Introducing the Roomba Pro | Pro Elite FloorVac
Welcome to the next generation of Roomba innovation and convenience. The new Roomba Pro and Roomba Pro Elite
Robotic FloorVacs have all the great features of the original Roomba,plus many improvements.Roomba Pro and Pro Elite
are easier to use and maintain,and feature new ways to clean what you want,where you want,and when you want —
at the touch of a button.
Your Roomba Pro | Pro Elite FloorVac is a hard-working,robotic floor-cleaning appliance that eliminates the need to
push it or follow it around.It keeps your hard-surface floors and low- to medium-pile carpets barefoot clean with a
unique three-stage cleaning process.Roomba effectively cleans most common household floor surfaces with little or no
human supervision.
How Roomba cleans a room
When Roomba starts a typical cleaning cycle it
first travels around the floor in a spiral pattern
(see Figure 1).Its Non-Marring Bumper will contact
a wall,or it may try to find a wall after spiraling for
a while.Roomba follows the wall for a short period
of time,using its spinning, Edge-Cleaning Side Brush
to move debris away from the wall and into the
Vacuum’s path. After cleaning along a portion of the
wall or other object,Roomba crisscrosses the room in
straight lines.For most of Roomba’s cleaning cycles,
Roomba repeats this cleaning pattern until its cleaning
time has elapsed,providing maximum coverage
of the room.In new Spot Cleaning mode (new in
Pro and Pro Elite),Roomba cleans a 3-foot-diameter
area using a slow,high-efficiency spiral pattern.This
pattern allows Roomba to focus intense cleaning over a
soiled area.In new MAX Cleaning mode (Pro Elite or
Remote), Roomba excels at cleaning multiple rooms,or
an extra large area — at the touch of a single button.
