Manufacturers Price - This is the manufactures retail price.
 
Charge Time - This is how long it takes for Roomba to fully recharge after a normal cleaning cycle. A brand new unit, or a unit thats been left uncharged for a long time, requires a 16 hour initial charge.
 
Rooms per Charge - This is the number of average sized rooms the model will clean before recharging is required. Deep pile carpet is not recommended and will reduce this value.
 
Virtual Walls - The number of virtual walls the model comes with. Virtual walls are used to confine Roomba to a specific room or area.
 
X's  - Indicate additional features and equipment the particular model comes with from the manufacturer. Some listings on eBay may not have all these extras, some are used and some are refurbished. Please check the listing's details before bidding. Units listed as NEW should come with the extras indicated above.
 
Detects Dirt - If Roomba detects an very dirty area, it will spend more time cleaning that area.
 
Spot Mode - Roomba will spiral out approximately 3 feet in diameterfrom where it's placed and then spiral back to where it started, intensely cleaning a localized area.
 
Anti-tangle Technology - When Roomba senses it has picked up a cord or tassel, it will automatically stop and reverse its main brushes or side brush and try to escape.
 
Voice Demonstration - These models feature a voice demonstration to walk you through using Roomba.
 
500 Series Cleaning system - These models feature a patented three-stage cleaning system.
 
Light Touch Bumpers - Roomba uses its Light Touch Bumper technology to identify walls and other obstacles, allowing it to slow down and gently touch the obstacle with its bumper before changing direction.
 
Self-charging Home Base - Roomba returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.
 
Lighthouse Technology - Helps Roomba navigate around your home, find the Home Base, and allows Roomba to clean one room before starting the next.
 
On-board Scheduling - Allows you to program Roomba to clean when you are gone or when you are sleeping.
 
Wireless Command Center - The Wireless Command Center lets you  control Roomba’s functions. You can use it to turn Roomba on and off, schedule it to clean, and steer it around your room. (It's like a TV remote control.) The Wireless Command Center is compatible with Models 535 and above only. It is included with Models 570 and above, and is otherwise available as an accessory.
 
High-capacity Sweeper Bin - Best for dirty, high traffic or very large areas.This oversized bin holds 3 times the dirt as the Vacuuming Debris Bin.
 
Vacuuming Debris Bin - For routine vacuuming of floors and carpets. Smaller than the High-capacity bin.
 
Max Mode - Roomba cleans until the battery is almost dead, then it goes to it's Home Base, if it has one. No Home Base? - Roomba will clean till the battery is dead and then you have to recharge it manually.
