iRobot Dirt Dog 110 Workshop Robotic Vacuum Review

iRobot Dirt Dog 110 Workshop is designed to handle only hard floors, shop carpets or industrial floor surfaces. It’s been designed to sweep under workbenches, cars and other hard to reach areas. It picks up the nuts, bolts, dirt, and other debris from your shop floor.

The product is not a vacuum, but a sweeper. If you’ve ever seen a street cleaning truck, the design is similar. A little brush spins out of the side, sweeping dirt underneath the Roomba, where another brush sweeps the dirt into the dust bin.

iRobot Dirt Dog has big dust bin and high-speed, counter-rotating brushes to keep your workspace clean. It is intended for use on hard floors, shop carpets or industrial floor surfaces only.

Dirt Dog 110 robotic vacuum uses a 14.4-volt rechargeable Ni-MH battery that provides the power needed to clean hard floors, shop carpets, garage and basement areas, as well as industrial floor surfaces.

Counter-rotating brushes spin almost 1,000 times per minute, sweeping up dirt and debris that cling to rough surfaces. Just press the “clean” button, and the unit sweeps under workbenches, cars, and other hard-to-reach places.

You don’t need to worry about Dirt Dog falling down the stairs as it uses “cliff” sensor technology which keeps him safe from vertical drops. The unit offers an oversized, bagless, easy-to-empty debris bin, and fully charges in seven hours.

Accessories include a standard battery, a standard charger, a cleaning tool, and an owner’s guide. The cleaning machine measures approximately 13 by 13 by 4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

I really liked this Roomba for the hardwood flooring throughout our living room and kitchen.

The unit was not able to handle my garage, but I kind of expected this as I tend to drop larger nuts & bolts. I can certainly see use in a shop or garage that is just looking for general, low volume, saw dust clean up. – Buyer

Dirt Dog 110 Review Final Words

Dirt Dog 110 iRobot robotic vacuum is a great vacuum if you just need to clean hard floors.

Many buyers are amazed at how much dirt the iRobot Dirt Dog picks up from what appears to be a pretty clean surface.

This robotic vacuum does really well on concrete, tile and wood floors. It has a relatively low price but does a fantastic job of cleaning up dirt, dust, leaves and metal shavings, as well as fine paint dust.

Some people said it is noisy and it is true it produces beeping sound which can bother some people.

One of the big advantages of Dirt Dog is its large dust bin which seems to be big enough to hold a decent load.

Few people reported situations where the iRobot Dirt Dog runs for a few minutes, doesn’t bump into anything, then just stops and sits there in the middle of the room beeping, waiting for someone to push the start button again.

Also, be noted, this robotic vacuum does not perform well on carpets. If Dirt Dog is not what you are looking for, then check Roomba 790, or Roomba 780.
