Cleaning Modes
Roomba will clean based on the cleaning mode you select. Roomba has three cleaning modes.
Clean Mode (all models)
Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning time appropriately.
Spot Mode (all models)
Roomba will spiral approximately three feet in diameter and then spiral back to where it started, intensely cleaning a localized area.
Scheduled Cleaning Mode (Models 550 and above)
When a future cleaning time is programmed, Roomba enters Scheduled Cleaning Mode. When scheduled to clean, Roomba will occasionally flash its next cleaning time to remind you of its schedule. At the specified time, Roomba leaves its Home Base, cleans, and then returns to the Home Base to recharge when it’s done.
