Roomba 560 is one of the latest models of the iRobot's Roombas. It is a third generation model which was introduced in 2007 with an infrared sensor to detect obstacles, and improved mechanical components.
Roomba 560 came out with some key improvements. One of my favorites is the anti-tangle technology. The previous model would just eat a cord until it gets stuck. Roomba 560 tries to untangle itself if anything gets tangled. It isn't perfect, but a great step forward in technology. Just make sure to put the cords and strings away before using the Roomba.
Another key feature that I like is the gentle-touch bumper system. If you've owned the previous models, you would know that the old models doesn't slow down when it detects an object. But Roomba 560 actually slows down if it senses something and hits the object gently. It doesn't dent your wall anyway, but cool feature to have.
One common problem with Roomba 560 is the side brush. It falls off easily after using it for a few months. You can get the replacement part from iRobot if it ever falls off. Their support is top notch.
