What Maintenance Does Roomba Require?
Regular Maintenance Overview
Roomba requires very little maintenance. However, following the guidelines
outlined below will help ensure that your Roomba stays healthy and helpful.
After each use:
• Empty Roomba's Particle Bin.
• Check to make sure the Air Filter (attached to the Filter Door on the
underside of Roomba's Particle Bin) is in good shape and isn't punctured.
If it is, then replace the Air Filter.
After every 10 floor cleanings*:
• Remove and clean the two Main Brushes. Make sure to clean the ends of
the Main Cleaning Brushes (the Brush Axles) as hair and other debris can
tend to build up there. Reinstall the Brushes when finished.
• Verify that there is nothing wound around the Spinning Side Brush. If there
is, remove it. If you need to, you can remove the Side Brush.
• Verify that there is no debris on the Wheels or their axles that prevents
them from turning normally.
• Check for any dirt or fuzz obstructing the Cliff Sensors (the four small pits
located underneath Roomba, just inside the edge of the Front Bumper).
• Check to make sure that the Vacuum Inlet is not clogged with debris. The
Vacuum Inlet is located under the clear Vacuum Inlet Lid on Roomba's
underside. If it is clogged, open and unclog the Vacuum Inlet.
*If you have a pet or long hair in your home:
You may need to remove hair and other debris from Roomba more frequently,
with a special emphasis on the Main Cleaning Brushes. Remove and clean the
Main Brushes (including their ends, or Axles) every five floor cleanings to
prevent build-up of hair, which can degrade cleaning performance. The Main
Brush Axles cannot be fully cleaned without removing the Brushes from Roomba.
