Has anyone else had a Roomba charging base contact get stuck down more than once?

I bought my Roomba in December 2024. By July 2025, it stopped charging because one of the metal charging contacts on the base became stuck in the down position.

I contacted iRobot, and the case was escalated to their Safety Department. They sent me a replacement charging base.

Now, almost exactly one year later, the replacement base has failed in the exact same way. One of the metal contacts is stuck down again, so the Roomba cannot charge properly.

I called iRobot today, sent them photos of the contact on the base and the contact on the Roomba, and they opened a new case and escalated it to the Safety Department again.

Has anyone else experienced this same issue, especially with a replacement base? Did iRobot replace just the base again, replace the full unit, or offer a refund? I’m really frustrated that the same exact issue is happening again.

Hello!

After waiting a few months I finally got the Cat Mini 6 yesterday. So far, I really do love it! My only issue is the battery. I believe I had read that I needed to keep it on the charger for 2 hours and I did and it never went past 92%.

My cat was out all night and he came back inside at 72% so I figured eh what the heck I’ll just charge it since it’s hot outside and he’s in for awhile. Again, on the charger for more than 2 hours and it went from 72% to 90% (no in between, I checked within the first hour and it said 72% still). Anyway in the last hour it has gone from 90% to 91%.

Is this normal? Do I need to contact them?

Hey friends.

Halfway through my first pregnancy and I would love to get a little tiny library set up for my girl. Do you have any suggestions for best used bookstores or any online retailers that sell used books for a reasonable price?
