Scooba’s Cleaning Pattern
Scooba is a robot that cleans differently than the way most people clean their floors. iAdapt ™
Responsive Cleaning Technology, iRobot’s advanced, proprietary system of software and sensors,
allows Scooba to get around, under and past everyday obstacles. By making multiple passes, Scooba
cleans the room more thoroughly.
Scooba will alternate between spiraling, wall
following, and room crossing during a
cleaning cycle.
Spiraling: Enables Scooba to efficiently clean a
large area.
Wall Following: enables Scooba to clean the room
perimeter and navigate around furniture
and obstacles.
Room Crossing: enables Scooba to clean new
areas while crisscrossing the room.
Note: Scooba’s full cleaning cycle takes approximately 45 minutes to clean an average room and
will pass over the same area on the floor multiple times to ensure total coverage. Scooba’s short
cleaning cycle takes approximately 20 minutes to clean a small room.
TIP: For fastest cleaning and best performance, clear your floor of clutter and large debris before
running Scooba. Sweep floor prior to using Scooba.
TIP: You can confine Scooba to a single room using the Virtual Wall (See Virtual Wall section)
included in select models and sold separately. You can purchase this and other Scooba products
online at www.irobot.com.
