Yes, Roomba makes a map of the area it cleans. Roomba uses its built-in sensors and cameras to create a floor plan of the room it is cleaning. This allows Roomba to efficiently navigate around furniture and other obstacles and make sure it covers every part of the room. The map is stored in Roomba’s memory and can be accessed by the user through the companion app.

To make a Roomba go to its dock, you need to ensure that the dock is placed in a location that is easily accessible and available. Next, press the Dock button on the Roomba, and it will start to look for its dock and start moving towards it. If the Roomba is facing away from the dock, you can manually turn it so that it faces the dock. Once the Roomba reaches the dock, it will automatically start charging.

Yes, you can use Roomba on carpet. In fact, many models of Roomba are specifically designed to work well on carpeted floors, using powerful suction and brushes to remove dirt and debris from deep within the fibers. However, some older or less powerful models may struggle with thicker or denser carpets and may require additional passes or adjustments to effectively clean.

If your Roomba is not holding a charge or running for as long as it used to, it may be time for a new battery. You can try resetting your Roomba or cleaning the contacts first, but if the issue persists, a new battery will likely be necessary.

Roomba might not go home due to several reasons. One of the common reasons is that the sensors on the Roomba could be dirty or contaminated which affects its ability to map out the cleaning area. Another reason could be that the charging dock is not accessible due to furniture or other obstacles. Additionally, if the battery level is low, Roomba could prolong its cleaning session to cover more ground, leading to it not going home immediately.

To remove a Roomba wheel, firstly turn the robot over and locate the wheel that needs to be removed. Then, find the small locking tab that holds the wheel in place. Press this tab and slide the wheel out of the Roomba’s wheel cavity. Once the wheel is removed, it can be cleaned or replaced as necessary.

To turn on Roomba, press and hold the Clean button on the device or the Play/Pause button on the app until it beeps and its light turns on. Make sure the Roomba is charged and the dustbin is emptied before starting the cleaning process.

No, the Roomba side brush does not always spin. It is designed to rotate periodically throughout the cleaning cycle, depending on the specific pattern programmed into the Roomba’s cleaning algorithms. The side brush helps to sweep dirt and debris from corners and edges of rooms, and its intermittent spinning is intended to provide the most efficient and effective cleaning possible.

There could be a few reasons why your Roomba brush is not spinning. It could be due to tangled or stuck debris in the brush, a malfunctioning motor, a loose or broken belt, or a faulty brush module. It is recommended to clean the brush and check for any visible damage before contacting customer support.
