More iRobots Come To Life

US robotics company iRobot Corp. has added a new vacuum cleaning robot to its stable of cleaning devices: the Roomba 600 Series.

The new unit incorporates optimized airflow and an improved brush design for more thorough and effective cleaning. Pricing starts at $329, according to the company.

In addition, iRobot has rolled out the Looj 330, a robot that uses a high-velocity, four-stage auger to blast away leaves, dirt and clogs while brushing gutters clean.

“iRobot has sold more than 8 million home robots worldwide, by focusing on cleaning performance and innovation across the company’s portfolio of home robots,” said Jeff Beck, chief operating officer of iRobot Corporation. “Regardless of whether our robots are washing or vacuuming floors, cleaning gutters or the pool, our global customers want high quality products with state-of-the-art technology that perform a single task exceptionally well.
