However, you can greatly extend the life of a robot vacuum if you wipe down the sensors once a month, and replace the filters and brushes as needed. If you get a more affordable model, like Roomba 675 you can expect a lifespan of up to two years.

Alternatively, you can also reboot from the robot itself. To do this, press and hold the Clean button on the Roomba for about 20 seconds. The exact amount of time can vary by model.

2002 - First Generation

The first generation of Roomba has a very basic core cleaning system consisting of three buttons – Small (S), Medium (M) and Large (L). The button is used to dictate the general size of the room for which Roomba would clean. As such, this series was not yet considered a “smart” vacuum cleaner.

iRobot OS is the operating system that lets users control where, when and how their robots clean. It works on all current Roomba®, Roomba Combo®, and Braava jet® robots, and leverages feedback from iRobot's over 40 million devices sold.

Light green indicates where the Roomba® cleaned, while white denotes areas where Roomba® did not clean, such as appliances and other obstacles. The report also tracks areas where Dirt Detect™ was activated i.e. where the robot found concentrated areas of dirt. These are designated by dark green dots on the report.

The iRobot Roomba i3 is a little better than the iRobot Roomba i1, though it's worth mentioning that the two vacuums are mechanically identical, with the i1 being a retailer-specific variant of the i3.
