According to iRobot, the global market for vacuum cleaners costing over US$200 is worth $6 billion a year. The company is looking to grab a greater share of this pie with its new Roomba 800 Series robot vacuum that was rolled out this week. The 800 Series boasts a number of innovations, the biggest of which is its new AeroForce Extractors, which see conventional bristles replaced with textured rollers to provide what the company claims is a 50 percent improvement in performance.

From the outside, the 800 Series doesn't look too different from its earlier incarnations. The thick, plastic robotic disc still cruises about the room either on command or according to a preset schedule, it still comes with Virtual Wall barriers to keep it away from where it shouldn't be and Virtual Wall Lighthouses to guide it from room to room.

The 800 Series can detect dirt and debris, provide “elbow grease” to particularly dirty areas and even has a Spot Clean Mode that can be activated from its remote control. When its HEPA-filtered bin is full, it lets its owner know, and when its battery runs low, it goes back to base for a quick charge.

However, what's new isn't what’s been put in, but what’s been left out. In this case, it’s bristles.

“Bristle brushes have been around for a hundred years. With these new AeroForce Extractors, we've invented a completely different way to clean your floor,” says Colin Angle, chairman and CEO of iRobot. “With the Roomba 800 Series and AeroForce technology, iRobot is disrupting the floor care category yet again.”

According to iRobot, the bristles in the 800 series have been replaced by the new AeroForce system, featuring AeroForce Extractors. Instead of bristles, these are a set of angled, textured rollers that are counter rotating. The Extractors accelerate the air flowing between them with a suction five times stronger than in previous Roomba models. The company claims that this breaks up dirt and debris with 50 percent greater efficiency.

The upshot of this, says iRobot, is not only better cleaning, but less maintenance because eliminating the bristles also eliminates tangled hair, which should make dog owners happy. In addition, the bin is 60 percent larger and the new XLife battery battery doubles the cleaning cycles over the life of the robot.

The first of the Roomba 800 series, the Roomba 880, is available in North America for $699.99.

据iRobot公司，真空吸尘器全球市场耗资超过US $ 200价值每年$ 6个十亿。该公司正在寻求攫取更大份额的这一派与其新的Roomba 800系列机器人真空这是本星期推出的。 800系列拥有多项创新，其中最大的是它的新AeroForce提取器，内见有质感的滚轮取代了传统刷毛提供了该公司所称是在性能上提高了50％。

从外，800系列看起来不从早期的化身太不一样了。厚厚的塑料机器人光盘仍游轮在房间里或者在命令或根据预先设定的时间表，但它仍然带有虚拟墙壁垒，使其远离它不应该和虚拟墙灯塔，从房间到另一个房间引导它.

800系列可以检测灰尘和碎片，提供“苦劳”，以特别脏的地方，甚至有现货清洁模式，可以从它的遥控器被激活。当它的HEPA过滤纸槽已满，它可以让它的主人知道，当它的电池电量不足，它可以追溯到基地的快速充电。

但是，有什么新的是不是出了什么被放，但什么是被排除在外。在这种情况下，它的毛。

“猪鬃刷已经存在了一百年。有了这些新的AeroForce提取器，我们已经发明了一种完全不同的方式来清洁您的地板，“科林角度，董事长和iRobot公司的CEO。 “随着伦巴800系列和AeroForce技术，iRobot公司被再次破坏地板护理范畴。”

据iRobot公司，在800系列中的毛已经被替换为新的AeroForce系统，具有Ae??roForce提取器。代替刷毛，这些是??一组有角度的，纹理化滚柱被反向旋转。该提取器加速与吸入比以往的Roomba模型的五倍它们之间流动的空气。该公司声称，这打破了灰尘和杂物50％更高的效率。

这样的结果，iRobot公司说，不仅是更好的清洁效果，但较少的维护，因为省去了刷毛也消除乱蓬蓬的头发，这将使狗的主人高兴。此外，垃圾桶是60％的较大和新XLife电池电池在机器人的使用寿命将增加一倍的清洗周期
