Review of the Roomba Discovery
Everyday Robots checks out the latest version of iRobot's robotic vacuum cleaner, the Roomba Discovery, which gets an edge on its predecessor by being able dock itself automatically for recharging, recharge in about three hours (as opposed to the full 12 it used to take), a dustbin that's three times larger, and a new "intense cleaning" feature called the Dirt Detector that "focuses cleaning on dirtier areas" (which might be considered all areas in some bachelor pads). Best part: not only does it actually work better than the earlier ones, a lot of these new features were previously only found in robovacs costing five times as much.
