With fall officially underway, finding time to clean and maintain a home proves extremely difficult. As life becomes busier and the number of activities our children participate in increase, chores can get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. For me, since vacuuming takes so much time and energy, I often bump it off the list in favor of more time spent my family. With the iRobot Roomba 650, this proves no longer a problem, as I can work a full day and come home to a house that has essentially cleaned itself.

You may remember when the Roomba was first released in 2002, stirring our hopes that a self-cleaning home, as featured on The Jetsons, would soon become a reality. Well, after years of research, updates and advancing technology, iRobot offers the Roomba 650, a reliable way to ensure a clean house and on your own schedule. Its AeroVac Technology allows the Roomba 650 to handle fibers like hair, pet fur, lint and carpet fuzz, and its spinning side brush cleans along wall edges. The iRobot Roomba works on all kinds of surfaces – deep carpets, hard floors, and even linoleum, easily capturing and cleaning the everyday messes that accumulate around the house.

Even more amazing, with the push of just a few buttons, you’re able to create a cleaning schedule that fits your busy days and nights. Place the Roomba in the room that needs the cleaning, and trust that iRobot’s technology will activate the vacuum at the exact time you specified. The Roomba takes the idea of multitasking to a whole new level, allowing you to conquer all sorts of errands at once, and therefore providing much needed free time to spend with the family, time we often push to the side this time of year.

The iRobot technology proves not only intelligent but also efficient. The vacuum detects dirt and cleans the surrounding area accordingly, and even more importantly, truly cleans the area well. With a variety of settings, the Roomba can clean specific spots and areas of your home, or you can let it loose for an entire day for a less focused, but still efficiently cleaned room. With a rechargeable battery that will last for hundreds of cleaning cycles, this vacuum offers a great way to clean a messy house on a busy schedule. The Roomba 650 provides an ideal way to clean up pet hair for a household with animals, as the messes our children and pets leave behind accumulate within a single day.

At $399.99, the iRobot Roomba 650 is an investment, but a worthy one. Its scheduling feature, along with an effective and quiet vacuum technology, provides a hands-off way to maintain a clean house when your schedule doesn’t allow you the time to do it yourself. With such an efficient multitasking device, we can devote less time to cleaning our homes and more to our families.
