context_page_description: A robotic vacuum cleaner, often called a roomba, is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner which has intelligent programming and a limited vacuum floor cleaning system. The original design included manual operation via remote control and a "self-drive" mode which allowed the machine to clean autonomously without human control. Some designs use spinning brushes to reach tight corners, and some include a number of cleaning features along with the vacuuming feature.
  An advantage of using a robotic vacuum cleaner is how quiet it is compared to a regular vacuum cleaner. Also, they are seen as more convenient to use because they can vacuum on their own. Robotic vacuums can be kept under beds or desks or in closets, whereas a regular vacuum cleaner requires a larger amount of space. However, a downfall to a robotic vacuum cleaner is that it takes an extended amount of time to vacuum an area due to its size. They are also relatively expensive.
context_section_description: A D-shape design can help capture dirt in corners and along walls better than some round units.
