Cleaning System - iRobot Roomba 510 Owner's Manual

Cleaning System

Roomba features a patented three-stage cleaning system.
Side brush sweeps

along edge of walls
and into corners.
Floor Surfaces
Roomba works on wood, carpet, tile, vinyl, and linoleum, and adjusts
automatically to different floor types.
Roomba automatically senses stairs and other cliffs. Roomba might stall
when confronting rounded edges and might slide over particularly slippery
surfaces. Extremely dark-colored floors may contribute to Roomba's sensors
working less effectively.
Anti-tangle system
Roomba won't get stuck on cords, carpet fringe or tassels. When Roomba
senses it has picked up a cord or tassel, it will automatically stop its main
brushes or side brush and try to escape. Roomba may make a clicking noise
when anti-tangle is activated.
