Q: QuestionDoes this product have clean mapping?

Asked 1 year ago by Rich.

• A:Answer Hello Rich, The Roomba Essential Combo Vacuum & Mop has mapping technology, but it is not a smart mapping technology like our more advanced models - I, J or S series robots. Instead, it uses a gyroscope and various other sensors to create an internal map and navigate around your house.
