Extra Brush Kit
Includes one each 500 Series replacement bristle brush and replacement flexible beater brush.

LightHouse Technology
iRobot Roomba 500 Series (models 535 and up) use Lighthouse technology to achieve the most thorough room-to-room cleaning. Lighthouse technology is available on a Virtual Wall/Lighthouse. When set to Lighthouse mode, it uses infrared beams to confine Roomba to one room until that room is completely vacuumed before allowing Roomba to move on to the next room. It can also be set to Virtual Wall to block off-limit areas. Each Virtual Wall Lighthouse requires two C batteries (not included).

LightTouch Bumpers
Roomba identifies furniture and other obstacles, slow its approach then lightly and gently touch the obstacle with its bumper and changes direction.

Measuring Cup
A special measuring cup for Scooba whereby a white mark has been placed to mark the level at which the Scooba Chlorox juice should be filled.

On-board Scheduling
Schedule Roomba to clean automatically on the most appropriate timing.

Spot Mode
Spot Clean provides quick clean-up of spills and concentrated messes. Simply place Roomba on the spot and press the Spot button.

Self-Charging Home Base
Roomba automatically returns to the self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleaning cycles.

Virtual Wall
Creates an invisible barrier to keep Roomba out of off-limit areas. Scheduling activates Roomba at preset times.

Wireless Command Center
Conveniently control and steer Roomba remotely or program up to seven cleaning days and times per week for Roomba to clean when it’s most convenient for you.
