r/roomba

I have no idea why it’s doing this. I went to set it to mop and it said it wasn’t detecting the mop pad. Took the bin out, cleaned the contacts, made sure water was full, reattached the mop several times and it would just be stuck in this loop.

I did a factory reset and once it turned on after the factory reset, it went back into repeating itself. I have no clue what to do.

My Roomba 980 stopped charging / functioning a couple of weeks ago. I’ve thoroughly cleaned the contacts on the charging base and also the contacts on the Roomba itself using isopropyl alcohol and a Magic Eraser — and I have also replaced the battery. Still no luck. The Roomba is making a low-volume “chirping” sound every 15 seconds or so, and I cannot seem to “wake it up.”

Any suggestions (other than taking a 12 ga. shotgun to it)? Thanks in advance.

Bought an i8+ off Facebook marketplace and after getting it home saw it only had 1 sweeper because it seems like the plastic piece you screw the brush into is broken/ missing. Am I SOL for this piece? Thanks!

I've had this roomba given to me from a friend that was moving. He said that it was working but had sat in storage for a little before he gave it to me.

I've had it plugged in for over an hour now and stays in this boot mode or something.

Has anyone got an idea what's wrong with it or maybe a new battery is needed.

I have a multimeter to test

I had started at 7:34am and forced it to stop around 9:30pm. I got this to replace my first irobot that would clean the place in just an hour or so. My settings for this new one was only spot clean on the lowest setting, no mopping, just light vacuuming. I’m about to send this back to Costco, incredibly disappointed with this. Has anyone else dealt with this before?

My Roomba i6 can't seem to get up the ramp to dock any more. It tries 3 or 4 times, then turns around and scoots away to sulk in the middle of the floor 6 feet away with its back to the dock.

I have cleaned the sensors, the docking station, the little tiny windows and cameras, the wheels, the rollers - everything.

I checked to make sure the front wheel wasn't too low causing the body to hung up; the tread on the main wheels looks good and it isn't slipping. It really seems like the motor powering the main wheels just isn't strong enough any more to power it into place those last 2 inches it needs for it to dock.

I’m unable to push the start button because there’s a small kitten on it…

I just got an old model on marketplace and it works fantastic for pet hair!

Roomba used to vacuum in even lines but now it seems like a random free for all. How do I fix this??

how do i fix this, its not working anymore

Bought a Roomba 105 because my last model was 7 years old and replacement parts were getting as expensive as buying a new lower end model. I understand that the 105 is cheap but I have a small house and I assumed that it would work as well as my old one given the time between technological upgrades. I've mapped the house and set everything up. I had this issue last week and was sent a replacement battery from the company as they diagnosed it with a faulty one. I replaced the battery and have had the same results. I have attached images showing the map of my house and the run time. Any help or information would be appreciated. If I need to buy a better Roomba I will be happy to, although I don't want a mop combo and I would prefer one that does not self empty. Also this Roomba is 2 weeks old. Thanks

My Roomba j7+ keeps returning home due to a low battery after about 5-10 minutes of cleaning, despite the battery being fairly full. After it empties itself the battery displays itself as the lowest battery level. Tbf I got this off of facebook marketplace with no prior knowledge of its usage history, how should I fix this? Thanks!

It's a Roomba 105 we've had for just about 6 months, but it began making this noise 4-6 weeks ago. Everything (brushes, tank, etc.) is fully cleaned out. Ty in advance for any insights or tips!!!

In the video you see the wet floor that is because I put decks of cards on the back for the back end to drag more because if I don't do this the pad barely touches the floor even when the pump makes it saturated wet. The only way it makes full contact is if I saturate it myself at the sink.

Sometimes it makes contact but then again it barely uses the pad and leaves 2 streaks.

This unit is 1 week old. I can return it but I got it from Amazon - am I doing something wrong?

It's like the pump is working but it doesn't want to tilt backwards on its own naturally or let the pad sit fully down, the wheels have no gunk in them.
