  • you can't have a smart cleaning robot without some app to monitor or deliver orders; here, I walk through the app and the neat features it has

    note: just because we get a ton of comments about not having features ... we have the i7+. this model has the smart mapping feature

    Hi I just bought an IRobot i1+ and installed the app IRobot home but it doesn't have the features of room dividers, room labels, etc. Is what you have specific to only other IRobots?

    Can you rotate the zones? I have a corner flat and my current robot vacuum (Conga) is very annoying because the entire map is angled and my zones are oriented in such a way as you make creating tight no-go zones for a heavy rug misaligned (and therefore have to be huge to cover the whole thing)

    I have a question , should i keep the clean base connected to electricity all the time , or can i unplug it when going to bed and then replug it when i wakeup, cuz i’m using 220 v converter and it scares me to leave it plugged in?? sorry if i wasn’t clear english ain’t my first language ,also will unplugging it erase scheduling and stuff ?

    • @ryanmmoore1977
      @ryanmmoore1977  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I leave mine plugged in all the time. At the end of the day you only need it to charge the robot and run the emptying bin part... I can't imagine the hassle of plugging it in and off is less than just leaving it on

  • @joranvanmoer1677

    Thanks! This video was very helpful :-) How long does it take the Roomba to have mapped the floor so you can define different rooms? So far after six runs it hasn't mapped the ground floor yet. Should I wait for the ground floor to be mapped before I use it on a different floor? I wonder what your experiences are :-)

    • @ryanmmoore1977
      @ryanmmoore1977  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well we only ran it on the one floor for a while before trying the others so the map had formed.
      To get the map you're going to have to check what kinda run its going on. Just that free for all clean style and let it go. Took about 4 or 5 for us to have a basic map and then tweaked it/updated as it did more.

    I’m looking to buy my first Roomba so I’m not really sure which one I should go with! I’ve been looking into the 981. Would you have any recommendations? It’s just my kitty and myself here, and we share a one floor apartment. Biggest concern is the poor vacuum falling to it’s death, as I’m on the second floor and my door is at the bottom of my steps. I’ve watched a video or two and I see that they can stop themselves, but it still worries me a little 😅

    • @ryanmmoore1977
      @ryanmmoore1977  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      they do stop themselves, so no worries there. personally i like my i7+ ... having the dirt base and the interactive map (i.e. labelling parts of the room and saying "clean under the couch") is so worth it.

  • @jonathanskeele854
    @jonathanskeele854 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You move the Roomba to 2nd floor or basement (pick it up, move, and it recognizes where it is). My question: can I move the base also from 1st to 2nd floor so that Roomba can empty and recharge no matter which floor it is on?

    • @saraneharrell7702
      @saraneharrell7702 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the same question. Did you get an answer? I’m considering buying a 2nd base because moving the base upstairs seems to confuse the robot. It combines my two floors into the same map. And, then it seems like it can never figure out how to get “home”.

    What can you do if your robot finds a new space after mapping? Like if I’m vacuuming the office but finds a new space like the other side of the office

    • @ryanmmoore1977

    • @ryanmmoore1977

      Was the room accessible for it to get into? Sometimes it takes a few runs for it to recognize there is a "separation" between two spaces.
      There is a way in the map to manually split the room as well.
