You can get your Roomba repaired at the official iRobot service center, authorized repair centers, or through independent repair services. It is recommended to check if your Roomba is still under warranty before having it repaired and to choose a reputable repair service.

Yes, Roomba can clean dog hair. In fact, Roomba is designed to pick up hair, dirt, and debris on various surfaces including carpets, hardwood floors, tiles, and more. It uses a combination of brushes, suction, and advanced sensors to navigate around your home and clean up pet hair. Some Roomba models even come with special brushes that are designed to handle pet hair more effectively. However, it’s important to note that if your dog sheds excessively, you may need to clean the bin and brushes more frequently to ensure optimal performance.

Roomba can be purchased from various online stores such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and the official iRobot website. They can also be purchased from physical stores such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. It is important to compare prices and features before making a purchase.

If the Roomba misses a room, it will not be cleaned, and some areas of the house will remain dirty. The device uses sensors to navigate around the room, and if it fails to detect some corners, objects, or obstacles, it may skip the area or leave it partially cleaned. Additionally, the Roomba may return to the docking station before completing the cleaning cycle, which may cause it to miss some rooms entirely.

Yes, you can put your Roomba on another floor. However, you will need to ensure that the floor is free from any obstacles or objects that can damage the Roomba. It’s also important to note that Roomba models with mapping technology may have difficulty navigating unfamiliar areas or if the layout of the new floor is different from the original floor plan.

Roomba does have a few sound effects such as beeps and tones to indicate different actions such as starting, stopping, or if there is an error. However, it does not have the capability to talk or communicate in a human-like voice.

Yes, there are quiet Roomba models available on the market now. Companies like iRobot have engineered models like the Roomba i7+ to operate at a maximum noise level of 68 decibels, which is about as loud as a conversation spoken at normal voice levels. These models are a little more expensive than the standard models, but they’re worth it for those who prefer a robotic vacuum that doesn’t make too much noise.

No, your Roomba is not spying on you. While it does have sensors and cameras to navigate and clean your home, it is not programmed to record or transmit any personal information. The data it collects is solely used for improving its cleaning performance and to help maps out the layout of your home.

To send Roomba home with Alexa, you first need to have both Roomba and Alexa set up and working. Then, you can simply give Alexa a voice command to return Roomba to its docking station. For example, you can say “Alexa, tell Roomba to go home” or “Alexa, ask Roomba to dock.” The Roomba will then stop cleaning and navigate back to its docking station to recharge.
