iRobot 110 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot

iRobot Dirt Dog picks up what you throw down. Command it to clean and it gets to work sweeping under workbenches, cars and other hard-to-reach places. It picks up the nuts, bolts, dirt, and other debris from your shop floor. You’ve done enough; leave the cleaning to a robot. iRobot Dirt Dog’s oversized dust bin and high-speed, counter-rotating brushes keep your workspace clean. Use on hard floors, shop carpets or industrial floor surfaces only.

Leave the cleaning to a robot with this convenient machine. Its 14.4-volt rechargeable Ni-MH battery provides the power needed to clean hard floors, shop carpets, garage and basement areas, as well as industrial-floor surfaces. In addition, specially designed counter-rotating brushes spin almost 1,000 times per minute, sweeping up dirt and debris that cling to rough surfaces. Simply press the “clean” button and the unit sweeps under workbenches, cars, and other hard-to-reach places, picking up nuts, bolts, dirt, and more. For added convenience, “cliff” sensors keep it from falling down stairs or other vertical drops. The unit offers an oversized, bagless, easy-to-empty debris bin, and its power supply fully charges in seven hours. Accessories include a standard battery, a standard charger, a cleaning tool, and an owner’s guide. The cleaning machine measures approximately 13 by 13 by 4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

iRobot 110 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot Review

This did a better job of cleaning than a regular Roomba - did very good on uneven surfaces, excelled on sand and dog hair (much better than the Roomba on sand), and has a big enough bin to hold a decent load.

Where I had a problem with it was the 10 beeps - “too long without bumping anything” fault. My shop area is big (60×40) and doesn’t have junk laying around for it to run into. Most of the time, the Dirt Dog runs for a few minutes, doesn’t bump into anything, then just stops and sits there in the middle of the room beeping, waiting for someone to push the start button again. Pretty frustrating.

I would only recommend this if you’ve got small areas/rooms to clean - probably won’t fit the definition of most “shops”.
