What is true of this model and changes how you fix it

• Type — ROBOT vacuum
  A ROBOT vacuum with camera-based obstacle avoidance (PrecisionVision) and a Clean Base self-empty dock — symptoms are navigation, docking, brushes and the base, not a handheld's. It maps and cleans in neat rows and avoids obstacles like cords and pet waste.
• Clean Base self-empty
  It empties into the Clean Base automatic dirt disposal dock. 'Won't empty' is a full bag or a clogged path; 'won't dock/charge' is usually dirty charging contacts, the dock moved/unplugged, or blocked clearance around it.
• Brushes, wheels & sensors
  Two rubber brushrolls, a side brush, drive wheels and sensors — clear hair from the brushes and wheels and wipe the sensors and camera if it gets stuck, misses areas or avoidance behaves oddly.
• 3-stage cleaning
  Dual multi-surface rubber brushes, an edge-sweeping brush and power-lifting suction.
• PrecisionVision
  Recognizes and avoids objects such as cables and pet waste.
• Imprint Smart Mapping and Clean Base
  It builds a floor plan, and the Clean Base empties the bin automatically.
• Also covered
  Roomba j7/j7+ robot vacuum, filter schedule: Replace the filter every two months.
• Also covered
  Roomba j7/j7+ robot vacuum, navigation: PrecisionVision Navigation for obstacle avoidance and Imprint smart mapping for choosing where and when it cleans.

• Also covered
  Roomba s9/s9+, runtime and bin (from iRobot and reviews): Up to 120 minutes on low power and as little as 50 on high, with a 388 mL onboard bin. It returns to the dock up to 3 times to recharge and finish a run.
• Also covered
  Roomba s9/s9+, d-shaped body: Cleans corners and walls better than round Roombas.
