Understand how iRobot Scooba cleans

Before You Get Started

Scooba’s Cleaning Pattern

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

While Scooba is cleaning, it calculates the best
path to clean your floor and it determines the best
times to exhibit its various cleaning behaviors:

Spiraling: Enables Scooba to efficiently clean a
concentrated dirty area

Wall following: Enables Scooba to clean the room
perimeter and navigate around furniture and
obstacles

Room crossing: Enables Scooba to clean new
areas while crisscrossing the room

IMPORTANT:

Let Scooba complete an entire

cleaning cycle every time you clean

Scooba’s Cleaning System

Scooba performs 4 cleaning methods in one pass:

Preps – Picks up loose crumbs, sand, and dirt

Washes – Uses fresh, clean solution

Scrubs – Gently scrubs your floor, removing

dirt, grime, and spills

Dries – Picks up the dirty solution, leaving the
floor clean and dry*

* Floor drying time may vary.

Grasp the handle
and pull Scooba’s
tank up.

Release Scooba’s
tank by pushing
