5.0 out of 5 starsHelp in Maintaining RoombaOctober 3, 2010
By Georgia
Roomba awes me with the amount of dirt and hair found each and every day! I use it daily on an old home and discover years of dust we were breathing. The filter system really works well. My house is now vacuumed daily before I even get out of bed!Maintenance was not something I counted on so was unprepared. My hair is longer and winds around the gear shafts causing a troublesome cleanup. However, I remembered a sewing seam ripper which easily cuts through the hairs and picks them out. The best thing is the small size and availability. It is cheap and available anywhere sewing supplies are sold. It is designed to get into small areas like the left gear grove on the beater roller....no more tangled hairs now.UPDATE : After one year, I purchased the upgrade Aero-Vac bin. If your Roomba makes a "whistling" noise, hair has wrapped around the shaft, causing a drag on the brushes. The updated bin solved a lot for me. Roomba definitely simplified life for me this year. I do a lot less dusting since Roomba does a great job of getting it off floors.BEFORE THE UPDATE:I also drafted a brush to thoroughly clean the cage brush areas so the dirt doesn't get into the gears. A common shaving brush or vegetable brush (soft and round) works very well. Both items fit in a drawer for daily use.To save on the filters and insure Roomba runs to the max, I carefully rinse the red plastic filter casing under running water, making sure no water gets into any other compartments. The actual filter is also rinsed and both are allowed to completely dry (no dampness please!). After about 2 weeks of horribly dirty rooms which cause filthy filters, I discovered I could spray the filters with a common household cleaner, rinse and re-use--Saved me a lot on filters.I alternate the filters (2 came with my Roomba) which insures they are dry when reinserting.I find the 5 minutes or less of maintenace each day extends the amount of actual time Roomba efficiently cleans. My old, old carpets and floors look new again. In fact, I can see the tack boards since no dust plumps up the carpet fibers! It saved me hiring a steam cleaner or getting new carpeting.Roomba is call Matilda at our house. When she is tired and does not return to home base because a room needs an extensive cleaning, I push CLEAN on the remote and the onboard voice sends me an audible signal so I can find her and help her return home....just like the locator on a portable phone. (Great for under beds or in hidden areas). The next day she is up and cleaning my floors again while I snooze!
