on the older model Roomba there were sensors that had to be cleaned each time you emptied the bin. Does this one not have sensors? null

Question

Oregon · Accepted Answer

I've had the older models, as well as this new model, and never really cleaned the sensors. (Haven't yet on the new one, after, maybe, 30 runs; and probably cleaned the sensors on the old ones once or twice a year.)

I've located two on the underside of the unit. Easily cleaned with a Mr. Clean sheet. And there is a sensing area on the home base that I clean so the the roomba can locate home base. Doesn't have to been done more than twice a month. And with the auto dirt disposal, you don't have to empty any bin.

I am sure at some time it would be good to clean the unit but there is nothing that needs to be cleaned each time it runs. We have run the unit about 50 times and it has worked flawlessly .

Hello JLee, Great question! You are referring to the Optical sensors, and yes the i7 has them. They may require occasional cleaning to work consistently.
