Roomba 562 Pet Series Review

One of the newest models of the Roomba series of vacuum cleaning robots is the Roomba 562 Pet Series. This particular model was made to meet the needs of those who own pets or who are sensitive to allergens. The Roomba 562 Pet Series cleaner has many advanced features that make it stand out from other vacuum robots and which make it extremely easy to use, as well as effective at cleaning carpets and hard surfaces.

Benefits of Owning a Roomba 562 Pet Series

There are many advantages of owning a Roomba and the main one is that it does the vacuum cleaning for you. All that has to be done is turn the Roomba vacuum cleaner robot on and let it navigate around the room and do its job. The Roomba 562 Pet Series is also capable of cleaning carpets that have pet hairs in them and so the floors will remain cleaner at all times. The Roomba 562 Pet Series also removes dirt, dust and allergens from floors.

Using the Roomba 562 Pet Series is not limited to just carpets, since this vacuum cleaning robot can also clean floors with hard surfaces, such as hardwood flooring. The robot can detect what flooring it is on and will automatically adjust whenever necessary so there is no need to constantly watch out for a flooring transition. 

Unlike other models of cleaning robots, with the Roomba 562 Pet Series there is no need to check the battery to see if it needs a recharging or not. This is because this model will automatically return and dock to its Home Base charger whenever it is finished cleaning or when the batteries are about to lose power.  The charger needs only three hours to completely recharge the batteries and with fully charged batteries the Roomba 562 Pet Series can clean up to four rooms. It is also possible to set up a cleaning schedule and if this is done then the Roomba 562 Pet Series will automatically start to clean at the set times. Up to seven of these convenient vacuum cleanings can be preset each week. 

Model Features

There are many great features found in the Roomba 562 Pet Series that make it easy to use and effective at cleaning floors. No vacuum bags are necessary for this Roomba since it has bag-less bins that are large enough to collect a lot of dirt, hair and debris before having to be emptied out. Two bins come with this product and they are interchangeable with one another. There is the high capacity sweep bin and the vacuuming debris bin. The first is suitable for larger or dirtier areas and the latter is appropriate for routine cleaning. The fine filter of the Roomba 562 Pet Series collects pollen, dust and other small particles that are picked up by the vacuum.

Built-in sensors detect ledges, stairs or other areas that drop off and this prevents the Roomba 562 Pet Series from falling and damaging itself. There are also two Virtual Wall Lighthouses and these are used to setup off limit areas that the Roomba is not allowed to enter or to act as directors when the cleaner is finished with a room by sending it to the next room to be vacuumed.

With the Roomba 562 Pet Series there are several useful accessories included in the package. Among the items included are an extra bristle brush, two brush cleaning tools, two filters and an extra rubber beater brush. The extra brushes are practical to have because the dirty ones can be replaced and the Roomba can continue to clean while the dirt is removed from the brushes.
