In June 2010, Roomba 581 faced a challenge against the Samsung Navibot.  Both robots were submitted to CNET UK cleaning review procedures to find which robot does the best job. Roomba won!

"Thank the stars then that the brave super-scientists at iRobot worked so hard to create the revolutionary Roomba cleaning machine, guaranteed to keep your home sparkling and new, without any input from you. Pretty smart eh?... Roomba truly is the queen of clean. And her scintillating cleaning efficiency has earned her a loyal fan base".
