[@clou1969]

I agree the app so nice. Thanks again for your videos.

[@RobotMasters]

clou1969 I mentioned in one of my videos how I liked how clean and easy to use the App is. It’s a one stop shop app, You can buy Roombas, accessories, troubleshoot error codes and control the robot all from the single App.

[@RobotMasters]

clou1969 Yes waiting for the day the Roomba out navigates the Roborock 😀

[@clou1969]

Robot Masters I think Roomba will never navigate as good as a LIDAR robot. But I find the i7 very capable it’s just lacking of logic sometimes.

[@RobotMasters]

Irobot has the hardware to perform as well or better than the Roborock.. I got $100 robot vac that out performed the Roborock in terms of advance path planning and navigation

[@zhirra29]

Thanks.

[@FunTechReviews]

Great Video!! I contacted iRobot customer support because my roomba i7 wasnt on 1.6.6 and they pushed the latest firmware to include the no go zones. I definitely enjoy the no go zones. Especially having a dog that uses house training pads. I dont want a poop catastrophe. Lol

[@RobotMasters]

LoL there a youtube video of a roomba that spread poop all over the person house. Glad iRobot was able to push the no go zones 😁. The i7 is a really good cleaning machine just wish it didn't cost so much 😓

[@FunTechReviews]

@@RobotMasters lol I had a shark ion robot and it did spread poop all over our house. I threw it away. I then got the i7+ I agree with the cost. I would like the s9. But it's hard for me to justify spending that amount of money on something that does the same thing I have except the power is better and a few other things. I really love irobot products.

[@RobotMasters]

Will i7 take commands from phone for cleaning when we are away for few days?

[@RobotMasters]

Yes as long as the i7 sitting on it docking station, powered on has an active wifi connection; it will take commands from a smartphone

[@sandeepkumarcool]

@@RobotMasters Thank you for proving this needed information, I have finally made purchase of both I7+ sweeper and m6 jet mop. I am really happy with its results as, they are cleaning very well. Today I am leaving out for 4 days, hopefully I should be able to ask them to keep my house clean while I am away, Will update results later.

[@Pulanhealing]

Just took my refurbished iRobot out of box… it’s a 960 series ,I believe the app has asked me to place it one the charger and after a minute it’s supposed to illuminate white but it’s green button and the symbol above the green button shows the red battery light flashing and then turns off. When I wake up again.. it shows the battery is dead out of box. Is I haven’t been able to connect it to my Wi-Fi yet… so any recommendations?

[@RobotMasters]

It indicates the battery needs charging. Let it charge for 3-5 hours. Than try setting up to wifi.

[@katthdz9655]

[@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984]

Are there non-wifi versions? I don't want one more thing using the network.

[@RobotMasters]

For Roomba, it only the older versions, like the 500 series.

[@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984]

@@RobotMasters okay thanks. But does that mean that for the newer models, you have to connect it to the wi-fi, or is that just an option?

[@RobotMasters]

@@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984 Most of the newer models will do an auto clean, spot clean and return back to their docking station without needing to connect to WiFi. All the other features like smart mapping, being able to change vacuum power levels, software updates, and scheduling requires WiFi and to be paired up to the App.

[@isaacm2986]

Do u know if u can connect the 770 series I’m having trouble

[@RobotMasters]

You should be able to, make sure your wife network 2.4 ghz.

[@davidrobinson8319]

iroomba 675 (and others) only connects to 2.4 ghz routers. If, like me, you have a 2.4/5 ghz router you need to shut off the 5 ghz part in the router during setup, then you can turn it back on after setup... (you have to google or call isp if you don't understand how to get into your router). If your router doesn't have 2.4 ghz then you will NOT be able to connect to it. Only solution would be to get a router with 2.4 ghz. gl

Thank you! You've helped to demystify my new Roomba i7!

[@rogerthat.9105]

If I am going to pair it with Alexa. Do I need to install the app. And can I do both Alexa and the app

[@RobotMasters]

Yes just follow the Alexa App to install the iRobot Skill. You can tell the robot to go clean a certain room via voice. The iRobot App will still continue to work if you want to use the App. Once I had the iRobot setup, I didn't need to use the App very much. Just used Alexa to control the robot.

I have the right one but do not turn on and I don't no why , We tried everything like turning it on by the cell while it was plugged in, we checked the volts to see if they didn't change or something, we opened it to see if it had something inside and I don't know what to do.

[@RobotMasters]

Try holding down the spot function and home button simultaneously for 15 seconds, see if any lights turn in when the robot is sitting on the docking station. You can also check the battery, make sure it making contact and has voltage coming out using a Volt meter.

[@adrianperez1001]

@@RobotMasters ok so I tested right now that but no light turned on I have to check the battery Well I'll tell you if it works or not later if nothing works well it screwed up 🤣

[@toothybj]

Thanks for the video. I just got my first Roomba and its not getting through the setup due to the iRobot device not being detected by the App. Our Wi-Fi is fast and stable, as confirmed by other devices that are also connected to it. I work in IT, so this type of thing is not new to me. However, this new Roomba consistently fails to complete setup and its pretty aggravating.

[@RobotMasters]

Hmmm try restarting the robot by holding the power button for 15 seconds. Also try uninstalling the iRobot app, than unplug your WiFi router for 15 seconds and plug back in. Reinstall the iRobot app and wait for everything to boot up. Make sure the phone on 2.4 ghz. Try again

[@toothybj]

Thanks for the tips! I have it working now. I tried your suggestions and it still wasn’t getting past the part of the setup where it connects to the Roomba access point, as it seemed fine, but would then ask me to manually change my iPhone’s Wifi network from the Roomba AP back to my (2.4 GHz) WiFi network. I did this & it would still fail and go back to the beginning of the setup process. When I selected “Roomba” -> “Roomba s series” instead of “Roomba” -> “Roomba” from the setup, it worked perfectly and is now cleaning & mapping out my house. I have an “iRobot Roomba e5”, so I didn’t realize I needed to select “Roomba s series” from the setup process in order to make it work. Hopefully this helps others running into a similar issue. Thanks & Happy Holidays!

Any idea what to do if a "Your phone is not connected to a Wi-Fi network" message comes up? My phone is connected to the Wifi and it seems to be working for everything else in the house. My router is compatible and I read through the iRobot webpage.

[@RobotMasters]

So I would try to repair the iRobot, by holding down the Home and Spot clean button until you get an indicator light on the robot. Once the robot is booted up launch the App and ass new robot. Go through the pairing process and hopefully the robot will reconnect to the WiFi network. Lastly make sure your phone and robot on the same 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
