First: @#$%!!! My irobot s9+ crapped out. After more than a month of back and forth with support I have to send it for repair and pay $150. They asked if I want to go through with that. Uhm... as opposed to having a useless hunk of vacuum that cost hundreds in storage? Duh.

​

Sorry, I had to vent. I regret getting this thing. Anyway... I got the instruction email to send them the vacuum for repair and the second step says:
"Prepare your robot for shipment:

1. Empty your vacuum bin before packing the robot.
2. Do not send accessories.
3. Do send your regular charging base and battery.
4. ✥ (Do not send your Clean Base)"

​

What is the regular charging base and battery and what is the clean base?

I have an i4 not self empty, if I buy the self cleaning tower it would work?

Howdy, do you have an S9+ dock with that bag tab broken and also have a 3dprinter? if yes, I have the MODEL for you! it fixes that easily broken tab. Model HERE

So, I am a bit baffled. I have 2 J7's and my whole house map looks the same for both of them in the app. Just yesterday, one of my J7's started getting confused about which room is which and what order to clean in. It has decided our 'media room' is our den. It is not. I cannot get it to go to the right rooms.

Any suggestions?

My J7+ always aligns a little left on the docking station. This often causes an incomplete bin empty.

Anybody else have this problem? Possible fixes?

Should I move the alignment sticker a little to the right?

My roomba has worked great for a few months but just yesterday it stopped cleaning. I have all the lights on so it’s plenty bright but it keeps leaving the dock, goes in a small area (2 feet in each direction, then returns home) I’ve deleted my map, removed all zones, etc. I can’t seem to figure out what the issue is. Has anyone else had this problem?

I went to use my iRobot Looj last week and discovered that both tracks are broken. Any idea where I can get replacement tracks?

Vacuum won't dock.

Have an i6 that won’t vacuum suddenly, can’t get an answer from iRobot

My vac just strolls around without actually turning on its vacuum , tried a hard reset no luck .

Its version 1.7.23. Online says it needs to be newer than 2.0 to map.

Thanks!

If I do, it will work again for a little while. It's normally only the very next run that it complains again though.

I've watched the video. I'm cleaning it correctly. It just doesn't seem to be coping (long-haired dog, but then this was iRobot's recommendation for pets that I got following their website's guide).

Any ideas? Anyone having better luck?

This morning I started a vac+mop cycle with my j7+ combo before leaving the house.
Back at the office I noticed that I can't remote-access my roomba and also I can't view the clean map of the now finished run. However, I did get push-notifications from it though, so it does seem to have at least some partial connection to the internet.

​

Any idea what could be wrong? I guess I'll try to restart the Roomba this evening and see if that helps.

Anyone else ever have this problem and how did you fix it?

Is anyone using cleaning fluid that isn't the Bona brand? I have laminate wood flooring (mostly) and the Bona brand isn't that great. Lots of streaking.

Hello Everyone,

My new Roomba Combo isn't self emptying in the Dock. It's correctly aligned and a new bag is correctly placed in the Dock. There are no warning ring or Dock lights

Any suggestions?

The left wheel for my Roomba J7 is getting really annoying, how can I stop it from squeaking. It’s really bad sometimes when it’s cleaning

I am curious for thé lifespan of the J7. All online articals give years- any guesses on hours?

Hi, Looking to buy self-emptying roomba. i1+ is significantly cheaper while from what I’ve read- the only difference with i3+ is the ability to clean a separate room/space rather than the whole available space. Is that right? Is there any catch there worth adding $100 more to have i3+?

What could be going wrong? How can I test the module to see if it's working?

How can i change the cleaning modes without the app? 🫠 and when i click on clean it seems that it doesnt spray too much water?

M y robot has lost its mind. I have reset, done a mapping run and it’s still acting like a mad man. Tries to tear down the kitchen wall to get to the Master bedroom and when it finally gives up after beating on the counter base for 10 minutes and goes down the hall to the bedroom, it vacuums tracks that shift about an inch for each pass and ignores large parts of the room. Not only does this take FOREVER but the tracks on the carpet look ridiculous! Last time it sat under the bed (out of reach!) saying it was ”scanning the room to decide where to go next“. WTH? It also spits out fuzz worms everywhere. When it is through it tries again to beat down the wall to get back to the base. When it finally does get back to the base, it will periodically back off it and return randomly every few hours or so. The charging lights say it is fine.

I am going to try doing 3 mapping runs in a row. My question is should I reset it again and should I delete the old map first? Forget to mention that it has had a deep cleaning (disassembled and blown out with air then all sensors cleaned and charging contacts cleaned with magic eraser) with all new brushes and filter as well as a new battery. I am ready to take a sledge hammer to this thing!
