Now this is something I need – a gutter-cleaning iRobot.

While the premature update has now been removed, the Looj gutter cleaning robot, is coming and none too soon with Fall around the corner.

Described as: iRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot – cleaning an 80-foot section in 10 minutes. Works with standard K-style, aluminum, copper, metal or vinyl gutters.

And when I say that, I mean it in a good way: the more that robots become part of our everyday lives, the more they’ve progressed to the point of being real tools. That means more investment, greater breakthroughs, and vastly improved capabilities. So, iRobot’s Looj, although a lowly gutter cleaner, is helping to blaze a trail.
