Echoing all the other comments but this is exactly what I needed! The app didn't say this was the issue and kept saying it was the base, but turns out the dust bin on the roomba itself was partially clogged. Gave it a good cleaning and we are back in business!
Thank you for your comment! And I just figured out how to open the bin on the J9+ too! That took me a while to figure out. Stay tuned for a video on just that.
I'm hating my Roomba J9+... 3 times sent to the customer service, changed the base for a new one, today I can't get it to refill the tank and I'm thinking to send it to the customer service for the 4th time. All previous Roomba have been working for years without a single issue (and I'm actually still using them), but this one, I have to manually clean it after every single cleaning session. 😭
Thank you for your comment. It was a bit tricky opening the dust bin at first! It’s not like my other IRobot vacuums. It took the customer service rep a few minutes to help me figure that out too. 😅
EASIEST FIX FOR EMPTY BIN PROMT NOT WORKING!!! We suffered the empty bin mode not working. It would disappear from the app dashboard when you pressed it and not reappear until later.we spoke to customer service and I did everything suggested for the j6. Rebooting, blowing out the dust behind the bumper, removing the vac tube under the tower, making sure there were no blockages, blah blah blah blah . . . Nothing worked until i did a factory reset from the app and saved the map option. The empty bin worked perfectly. It will also force update the software. They never suggested it. Dumb asses.
Thank you for your comment. It's a little bit of a learning curve for this model, but I am enjoying it more than I thought I would. I do (a little bit) miss the old robots that just bumped around!!
Thank you. You're the only guide that actually showed me how to do this with my specific model. ❤ Everything else seems to be the previous model.
it's the same for i and j series , what ppl do, is forget to clean the plastic inside the bin , and obviously it's there that dust gather
Thank you for your comment. This is true especially if you have pets and long haired cats!
I’m glad my video helped. Let me know if you have any questions or other comments!
Thank you for your comment. I never know if my videos help, make sense or confuse people!!

Hi! Thanks for being the only clear instruction on how to even remove the bin in the first place 😅
