Understand how
iRobot Roomba
cleans.
Roomba’s Cleaning Pattern
Roomba is a robot that cleans
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 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
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 fastest cleaning and best
performance, clear your floor
of clutter and use a Virtual
Wall (optional accessory) to
confine Roomba to one room.
TIP: Recharge Roomba as soon as possible. Waiting several days to
recharge Roomba can damage the battery.
TIP: Before first use, charge Roomba overnight or until the CLEAN
button light turns green.
