I'd like to know how it goes about its business. Does it just randomly bounce off the walls like a childs toy or do you have to start it against a wall? How do you know it does a complete job? --Hooperbloob 14:02, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I assume it uses similar algorithms to the roomba. See the description there. Staecker 16:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
It alternates between spiraling, random walk with bouncing off the walls, and going along the walls. When it does a complete job, it stops, switches on the corresponding light, and plays several notes. --Urod 01:41, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using vinegar in lieu of clorox solution?

How legitmate is the suggestion that this substitution can be made? I don't see it mentioned in an official documentation and I would rather not break the thing. I do have some tile that can only be cleaned with a white vinegar solution though and it would helpful to not have to do it by hand.
