help iRobot Roomba FAQ
Which Roomba features depend on the exact model?
Roomba is a whole iRobot product line that started in 2002, so features vary a lot by generation. Wi-Fi app control, room mapping, obstacle avoidance, and self-emptying Clean Base support are model-specific.
Does a Roomba map the house or just bump around?
Older Roomba models used simpler reactive navigation and bumper sensors, while newer iRobot models can build maps and clean specific rooms through the iRobot Home app. If room-by-room control matters, check for mapping support before buying.
Can a Roomba replace vacuuming for pet hair?
It can reduce daily hair and dust, especially on hard floors, but rollers and bins still need regular cleaning. Pet owners should look for rubber brush models and, if budget allows, a self-emptying dock from the i or j series.
What does Roomba do when its battery runs low?
Most modern Roomba models return to a charging dock when the battery is low or the job is done. Higher-end models can recharge and resume, while basic models may simply dock and wait for the next scheduled clean.
