5 Things to Know About the Roomba i5+’s Cleaning Navigation

It cleans in neat back-and-forth rows The [Roomba i](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roomba+i&tag=wehavethat-20)5+ moves in straight, parallel lines rather than bouncing randomly around the room.

It cannot learn or save your floor plan The robot never builds a map of your home, so it treats every cleaning session as a new, unplanned route.

You cannot send it to a specific room Without a map, there is no way to command the i5+ to clean only the kitchen or bedroom.

You cannot name or label rooms The vacuum has no concept of individual spaces, so you cannot assign names like “living room” or “office.”

It relies on sensors, not memory The i5+ uses real-time sensors to avoid obstacles and navigate, but it does not remember where it has been or plan future paths.
