Floor surfaces Roomba works on wood, carpet, tile, vinyl, and linoleum, and will automatically transition between different floor types. Roomba is not recommended for shag carpet or rugs with tassels. iRobot Roomba Owner’s Manual...
Cleaning Modes Roomba will clean based on the cleaning mode you select. Roomba has up to four cleaning modes, depending on your model: Clean Mode (all models) Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning time appropriately. Roomba may clean for up to 60 minutes.
Battery life To extend the battery life, we recommend storing Roomba’s battery in the robot with the power supply plugged in, or with Roomba on the Home Base. If stored correctly, Roomba’s battery will take less than 3 hours to recharge.

The Virtual Walls can be set to block an area ranging from three to eight feet long. TIP: use the Virtual walls to block doorways or to keep roomba away from cords. Confining roomba to a single room will accelerate cleaning.
