Cleaning Pattern

Roomba is a robot that cleans differently than the way most people clean their ﬂoors. Roomba uses iRobot’s AWARE™ Robot Intelligence System to determine the best way to pass over and clean every section of the ﬂoor.

Roomba calculates the optimal cleaning path as it cleans and determines when to use its various cleaning behaviors:

Spiraling: Roomba uses

a spiral motion to clean a concentrated area.

Wall Following: Roomba uses this technique to clean the full perimeter of the room and navigate around furniture and obstacles.

Room Crossing: Roomba criss-crosses the room to ensure full cleaning coverage.

Dirt Detection: When Roomba senses dirt, the blue Dirt Detect™ light is lit and Roomba cleans more intensely in that area.

TIP: Roomba takes approximately 45 minutes to clean an average room and

will pass over the same area of the ﬂoor multiple times to ensure total ﬂoor coverage.

TIP: For fastest cleaning and best performance, clear your ﬂoor of clutter and

use a Virtual Wall to conﬁne Roomba to one room.

TIP: Wires should be elevated off of the ﬂoor and rug tassles should be tucked

under the rug to prevent Roomba from getting stuck.

Cleaning System

Roomba features a patented 3-stage cleaning system.

Filter

Side brush cleans

along edge of walls and into corners.

Two counter-

rotating brushes scoop up dirt, hair and debris into the bin.

Powerful vacuum picks up the

remaining ﬁne particles, dirt, and hair. The ﬁlter traps dust and small particles.

Floor Surfaces

Roomba works on wood, carpet, tile, vinyl, and linoleum, and will automatically transition between different ﬂoor types. Roomba is not recommended for shag carpet or rugs with tassels.
