Robot-Vacuums

FAQ’s

What are the benefits of onboard compacting?

With this first-of-its-kind technology, the robot’s mechanical compactor continuously compresses debris onboard as it vacuums so it can keep on cleaning for up to 60 days before you need to empty it.

How do I set up the robot? Set up is simple. 

Just unbox, plug in the charger and download the Roomba^® Home App. Follow the prompts and in a few minutes your robot is ready.

Does the robot vacuum and mop at the same time?
Yes and the choice is yours! Your robot has 3 cleaning modes: vacuum only, mop only, or combination vac+mop. And it automatically avoids carpets in vac+mop or mop-only cleaning modes, no need to stress over extra mess.

How well does it vacuum?
A great vacuum is more than just power (though this one is equipped with 7000Pa of intense suction, it’s the details that deliver. Specialised brushes pull up dirt or dust from carpets and dust bunnies from hard-to-reach corners.

How does the mopping function work?
It’s just 3 easy steps to mop – fill the robot’s bin tank with water or cleaning solution⁴, slide the bin back into the robot, and add the mopping pad. Microfiber mop pads can be used up to 30x and Roomba^® even detects & avoids mopping on carpets.

How does the home mapping work?
ClearView™ LiDAR scans your space to create up to 3 maps, even on different levels of your home, that you can customize in the Roomba^® Home App. Mapping takes only 10 minutes⁶, and then your Roomba® robot is ready to navigate smoothly and avoid obstacles.

What kind of maintenance is required?
To keep your robot operating smoothly, you’ll perform basic care and maintenance including wiping out the bin as needed, wiping down charging contacts, occasional brush-cleaning and changing the filter every 3-6 months. Please check the owner’s guide for detailed maintenance instructions.
