    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    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 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!

    @nicolefusco9609 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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 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 ☺️

  • @DrJGrieves
    @DrJGrieves 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

    I was having some issues with a few minor parts, namely the front wheel.

    @wmeganjoy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @teresaoconnor9188

    @JasleenAulakh 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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 😂

      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.

    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.

  • @kitzmktg
    @kitzmktg 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    still useful. Suggestion, Roomba suggests a "Magic Eraser" on the contacts.

  • @JakeAMcDermott
    @JakeAMcDermott 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    @lilmissg6624 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

    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

  • @authordancerpoetgift

    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.
