iRobot, creator of Roomba(R), the first affordable robotic
vacuum, announced today that its new Roomba Red robotic
floorvac is now available at select Canadian Tire
stores throughout Canada. Shaped like a Frisbee and low enough
to get under most beds and bureaus without help, Roomba Red
gives people the ability to clean their homes more effectively
and efficiently than ever before. Roomba Red is part of the
new Roomba Discovery line of breakthrough robotic vacuum cleaners
that offer enhanced dirt detection systems, a self-charging
Home Base(TM), longer battery run time and faster charging.
Canadian Tire and its Associate Dealers together form one
of Canada's best-known and most-shopped retailers, with 455
stores from coast-to-coast. Roomba Red is available in the
vacuum section of select Canadian Tire retail outlets, and
soon from iRobot's Web site, www.irobot.com. Offered for the
first time at a Canadian retailer, Roomba Red sells for approximately
$249 (Canadian).
"iRobot has been eager to introduce the Roomba robotic
floorvac to Canadian consumers, and we are particularly thrilled
to team with Canadian Tire, one of Canada's most respected
retailers," said Colin Angle, chief executive officer
of iRobot. "Roomba Red robot vacuum takes vacuuming to
a new level and gives people a smarter way to have a cleaner
home. Canada is a crucial market for us and we look forward
to introducing future products to Canadian consumers as we
continue to develop new robotic innovations."
Roomba's slim profile allows it to scurry under furniture
to areas that traditional vacuums cannot reach. Two counter-rotating
cleaning brushes sweep away larger particles, while an efficient
vacuum sucks up smaller particles. Additionally, Roomba uses
a spinning side brush to push dirt from edges into the path
of the main cleaning head. This allows Roomba to clean powerfully
and thoroughly using less power than full-sized vacuums. Standard
features include a cliff-avoidance detector that prevents
Roomba from falling down stairs and a non-marring bumper that
protects walls and furniture from scuffing.
The original award-winning Roomba robotic floorvac, introduced
in 2002, is the world's first practical home robot. Over a
half-million Roombas have been sold to date. Now, the new
Roomba Discovery line offers an even smarter way to a cleaner
home. The following intelligent advances are built into the
Roomba Discovery line to give users more convenience than
ever:
- Dirt Detect(TM) system: special sensors alert Roomba to
dirt so it spends more time cleaning dirty areas, detecting
particles as fine as ground pepper
- Home Base(TM) self-charging station that Roomba returns
to when finished cleaning
- Faster charging: Roomba Red charges in under seven hours
- Longer battery run time: Roomba can now clean for up
to 120 minutes
- One button "Clean" mode: Roomba figures out
the room size and how much time it needs to clean
- Bigger dust bin that holds three times more dirt
- More powerful vacuum for better cleaning on deeper pile
carpet
- Smart sensors know when Roomba is stuck, and help it
escape
- Design modifications allow Roomba to transition more
smoothly from hardwood floor to rug
Quieter operation
- Roomba Red works with an optional self-charging Home
Base unit and remote control. It is sold with one Virtual
Wall(TM) unit that creates a barrier to keep Roomba out
of areas that users wish it to avoid.
