Hi, just watched this and wanted to say our roomba is working so much better now! It was super dirty inside - I don't think we'd cleaned it in the years we had been using it before it "broke". Thanks for getting straight to the point and having a concise video!
from 4:20 to 6:20 you showed how to clean the brushes. I went a bit further, took apart everything, because my battery need replacement. It is at 0 V....... Roomba 614 not charging. Cleaned the contact, still not charging. green light stays lit for a min then goes out. took it apart. ......... ANOTHER question..... The cleaning box has a motor and 2 brushes. There is a 1/8 inch red sticker. Under this sticker there is a plastic "wire" or "needle", flexible, with a small ball-anchor. The anchor remains in the socket under the red sticker, and the plastic "needle" follows a channel in the pulley on the motor. The motor appears to be freely swinging in its socket along its rotor-axle. As the motor turns left-right, the pulley moves. There is a small hole at the end of the pulley channel, where the plastic "needle" appears to enter. This element does not appear to be sold separately. I think I need a replacement of this "needle" How long is this "needle"? What is the purpose? I think I can use weed-eater string or fishing line, they come at different diameters. I can improvise. Any idea?
I have wooden floors and I made the mistake of letting my new Roomba go under the couch the first day I got it and it sucked in so much dust and debre that it hasn't worked properly since. It barely picks up anything. I already cleaned out the main filter part so I'm assuming it's all the other parts I gotta clean out.
Well…. I have a large piece of cardboard that I lay the Roomba on ….. I wear disposable gloves ! I use an old toothbrush to remove hair from the roller … I use the Dyson to remove ingrained dust from the filter …. Once the fitter starts looking really grubby give it a light wash and rinse using warm water and washing up liquid …. Dry excess water off with paper towel …. Let it dry naturally…. Use a damp cloth / paper towel to keep the fibres of the side brush clean - just a quick clean whenever you’re emptying the dust container ….. I find a little WD40 on a rag works wonders to keep the underside / sensors and topside of the Roomba looking pristine ….. Just be careful that it’s not too slippery … oh …. Please don’t forget to clean the charging contacts on the Roomba and the charging station regularly - I use a little alcohol on a paper towel …. Enjoy your amazing machine ☘️
I almost died watching that Roomba run over that dog turd (Oh no) LOL Thankfully I got the J9+ Combo which is supposed to avoid this but my dogs go to the bathroom outside.

Thank you for the amazing video! Carefully explained and shown. My second-hand roomba is now clean and happy!
Thank you! I didnt realize the rooma needed so much maintenance but good to know how to take care of it.
Thanks! Simple and easy
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this information.
Thanks king 🙏🙏😊
It’s good to clean it good. I couldn’t help but laugh when you cleaned the roller you sat it in the dust, hair whatever else you took off of it. 😂😂
Very true! 😂

they make a round brush so you can clean the main roller brush also, works great.

Yes. Probably give it an overall clean
