iRobot Roomba Features
So, how exactly does the iRobot Roomba work? This amazing piece of equipment helps you in the
following ways:
|
|
1. The powerful suction and rotating brushes helps collect dust and lint that has
gathered on your floors.
2. While you work, it automatically navigates itself for best cleaning coverage. All these while you
concentrate on the other tasks in your home.
3. It cleans under and around furniture, into corners and along wall edges. It even covers areas that
are hard to reach.
4. It self-adjusts when it shifts surfaces such as carpets and hard floors.
5. It has built-in sensors that can help the disc automatically avoid stairs, drop-offs and off-limit
areas found in your home. |
6. It is very easy to use and it doesn't require intensive research just to be able to work it.
All you need to do is press the clean button while the Roomba takes care of the rest.
7. You can recharge the Roomba in its Homebase and is able to clean as long as 120 minutes when fully charged.
8. Comes with 2 Virtual Walls that will serve as its barrier so that it knows where to not cross.
Homemakers can now go about their usual business without having to worry about furniture
breaking. The best part of the deal is that the iRobot Roomba was designed to take care of itself. The makers
behind the model had the today's busy lifestyle in mind when they designed this product. The robot even puts itself
away after it completes its chore. This intelligent floor vacuum has saved people hours of cleaning and household
chore because of its basic design.
The Cleaning Mode of the Varying Models of iRobot Roomba.

The iRobot Roomba, today's generation's latest find in home cleaning and care,
will clean the floors depending on the cleaning mode you select. The models basically have three
cleaning modes:
Applicable for all the models made are the Clean Mode and Spot Mode. The former
mode automatically calculates the size of the room while appropriately adjusting its cleaning
time. It adjusts itself to measure the walls, corners, and barriers. The main purpose of the sensor
is to spot out and internally mark the areas it cannot go to. This mode is most often chosen by
those who want to cover every corner in the room without worrying about the space used by the
furniture. The latter mode, on the other hand, spirally approximates 3 feet in diameter as it
travels in a coil until it is back to where it started. This is set to intensely and meticulously
clean a certain localized area.

The new models of the Roomba (models 550 and above) have the Scheduled Cleaning Mode. This
basically means that the daily cleaning time is programmed to start and end on schedule. When the robot is
scheduled to clean, it occasionally flashes its next cleaning time as a reminder to its owner. When its internal
clock reaches the specified time, it automatically leaves its Homebase to start the chore. It only stops when work
is done or when battery is empty. As soon as the mechanism senses the power drainage, it takes care of itself by
returning once more to its port.
