Better Than Roomba?

In a way yes, because this robotic vacuum cleaner uses eco-sense for operations! The Giving Tree is as robotic as the next iProduct and it cleans your space with TLC. The eco angle is included via the power system. It has been designed to conserve electricity and in a way harness some juice while it’s working. Before the engineers start their tirade, let me tell you that the idea is worth exploring. Unlike some commercially available robotic cleaners whose batteries die out within a year or two, having an eco-backup plan sounds better. What do you think?
