Roomba FAQs
How does Roomba know where to clean? Do I have to program it?
There's nothing to program. Roomba's sensors figure out the size and shape
of your room, and continually readjusts its cleaning pattern until it
has covered your whole floor, multiple times. It adjusts up to 67 times
per second.
Will Roomba clean as well as I do?
Roomba is a robot, so it uses a different cleaning method than you would.
Its compact size enables it to reach under furniture and other hard-to-reach
places. Because Roomba works at the press of a button, you can use it
more frequently to help you maintain a cleaner home-all week long. It
does not clean your walls or goes down stairs (yet), but is a very effective
and powerful cleaner on both carpet and hard floor. See
a video of what Roomba can tackle for yourself.
Can it pick up pet hair?
Will it startle my pet?
Roomba is great for keeping up pet hair; its counter-rotating brushes actually
pull the hair out of rugs and off your hard floor. Everyone's pet is different,
but most tend to react with curiousity at first, then soon after get used
to it. Say goodbye to pet-hair tumbleweeds.
