled model may be the best choice. Rear-wheel
drive tends to offer better traction.
- Variable Speed
If you want a self-propelled
mower, look for models with variable speed. This feature allows you to make adjustments within a continuous range so you can
find the exact speed that's comfortable for you.
What servicing and maintenance
is necessary?
Always buy a mower that comes with a manufacturer's warranty and follow the manufacturer's
routine maintenance instructions for - Cleaning the mower after usage;
- Keeping the blade sharp;
- Keeping
the engine tuned up (gas mowers); and
- Keeping the battery charged (cordless mowers).
While Amazon.com
does not accept returns on gas-powered mowers, the manufacturer's Website or product manual will list the nearest service
center. What does CARB-compliant mean?
CARB is an acronym
for California Air Resource Board, whose stringent air-quality standards have been adopted by many states. If your state requires
compliance for gas mowers, confirm that your model is CARB-certified before you buy. While CARB-compliant mowers run cleaner
than noncompliant models, they still emit pollutants. If you want to go green, an electric or push reel mower is the way to
go.

Editorial ReviewsAmazon.com Product Description
The Friendly Robotics RoboMower Automatic Lawn Mower is a
fully automatic lawnmower designed to mow your lawn entirely by itself. The fully-automatic mower travels across the lawn
in a crisscross pattern, covering up to 10,800 square feet on a single charge while you relax on the porch. The RoboMower
works by mowing within a selected boundary outlined by a small wire (the unit includes 500-foot perimeter wire). Its navigation
system can handle any lawn, regardless of shape, slope, or obstacles. It is capable of mowing 3/4 of an acre on one battery
charge. Because the mower is rechargeable, it doesn't need gas or oil, and emits no pollution and little noise. However,
it's still as powerful as conventional mowers, employing a battery-powered 3-blade, 21-inch powerful cutting system equivalent
to a 5-1/2 HP gas mower, but with better mulching and a 5,800 rpm blade speed (double that of a typical gas unit). The Triple Chamber Mulching system compacts grass into small clippings that decompose naturally on the lawn, improving
your lawn's health while lightening your workload. The mower also comes with a host of safety features, such as a child
lock and a detection system that automatically turns off the blade if the mower is lifted. It also includes a user-controlled
theft protection and disabling system using a personal password. The mower comes with plenty of oomph, completing about three
hours of mowing with a single 24-hour charge. The RL850 is also upgradeable to the RL1000, which comes with a programmable
docking station. The RL1000 will automatically depart and return to the docking station at preset times to mow the lawn--even
at night while you're sleeping--adding yet another level of convenient operation. A 2-year warranty is included and comes
complete with 2007 generation software.
