Roomba i7 and i7+ have rubber brushes instead of bristle brushes. The rubber brushes are designed to grab and lift pet hair, dust, dirt, and debris from carpets and hard floors without getting tangled. They also last longer and are easier to clean than traditional brushes.

To clean the front wheel of Roomba, first, remove the wheel cover by pressing the tab, and then slide it out. Use a brush or a cloth to remove any dirt, hair or debris that may be stuck on the wheel. Inspect the wheel and the axle for any damages, and if necessary, replace the wheel. Finally, reattach the wheel cover by aligning the tab and pressing it firmly into place.

Marble floors are significant investments that add a touch of class and elegance to any home. However, maintaining their pristine condition requires a lot of effort and time. Luckily, with the advancements in technology, intelligent home cleaning devices like the Roomba have emerged to make cleaning floors easier and efficient. However, not all Roomba models … Read more

To turn off Roomba cliff sensors, simply flip the robot over and remove the bottom cover. Locate the set of three sensors near the front edge of the robot and unplug them from the circuit board. Reattach the bottom cover and turn the Roomba back over. The cliff sensors will no longer detect drop-offs and the robot will continue to clean even on surfaces without a defined edge.

Yes, Roomba automatically returns to its charging dock when the battery is low or when it has completed its cleaning cycle. Once it’s fully charged, it resumes its cleaning cycle from where it left off. This enables Roomba to be fully charged and ready to clean anytime.

The time it takes for a Roomba to map a room depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the layout. Generally, it takes around 45 minutes to an hour for a Roomba to map a medium-sized room. After the initial mapping, it will continue to refine the map with each cleaning cycle.

Yes, Roomba works with Alexa. Through the integration of the iRobot HOME app with Alexa, users can control their Roomba robot vacuum cleaner with voice commands via Echo devices. They can start, stop, pause, or even dock their Roomba using the Alexa voice assistant. Additionally, users can check the status of their Roomba’s cleaning progress, ask for battery level, or schedule cleaning sessions using the iRobot HOME app integrated with Alexa.

To send Roomba home from the app, open the iRobot HOME App on your phone and select the Roomba you want to return to its charging dock. Tap on the “Dock” icon and Roomba will immediately start heading towards its charging dock and will dock itself automatically. You can also schedule Roomba to automatically return home at a specific time or initiate the return-to-home function using the voice command feature.

There could be several reasons why your Roomba won’t connect to the cloud. It could be due to a weak Wi-Fi signal, incorrect Wi-Fi credentials, an outdated Roomba firmware, or issues with the Roomba’s cloud server. It is recommended to troubleshoot these issues by checking your Wi-Fi network, resetting your Roomba and Wi-Fi router, and contacting the Roomba customer support team if necessary.

Roomba uses a combination of sensors and programming to know when to dock. It has sensors that detect the charging station’s infrared signal. When Roomba’s battery charge drops below a certain level, it uses its programming to search for the infrared signal. Once the signal is found, Roomba navigates towards the docking station and uses sensors to line itself up and connect with the charging contacts.
