These work like a charm! Great product, service, instructions (both paper and online) -- saved me buying a brand-new Roomba!

[@Roombarefuge]

Thank you, Michael, for the nice review. Cheers, John

From an Ebay customer ... WOW! I had no idea this little contact cover would fix all of Roomba's problems. The Roomba now charges every time, and I no longer get battery not detected messages. I also, no longer get messages about my Roomba not being able to connect to the internet. After 8 months of reading and trying Reddit fixes, this one has worked. Thanks so much! This should definitely come with every Roomba. Very easy to install

[@Roombarefuge]

From an EBay customer ... These worked perfectly! My J7 was no longer recognising the battery and iRobots repair centre told me that the contacts were worn and damaged and it was not repairable or covered under warranty. They returned me the robot and a few minutes later it was working again after fitting these! Thank you so much for designing these.

First things first.. I ordered the contacts for my I3 after watching this video. The communication after I ordered was excellent. The contacts arrived earlier than expected, neatly packed and easy to install. I was up and running and have not had a connection error or charging problem since I installed the contacts. Very happy with this product.

This worked perfectly in my J7 +. I had communication errors with the base constantly and after installing these simple pieces of nickel it completed fixed my problem. Thank you!

[@Roombarefuge]

Thank you for your feedback. I am so pleased to hear the nickel contacts fixed your Roomba. Happy New Year to you and yours. Cheers, John

Just ordered a set for my i7+ Roomba and cannot wait to install! I’ve been cleaning the charging contacts several times a week and finally got tired of it! Found this recommendation on an old Reddit thread and am so glad!!

[@Roombarefuge]

Thank you, Amanda, for your request to send the contacts kit. Cheers, John

[@djboca]

Great idea/solution - just got mine and installed in minutes (would have been shorter but I took the opportunity to clean the internals). Placed back on the base and easy charging. Thanks!!!

[@Roombarefuge]

Thank you, David. I'm glad your Roomba is back working well for you. Cheers, John

This took about 5 minutes to install and completely fixed the charging problem on my Roomba j7+. Before installing it just wouldn't charge... I tried many things.... Installed, set on base, immediately started charging and powered up. I'd recommend installing on a brand new unit to save yourself the future headache.

Installed these recently on a 560. Does the job and easy to fit.

[@kevinbronco5499]

Ive had charging problems with my j7+. Ive kind of assumed it was the cleaning base and tried a conductive paint on the base contacts, which probably wont last long. Seems to have helped. I'm getting these too and will probably look into replacing the base contacts as well as they look worn.

[@MadEcki]

Just installed the kit, thank you. The video covers everything. I just had to bend the flaps a bit so the parts could fall into place.

[@raymondkarlsen9995]

Awesome solution! A bit embarassing that Irobot dont give out these themselves.

[@RICKYPOYPOY]

Worked great. Thanx John!

[@spunkymsp]

Great video and solution! Curious, have you seen these work on Roomba’s where the plastic supporting the contact has melted and the plane recedes up into the vacuum? I’m dealing with that issue on my 980. Did a bunch of googling to figure out why it was tucked up into the vacuum. Came across this and thought, “hmmm… could this cover fix the issue?” Curious if you’ve seen / helped fix that issue in your experience. Ideally, something like one of these covers would do the trick! -mark

Hello, Thank you for your question. To give you the best answer, I would need to see a couple of images /pictures of the contacts currently on your Roomba. You can message me at facebook.com/roombarefuge. Thank you, John

[@MarthaWallace-r5m]

Where do I find the information in order to order these contact plates. I am having the same issue with my roomba not charging because of the scratches.

[@Roombarefuge]

Hello, the details are in the write-up below the video. Here is the link to order www.ebay.ca/itm/364241106479

J-series owners. It seems the contacts on the j models are used to communicate with the tower to empty. Poor connections from the contacts /connection on your Roomba will result in the tower not turning on to empty the bin on the Roomba. These nickel contact covers will likely solve this. John

Thanks for making these. I have just had a J7 and charge base replaced for this issue. I’ll order some of your contacts to protect the new one. The contacts on the charging base were also showing wear, should I be concerned about potential problems from these getting worn or is the actual issue just from the contacts on the bottom of the robot? The last robot only lasted 18months. Thanks

[@Roombarefuge]

In most cases, the contacts on the Roomba are the ones that wear.

[@zzkamikazezz]

@@Roombarefugewe always wondered why the robot would suddenly move back and forwards on its own. We just hope the replacement lasts more than 18months as these robots are not cheap

[@madsjuncker307]

Hej John Great invention - will certainly rescue a lot of robot-owners and their robot 👍🎶🎸🏍️

[@Roombarefuge]

Thank you, Mads, for the nice comment. I also hope this will assist many people with their Roombas. Cheers, John

[@punjabifinance]

Would it work with s9+?

[@Roombarefuge]

As per the write-up. These replaceable covers are NOT designed to work on the( 400, 4000 models, which were made over 15 years ago.) or the Roomba Essential model or the S-models like the S9 or S9+
