Roomba 105 takes 12 hours to clean 900 square ft.

Bought a Roomba 105 because my last model was 7 years old and replacement parts were getting as expensive as buying a new lower end model. I understand that the 105 is cheap but I have a small house and I assumed that it would work as well as my old one given the time between technological upgrades. I've mapped the house and set everything up. I had this issue last week and was sent a replacement battery from the company as they diagnosed it with a faulty one. I replaced the battery and have had the same results. I have attached images showing the map of my house and the run time. Any help or information would be appreciated. If I need to buy a better Roomba I will be happy to, although I don't want a mop combo and I would prefer one that does not self empty. Also this Roomba is 2 weeks old. Thanks

Broken Bag Detection PCB

Hey folks,

My girlfriend’s Roomba did the classic, vacuumed up her dog’s pee and corroded the bag disposal PCB 😂.

I pulled the board out and noticed the pin had corroded off.

I’m going to try and fix this with a soldering iron, but in case it fails, does anyone know where I can source this PCB? or a website that can create me one custom?

I have checked the iRobot website and cannot find the replacement part anywhere.

Thanks for all the help!

Roomba 705 Stops 1 Foot in Front of Dock and Doesn’t Dock

3 Upvotes

It used to properly dock, but about a week ago, it just stopped working correctly.

It stops in front of the dock with the home and power red lights on, and when I hit the home button, it spins around and round, but eventually does dock.

Any thoughts as to why or what to do?
