Great video. Two areas you missed; Wipe the camera on the top of the Roomba. Also, wipe the part on the bottom of the roomba that looks like you can insert a thumb. That sensor also helps with mapping and navigation. Great video. I did learn something. It never occurred to me to wipe my docking station. Thank you for that.
This was so good!!!! We just bought this a month ago and my brush had stopped spinning. I was wondering if I was gonna have to return it since today was my last day and I followed your instructions and got it all cleaned off and now it’s working absolutely perfectly! That was a fantastic video. Thank you so much for all your time and making it.😃🙏
*I absolutely love this thing for cleaning all flooring surfaces **MyBest.Tools** even does a great job on throw rugs. Highly recommend! Cuts cleaning time in half!*
Oh My Gosh! I spent over an hour trying to figure mine out. Your’s was the first video I clicked on. Child you taught an ancient granny how to clean her Roomba. You were clear, easy to understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You saved me. I didn't know the caps on the end of the main brushes came off, so I kept getting errors about cleaning the main brushes and couldn't figure out why. Thanks!!
Thank you for a thorough video. I am a housesitter and was having trouble with this vacuum telling me to clear the brushes every few minutes. Your video helped me figure out there was a puzzle piece stuck under the rollers.
I was struggling with putting the green roller rubber brushes back on. In your video I was able to see how to do it thank you so much for sharing. I noticed there was a little helper text inside the area too but I just had flip flopped them the wrong way.
Thank you!!! You are a very good teacher. I just got my iRobot a few weeks ago and it started going through the emptying process 3 times instead of one. Since it sounds like a jet taking off, I wasn't happy with that. I followed your instructions and now it's back to emptying one time when it returns to the base.
You have explained the whole process so well and made it seem very simple. Thank you. God bless you . I’m still on the mapping phase and it’s done 2 runs already, taken forever and still managed to get super dirty. Cleaning it now to do a third run now so that I can finally start using this thing to clean 😂
Thank you so much. After watching your video I learned there where parts that could come out that I never knew and found wrapped hair the I didn't even know was there! Also discovered I spent 20 minutes trying to fit those rubber grippers in backwards. Awesome video. Thanks again!
Excellent explanation! This was the first video that came up in my search. Thanks for guiding me through cleaning (a much needed cleaning) my Roomba i7. I also ordered replacement rollers and filter on Amazon so my Roomba is as good as new.
I know this video was from 4 years ago and you're quite a bit older now, but I would just like to say that this video was way more helpful than most of the ones made by adults. Thanks!
Roy this video was so useful! Thank you! my roomba wasn’t docking but after following your tutorial it is whizzing round the house scaring my dog again!
Excellent job! I have 3 dogs and a farm, I've had my Roomba for just under 4 weeks and had an amazing amount of hair and dirt everywhere! This made it easy to know what needed to be cleaned.
I watched a few other videos and your video was by far the best. I learned how to take the front caster wheel off and that the grey end caps on the rubber brushes come off from you. Thanks!
😀this was a very comprehensive, but concise presentation on the full maintenance for the IRoomba J7. It is better than the company's setup videos. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you very much for sharing this amazing video!! It helped me “fix” my roomba which had stopped working! I didn’t realize how much hair could get stuck around the sides of the wheel rollers! Thank you very very much for all the details and explaining to me how to fix it ☺️
Great video, Roy. I watch it every time I clean my i7 plus so I don't miss any steps. I just replaced the extraction rollers for the second time, as the dark green one keeps get sliced open by hair cutting into it. The new dark green one looks the same as the light green one now. I rang Roomba to check I ordered the right rollers. They assured me they are the correct ones as they have been redesigned.
Hey thank you! Your video was much more informative than Roomba's own. I learned tonight that I need to clean everything WAY more than I was. I also ended up cleaning the tunnel underneath the beater bars/extractors with a cloth, as that got a little caked on dirt, as well as the full bin sensors. Would be the only bit I'd add.
Had no clue the ends you showed at 4:10 popped off! My roomba was squealing like crazy and I couldn't figure out why till I removed the ends and found a ton of cat hair - thank you for this video.
Thanks so much for making it so easy to understand!! Its my 2nd time watching because I forget things when I tried to do it on my own. Keep it up - you are very good at this!
Wow! I hadn't even thought about popping out the caster wheel. That's what I get for not reading my manual, I am sure. Thank you for this helpful video.
The toughest part about cleaning my Roomba i7 is putting those rubber brushes back on the vacuum cleaner after cleaning them. You make it look so easy.
You did an amazing job explaining how to clean the i7! Thank you very much. I just received one for Christmas and I needed a tutorial since my other IRobot is 9 years old.
I am very proud of you Roy! I’m very impressed that you took it apart AND put it back together! Great job on your video. Just the info I was looking for! Thanks so much! Keep up the good work!
Nice vid! Cleaning my i7+ tonight and really helped. Don’t forget to unscrew the little flapper for the dirt disposal. You can clean that too! Keep up the great work!
You did a great job! You explained everything so well and so simply. Your video helped me realize what I was doing wrong in trying to reinstall the brushes after cleaning. I had put the little end pieces on the brushes backwards - therefore the brushes would not fit back in. I was getting frustrated but I knew that I was probably making it harder than it had to be! Sure enough! Seeing you install the brushes with so much ease made me look closer and I figured it out. Good thing I slowed down and was a little bit patient and didn’t just try and shove the brushes back in. I would’ve surely broken some of the plastic parts! Thanks again for your informative and helpful video!
Great job!!! You helped me so much!! So informational!! I didn't know I could clean half the things you showed me and wasn't sure about the sensors...so helpful!! Thank you sweetie!!
Really helpful, you saved me a lot of time. Initially came to seek answer to one specific cleaning step ; ended up cleaning everything with you. Thanks for taking the time to make that video :-)
Hey Roy, don't know if you're still around but your video was definitely helpful--- to a point. I was looking for a deeper disassemble because my roomba (we named it Wall-E) did NOT detect cat vomit and make a mess :( so I'm figuring out how to completely take it apart to do a deep clean. BUT, your video gave me the confidence to go on lol thank you
Finding this video two years later, but this was exactly my problem too - didn't realize the end caps popped off (shown at 4:08) and couldn't figure out why the app kept saying, "Clean the main brushes". Loved this video! Going to bookmark it for future reference.
Great video! I had already bought all the replacement parts. Now I can just put them away for awhile--everything is working just fine with your advice.
Is this the first TH-cam video without salty people? Are we facing a new era in this content platform? May be we do, may be we don't, either way your video is simple, straightforward and I could not help myself but to give it a big thumb up and thank you!
No cringe at all. Great job, my guy! Very detailed and believe me, I needed the "repeated phrases." So confident now In cleaning and maintenancing my Roomba! Thank you Roy.
Very helpful video. Thank you. One question - while cleaning the cleaning system two wheels, some small black square plastic piece came off and now I have no clue where it goes. Do you know what that plastic piece could be?
Hello, sorry for the late response but the small square in your situation may be something that the robot had picked up in your home. If not then I am not sure what it could be.
This is THE BEST video on cleaning my Roomba!! Thank you soo much!! Do you also have concise & similar easy to follow videos on how to program cleaning jobs?
Great video. Two areas you missed; Wipe the camera on the top of the Roomba. Also, wipe the part on the bottom of the roomba that looks like you can insert a thumb. That sensor also helps with mapping and navigation. Great video. I did learn something. It never occurred to me to wipe my docking station. Thank you for that.

Of course! You're welcome!

I noticed there was a little helper text inside the area too but I just had flip flopped them the wrong way.
Thanks for explaining this so well! I was beginning to think that I was not smart enough to be a Roomba owner
Thank you!!! You are a very good teacher. I just got my iRobot a few weeks ago and it started going through the emptying process 3 times instead of one. Since it sounds like a jet taking off, I wasn't happy with that. I followed your instructions and now it's back to emptying one time when it returns to the base.

THANK YOU BASED ROY
I was having some issues with a few minor parts, namely the front wheel.
Godspeed young man
This is the best tutorial ever! You fixed my roomba.
Glad I could help!
Thank you. You explained so well that I don't have to read the manual! Love your video.

I watched a few other videos and your video was by far the best. I learned how to take the front caster wheel off and that the grey end caps on the rubber brushes come off from you. Thanks!
Thanks for your help! Learned a few new things about my robot! Well done!
😀this was a very comprehensive, but concise presentation on the full maintenance for the IRoomba J7. It is better than the company's setup videos. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for doing this video. I was looking for one to help explain how to regularly clean our robot, and your video was the ticket. Great job!
Thank you! Perfect! I was feeling cranky until you helped me with this video. Easy to understand and clear.
Great video! Easy to follow. I cleaned my i7+ the first time today without any issue. Thanks a lot.
love to see young ppl are not scared of screws and nuts!!! Good job kid!
My guy, this video deserves a million views. Great step by step!

This was very helpful! Much better explained than in the guide! Thanks!
Great video! Thanks so much. I could not figure out how to clean the rollers. You are a life saver!
Yes! Great video. So easy. My poor Roomba needed a good service.
I am very proud of you Roy! I’m very impressed that you took it apart AND put it back together! Great job on your video. Just the info I was looking for! Thanks so much! Keep up the good work!
I always wash my filter with garden hose.. Good pressure.. White and clean.. always. Saves lots of money. good video.
Nice vid! Cleaning my i7+ tonight and really helped. Don’t forget to unscrew the little flapper for the dirt disposal. You can clean that too! Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It was enormously helpful to me.
No problem!
Thank you so much.... I'll clean my Roomba later today. Your video was very instructive.
Thanks! I didn't have a manual with mine, just a quick start guide, so I went straight to TH-cam.
Thank you so much Roy I couldn't figure out how to get the bin off. How simple.
Thank you 😊 You did a great job. I followed right along with you and my Roomba is working fine.
Such a great video. Excellent job and thank you. So concise yet has all the details. Well done!
It's always so satisfying every time I do this
Best how-to video ever! Thank you!
Really helpful, you saved me a lot of time. Initially came to seek answer to one specific cleaning step ; ended up cleaning everything with you. Thanks for taking the time to make that video :-)
TritonJovial no problem!

Great video! Just got an i7 for my folks with a dog and it needed a nice good cleaning after just 4 months of cleaning up dog hair!
Thanks, I didn’t know the end caps popped off of the debris extractors. I couldn’t figure out why it kept telling me to clean them.
LarryBird374 no problem!
Finding this video two years later, but this was exactly my problem too - didn't realize the end caps popped off (shown at 4:08) and couldn't figure out why the app kept saying, "Clean the main brushes". Loved this video! Going to bookmark it for future reference.
This young man is going places
Thank you for making this! It was really easy to do, and mine was in desperate need of this cleaning!
This was SO helpful. It was so satisfying getting all that gunk out of there.
I know right! Having the robot work better again is great as well!
still useful. Suggestion, Roomba suggests a "Magic Eraser" on the contacts.
🙂
Keep up the great work with making your videos, very detailed and easy to follow, thank you!! xx.
Thank you. Very helpful. I can't believe you don't have a million views!
Great video! I had already bought all the replacement parts. Now I can just put them away for awhile--everything is working just fine with your advice.
Excellent job!
Great video! Why would anyone give a thumbs down? Haters gotta hate I guess. Thanks
Awesome your video helped me immensely!
Thanks to you I have figured out how to properly clean and reinstall pickup rollers! Great vid!
No problem, here to help!
Is this the first TH-cam video without salty people? Are we facing a new era in this content platform? May be we do, may be we don't, either way your video is simple, straightforward and I could not help myself but to give it a big thumb up and thank you!
Keep up the good work! This video really helped me.
Very useful video. Thank you!!
I really enjoyed your video. Now am going to clean my roomba 😉
Good job! Just ordered one and wanted to know what I was doing before I even opened the box, this definitely helped a lot! Thanks!
No problem! (but just a quick note, the i7 has almost no suction power so you might wanna think about upgrading haha)
perfect made and very symphatic, thank you!
Thanks man, helped alot. Keep up the good work
thanks buddy, great video! and i did not know that i could take the bin minus the air filter and clean, keep up the great posts :)
This is very informative. Way to go!
Thanks so much for this helpful video! I have a brand new iRobot 7+ and this will give me confidence in cleaning it going forward! :-D
Thanks for the great detailed video! Super helpful!
Excellent very helpful since we got ours used from our son and without instructions.
No cringe at all. Great job, my guy! Very detailed and believe me, I needed the "repeated phrases." So confident now In cleaning and maintenancing my Roomba! Thank you Roy.
Thanks a lot for that video m8)
