iRobot Roomba 600 Series Questions & Answers (page 2 of 9)

I have wooden carpet edges at doorways. Would it get over them?

does it operate well on tiles?

I have a 655 Roomba, got it for xmas ! It worked for a couple of months and now it will not run longer than 15 minutes. We have cleaned the contacts, removed the battery to reset. changed the brushes and filter ! Videos say to plug it directly into the wall but there is no way to directly plug it into the wall. How can I make this work again ?

Our 630 fails to dock correctly. It'll home in on the station and attempt to dock, but then it pushes itself off and goes through the same routine of trying to dock. It'll make a few attempts and then go off around the room again before lining up for another go with the same result. I've followed the instructions of cleaning contacts and sensors and also all the power lead checks. Also removed battery and re-inserted with same results. Is there any advise you can provide?

Do the 600 series map the house as the more expensive models do?

I've been thinking about getting a Roomba to help with the cat hair around the house, but a few of these reviews say it doesn't work on dark surfaces. Is that true? I've got very dark Wenge Oak laminate flooring through my place.

Can the docking station be moved around or will it lose its way around the house?

My Roomba is brand new and I’ve only used it a couple of times but now when it’s cleaning for about 15 minutes it stops, sings a little tune but doesn’t have an error message. I’ve cleaned it but it’s still not working properly.

I have a iRobot 670, if I set up barriers for cleaning but the dock station is out of this area, will the robot go until it runs out of battery or will it shut off when the area is completed?
Thanks

I really love my Roomba and I’m so worried now that it seems to have “died “! I can’t afford another...
It wouldn’t start cleaning when I hit “clean” button but instead flashed red and beeped 7 times. This happened a few times and I gave up. The next day same thing. Now it doesn’t even turn on, make any noises or appear to charge! I’m seriously grieving...
The bin is empty, the filter fairly clean, and nothing seems tangled or wrapped around wheels, spinner, etc. Help please!! Is there anything I can do?

If I shut a door after my 690 cleans a room, will it interfere with the mapping function?

My machine stopped working. Will not charge up! Anyone else have that problem?

Hi I’ve got a Roomba 630 12months old and I bought it second hand has been sitting for a couple of months, cleans well does a cleaning cycle then re docks and flashes orange to say it’s charging, and the green light on the dock comes on, then after a couple of seconds the dock green light goes out and 10 seconds or so later the orange light stops flashing on the Roomba and goes out . So not sure if it’s charging because no lights are on . Have cleaned all contacts Etc. Any suggestions?

When charging at the home base, my Roomba 650 recently started to say charging error 5 after 1-2 hours. When I manually restart the charging process, the error message comes back, but now after only 30 minutes or so. The battery is partly charged afterwards, the Roomba does its cleaning routine when I start it manually until it runs out of power. I have cleaned all contacts, including the ones inside, multiple times and also reset the Roomba. What else do you suggest for fixing this problem?

My Roomba 630 refuses to recharge until the battery is flat. It will dock but not charge. Any ideas?

can i program my roomba 675 manually with out using wi fi and how?

Just bought a 690 for my wife for Christmas. Two questions: 1. it doesn't try to return to the charging station, which is set up as the instructions direct; i.e., no barriers. It runs until the battery runs out then it just stops in place. 2. It seems random redirecting itself when it nudges an obstacle. We find we have to let it run into a foot or a barrier placed in the way to try to get it to complete a room and then it sometimes follows the same track where it has previously been. Isn't it supposed to keep track of where it has been?

The 650 Roomba is not cleaning the whole house. My house is only 2400 sq ft. What are we doing wrong? It just keeps cleaning one side of house over and over

Hi I have a Roomba 630 and it has a charging error 3. I reset the software but the error didnt go away. What do i do now?
