The company iRobot is literally a pioneer in the creation of intelligent vacuum cleaner in connection with what is associated with the reliability and high quality of many buyers and even sellers.
The main difference between all models of the manufacturer is a patented technology of cleaning the floor surface: inside the model embedded rubberized rollers which, rotating different directions, literally picked up from each other debris and effectively draw it.
To all, even the small areas have been removed, in a robot cleaner iRobot embedded side brushes which draw debris from the perimeter of the rollers to the main unit.

company iClebo
This South Korean brand has made significant competition company iRobot. Mainly due to the fact that the price of these models is somewhat lower, but the quality of cleaning is not inferior.
cleaning technology is virtually the same: a robot vacuum cleaner iClebo also has the side rotating brush to help remove dirt from even the most remote places. Inside debris tightened via the main brush.
Omega
iClebo Omega is considered one of the best models. It is aesthetically pleasing and at the same time functional design. The beveled shape of the perimeter makes it easier to clean hard to reach areas such as corners or space near the baseboards. Low height (9 cm) allows cleaning even under the sofa, and it does not prevent to overcome obstacles up to 1.5 cm.
Modes cleaning (hand set):

Comparison of companies and models
iRobot
The main advantage of the company iRobot models is considered to be their quality build and a long service life. Special cleaning technology is great for those who keep pets, because it can be easily removed wool and hair, not letting them be wound on rollers, which ensures a constant powerful suction garbage.
The robot vacuum cleaner iRobot Roomba 616, like all model 600 series, is the most budget embodiment, and therefore is not equipped with additional functions, and is able to perform only dry cleaning.
In later models the functionality is much higher: 700 Series contains additional components, sensor such as filling a container for garbage and dust, HEPA-filter to retain fine particles and other.
iClebo
If the decisive criterion for the choice to put the ratio of price - quality, no doubt, a Korean manufacturer of vacuum cleaner iClebo takes the leading position. In addition to lower cost, the firm model creates a lower noise level within 52-58 dB.
The movement is controlled by a counter camera which allows for much better navigate the space and place precisely those areas that have not been removed, not just ride out times on one and the same place.
A nice addition is the availability of all models wet cleaning function. Such a robot can wash not only floors, but also products from the carpet, where not too long nap. the battery charge is enough for continuous operation for 2 hours.
Robots from iRobot, unfortunately, can not boast of such a function. The model number of this company have representatives who can perform or only dry cleaning or just damp. Manufactured in Korea more expensive models are equipped with and that, and other functions.
However, unlike the American brand have no remote control via Wi-Fi network, which is very convenient for people employed, or when traveling on holiday, it is always nice to come back to a clean apartment. Instead, the developers in the latest model of the robot cleaner iClebo Omega introduced the remote control function, which is also good.
Exterior features necessary to evaluate the customer, based on their personal taste preferences or interior design, in which the further use of the device is expected. We note only that iRobot models look a little more succinctly and kept.
Summing up we can say that when choosing a firm does not have some kind of standard solutions for all customers. The choice depends entirely on the characteristics that a higher priority for you all: a model price, duration battery life, noise level emitted, the presence washing floors or remote control functions, and so on. d. In this review, we compared the most popular models. It remains only to choose.
