iRobot Roomba Owner’s Manual

 

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.

TIP:  For most efficient cleaning, clear your floor of clutter and use a Virtual 

Wall to confine Roomba to one room.

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.

Cleaning Modes

Roomba will clean based on the cleaning mode you select. Roomba has 
two cleaning modes:

Clean Mode 
Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning 
time appropriately. 

Spot Mode

  

Roomba will spiral approximately three feet in diameter and then spiral 
back to where it started, intensely cleaning a localized area.
