iRobot Roomba i7 Faq

Q. What is Imprint™ Smart Mapping?
A: Smart Mapping technology describes the robot's ability to learn, map and adapt to your home.
Roomba® i7 learns your floor plan as it cleans and remembers this map for future cleaning jobs
– this enables the robot to determine the best way to clean based on the orientation of each room,
furniture placement, etc. Once the robot has learned your space and you have labeled your
rooms, your Smart Map also enables you to clean a room, multiple rooms, or an entire level of
your home all from the iRobot HOME App.
Q. How does Roomba® i7 build its Smart Map and know your rooms?
A. Roomba® i7 builds a map of the area each time it starts a new cleaning job. After cleaning the
same space a few times, Roomba® i7 will produce a Smart Map that is pre-segmented into
different spaces or rooms. This map can be customized in the iRobot HOME App. You can
merge, split and label rooms as you see fit. After that, you can schedule the Roomba® i7 to clean
certain rooms at certain times, or have the robot clean an entire level of your home.
Q. Can the Roomba® i7 remember more than one floor plan?
A. Yes! The Roomba® i7 can remember up to 10 unique floor plans, so you can carry the robot
to a different floor or a different home. As long at the robot has mapped the space, it will
recognize its location and clean as directed.
Q. How often does the robot's bin need to be emptied?
A. Emptying frequency varies by household and depends upon factors such as floor surfaces
being cleaned and whether or not you have pets. When the robot's bin is full, you will receive a
notification through the iRobot HOME App. Roomba® i7 is also compatible with Clean Base™
Automatic Dirt Disposal (sold separately and as a combo - model name Roomba® i7+). Clean
Base™ automatically empties the robot's bin each time it docks or whenever its bin is full, and is
designed to hold 30 robot bins of dirt and debris so you can forget about vacuuming for weeks at
a time.
Q. Can the Clean Base™ be purchased separately?
A. Yes, the Clean Base™ can be purchased separately for $299.99. When purchased separately,
Clean Base™ comes with a specially-designed robot dust bin which allows it to work with the
dirt disposal. Just replace your original bin with the new one and you're ready to go.
Q: Is the robot bin dishwasher safe?
A: No. The washable bin should be rinsed by hand using warm water. Important: Be sure to
remove the filter before rinsing the bin. Allow bin to dry completely before reinstalling the filter.
