Introduction
If your iRobot Roomba Essential Robot is experiencing reduced suction or is not picking up dirt effectively, the filter may need to be replaced and the dustbin may need to be cleaned. This guide will walk you through removing and replacing the filter, a straightforward process you can do at home using only your hands. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in the filter, causing clogs and reducing the vacuum's efficiency. Replacing the filter and cleaning the dustbin will help restore your robot vacuum's cleaning performance.
Symptoms:
- Reduced suction power
- Poor dirt pickup during cleaning
