Cleaning Pattern
Roomba is a robot that cleans floors differently than the way most people
clean their floors. Roomba uses its robot intelligence to efficiently clean
the whole floor, under and around furniture and along walls.
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
crisscrosses 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 25 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 most efcient cleaning, clear your oor of clutter and use a Virtual
Wall (optional accessory) to confine Roomba to one room.

Cleaning Modes
Roomba will clean based on the cleaning mode you select. Roomba has
three cleaning modes.
Clean Mode (all models)
Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning
time appropriately.
Spot Mode (all models)
Roomba will spiral approximately three feet in diameter and then spiral
back to where it started, intensely cleaning a localized area.
Scheduled Cleaning Mode (Models 550 and above)
When a future cleaning time is programmed, Roomba enters Scheduled
Cleaning Mode. When scheduled to clean, Roomba will occasionally flash
its next cleaning time to remind you of its schedule. At the specified time,
Roomba leaves its Home Base, cleans, and then returns to the Home
Base to recharge when it’s done.

Cleaning System
Roomba features a patented three-stage cleaning system.
Floor Surfaces
Roomba works on wood, carpet, tile, vinyl, and linoleum, and adjusts
automatically to different floor types.
Roomba automatically senses stairs and other cliffs. Roomba might
stall when confronting rounded edges and might slide over particularly
slippery surfaces. Extremely dark-colored floors may contribute to
Roomba’s cliff sensors working less effectively.
Anti-Tangle system
Roomba won’t get stuck on cords, carpet fringe or tassels. When Roomba
senses it has picked up a cord or tassel, it will automatically stop its main
brushes or side brush and try to escape. Roomba may make a clicking
noise when anti-tangle is activated.

Side brush
sweeps along
edge of walls and
into corners.
2
Two counter-
rotating brushes
scoop up dirt,
hair, and debris
into the bin.
3
Powerful vacuum picks up the
remaining fine particles, dirt, and
hair. The filter traps dust and
small particles.

Cleaning Bins
Roomba is compatible with two interchangeable cleaning bins.
Vacuum Cleaning Bin
The vacuum cleaning bin should be used for everyday cleaning. The dual
action, counter-rotating brushes pick up debris, while the vacuum sucks
up the dirt and dust.
High-Capacity Sweeper Bin (optional accessory for all models)
The high-capacity sweeper bin can hold more debris than the vacuum
cleaning bin. Use this bin when cleaning larger-than-usual amounts of dirt
and dust, or when cleaning bigger pieces of debris.
