Product Description
Amazon.com
With its enhanced navigation and floor coverage, the Roomba 580 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 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 dust bin, and its improved filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit. For added convenience, the vacuum's cleaning head automatically adjusts to transition from wood, tile, and linoleum to carpets and rugs, while improved anti-tangle technology ensures it won't get stuck on cords and rug fringe. If the unit begins to pick up a cord or carpet tassel, it will automatically reverse the direction of its brushes to extract the item. A gentle-touch bumper system senses obstacles so the vacuum automatically slows its approach, gently touches the obstacle, then redirects to continue cleaning under or around the object. Because it cleans under beds, couches, and other hard-to-reach areas, it actually vacuums more of the floor than a standard upright. The vacuum also senses dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them, and it uses built-in cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other drop-offs. In addition, invisible barriers can be set using the unit's Virtual Wall system. To mark off-limit areas, simply place a Virtual Wall at a doorway or other opening and adjust the infrared beam setting to the distance of the opening. The unit automatically detects the beam and will not cross it. On-board scheduling allows for presetting up to seven cleaning times per week, while its wireless command center makes it easy to control, steer, and schedule the Roomba remotely. The vacuuming robot returns to its self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleaning cycles or when the battery starts to run low. Its advanced power system consists of a fast-charging battery, a three-hour charger that allows for up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning, covering about three to four average-size rooms on a single charge. Accessories include two Virtual Wall lighthouses, each requiring two C batteries (not included), a brush cleaning tool, one replacement beater brush, and one replacement filter. The vacuuming robot measures 16-3/4 by 21 by 5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Great product, not this model though,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: iRobot Roomba 580 Vacuuming Robot (Kitchen)
Awesome product and a big improvement over the previous generations of Roomba. These are much quieter, especially for those of us with hard floors.
Unfortunately this model costs $150 more than the 560 and what you get for the $150 is this: - 1 remote control (not worth it at all - it's just a wireless version of the Roomba buttons and doesn't remember the time or date or schedule like the previous generation remotes did. It's just a toy.) - 1 set of replacement brushes (one bristle, one rubber) - 1 replacement filter That's it. The iRobot site says the 580 comes with a whole accessory kit of replacement brushes and filters, but it seems Amazon does not include that with the 580's they sell. You can buy the 580 for the same price directly from iRobot and get the kit, or you can save $150 and buy the 560 from Amazon. Either way, I strongly recommend against wasting your money on this specific model here at Amazon unless they start including the accessory kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Why didn't I buy this earlier in my life!,
By Belle (Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: iRobot Roomba 580 Vacuuming Robot (Kitchen)
I have two boys with friends and four large dogs that come in and out of the house leaving hair and fine dirt in their path. Now with iRobot Roomba 580, I have a meticulous cleaning service at the tip of my fingers. The potable remote control activates the cleaning service and the task scheduler allows one routine cleaning per day. I continue to be amazed at how much dirt and hair it picks-up even though we run it once a day. Thanks to iRobot, I have a cleaning partner who never complains and won't stop until the job is done!
~~~ HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS TOY ~ 1. First time(s) you run it, you will probably run it several times and watch it zoom under and around furniture. CAUTION: listen for the distress beep, to correct the problems when it gets stuck. Once corrected, the problem is eliminated. Ex: Threads hanging under your furniture or bed, height of some appliances or furniture, electrical cords etc... ~ 2. If you have animals, run it several times a day while you are present to show them it's OK. We don't want them to consider it the enemy because it will poke them out of the way when it's vacuuming. ~ 3. If it is having difficulty docking...train it. Using the remote, start it from the docking station by pressing the "Clean" button to start it, press "Clean" again to stop it, then press "Dock" to resend it to the docking station. The second time, remove it from the docking station; place it several feet away from the station, pointing the raised button towards the station, press the "Clean", button then "Dock" button. It will automatically dock within 30 seconds, even if it does not go directly to the docking station. ~ 4. If you lose it...and you will lose it until you completely rid your home of obstacles listed in No. 1, press the "Clean" button, on the remote, to activate the beeper. Follow the sound! ~ 5. If the "Clean" button turns "RED"...it's running out of energy. Press the "Clean" button to stop it. Place it several feet in front of the docking station, pointing the raised button in the same direction as the station. Use the remote or the top of the machine to resend it to docking station by pressing "Clean" and "Dock" buttons. Use it again when it flashes a GREEN "Clean" button. ~ 6. Be nice and clean it after each use...it takes less than a minute. I always clean my machine, including the filter, after each use. I also pull the hair off the brushes. Make sure you close the brush cage well. I usually pull it up from the bars to check if it's closed properly. Improperly closed cage will generate dust bunnies under the machine instead of inside the container. It will happen to you at least once... Once a month, I clean the front black and white wheel by pulling it straight up like you would rollers on a desk. ~~~ PROS: ~ 1. You can set your schedule for each day and forget it. ~ 2. The vacuum is as loud as a hair dryer set on low except that you don't have to have it around your head while it does it's job. ~~~ CONS (according to my kids): ~ 1. Vacuuming is no longer part of their weekly allowance...it's been replaced by mopping. ~ 2. The docking station moves around on wooden floors which prevents the machine from docking properly 100% of the time. I corrected the problem by placing a rubber mat under the docking station. Now it has friction that prevents it from moving around. ~~~ ADVISE: Buy the package with the most supplies (filters, brushes, corner broom) and find the best price on line using a coupon...it's worth the money. I received the following items in my package; ~ Wireless Command Center ~ On-board Scheduling ~ Self-charging Home Base ~ 3 Virtual Wall® Lighthouses ~ Silver Faceplate ~ 11 Brushes ~ 7 Filters Listed below are the approx prices for supplies you may need depending on the model you purchase...you do the math! ~ Wireless Command Center $59.99 ~ Virtual Wall® Lighthouse $39.99 ~ Brush Cleaning Tool $5.99 ~ Filter 3-pack $19.99 (2 pkgs) ~ Bristle Brush 3-pack $39.99 ~ Flexible Brushes 3-pack $19.99 ~ Side Brush 3-pack $14.99 ~ Self-charging Home Base $69.99 Remember to register your machine on the irobot site to get access to their help files and participate in their blog to gain valuable information or experiences from other users. That's how I found out how to clean the front wheel! ~~~ NOTE: I have my iRobot hidden under a chair and I keep the remote on the coffee table.

Great Product but DONT BUY THIS HERE!!!,
By
This review is from: iRobot Roomba 580 Vacuuming Robot (Kitchen)
This is my own dumb fault but I read several reviews here on slightly different models but didn't check this one. After looking at the 580 on iRobot, the price was the same as Amazon but I knew I could get the free shipping with Amazon, so I bought it here w/o reading the review.
MISTAKE! This basically borders on false advertising except to Amazon's defense they do list what comes with the supposed 580 they sell here. The problem is for all intents and purposes, the only difference between the 570 and 580 according to iRobot is the extra accessories that you get if you buy it from iRobot. Somehow, Amazon is selling a 580 w/o the extra accessories so by iRobot standards, it's not a 580 but a 570. Summary, Amazon is short-changing you $100 for accessories that are worth significantly more than that. Some of the other models here may be worth the price but if you want the 580 as listed on iRobot's site, but it from iRobot, not Amazon. This is really disappointing on Amazon's part. FYI - by no means does this reflect on the Roomba itself. The product is great. 5 stars for the roomba. 0 stars for Amazon's marketing on this particular model.
