Q: QuestionSo what kind of maintenance is required this robot

Asked 2 years ago by Aaron.

• A:Answer Extractors and center ball should b removed weekly to remove debris that gets wrapped around connections. Especially if someone has long hair. I vacuum the filter weekly and examine sensors and camera for dust. After using the mopping feature I empty the reservoir and leave open to dry. Remove and rinse pads and allow to dry before reinstalling them. I’ve owned room as for more than a decade…4 different models. Maintenance gives them a long life. Also check the drive wheels for debris…again long hair.

Q: QuestionDescription states Self Emptying... Where does it empty the collected dirt or dirty water?

Asked 2 years ago by 2Hippies.

• A:Answer This product does self empty it’s bin into a cloth bag located in the base station (you will have to buy bags, mine came with three and still on first bag after 3 weeks). There really isn’t any dirty water since it sprays and drags mop. I do clean the mop insert when it’s done mopping and reuse it for a number of mopping jobs before using a new insert. There are five items you will have to buy. Mop inserts, bags for cleaning bin, rollers that are used for vacuuming, rotating brushes and air filters. None of these items are very expensive and are actually much cheaper than the bags and filters I need for my miele vacuum cleaners. Roomba monitors itself and tells you when things need to be replaced via the app.

Q: QuestionI can’t figure out where to fill the j7 with water. I just bought it and haven’t mapped our home yet. Can it map the home without the tank having water?

Asked 7 months ago by Muddog.

• A:Answer It can vacuum without water. But to mop you add some water where the little rubber plug is when you open or pull out the tray. There also is a pad that slides in there easily at the top where of the tray. Plus there is a video. Go to you tube and type in Roomba j7 vacuum and it comes up so you can get a on it and watch the entire video f how easy it is to work. I like be mine. Take a moment to see the video. You’ll be a pro!
