Hi

www.broadbandstuff.co.uk

Electroluxe also makes one and Dison is developing one.

A few others are available but none appears to have speech onboard.

This is the fifth generation Roomba

Right Deon, sounds fantastic! so where do you get it from? Don't mind telling you I'm having a good old laugh at the idea of one of them wandering round doing its thing ... I've heard of it before, but have never come across anybody using one.

Subject: [access-uk] Talking robot vacuum cleaner


Hi all

Thought some might be as fed up as me with hoovering so thought I'd pas this on.

Recently bought an IRobot Roomba 560 robot vacuum cleaner.

It comes with an onboard talking, voice demo.

The same female voice also gives instructions when problems arise, e.g. clean brushes.

It gives audible operational warnings e.g. when docking, reversing out of docking station, turning on, etc.

It comes with 2 virtual walls, does not fall down the stairs and goes back to its docking station to recharge when the battery is low.

Sighted help is needed to set the time and date and set up schedules.
However, you don't have to set up schedules; just press the clean button and off it goes.

Works pretty well to keep floors clean between major hoovering sessions.

Priced round £240.

Hope this makes life easier for some.
