Any suggestions?

My red roomba has developed something strange. It runs fir a tiny bit and then stops and makes the noise that it makes when it is stuck under something and spins aournd. When I turn it off and turn it back on, then it finishes the job.

Any ideas?

I bought two fake placemats at Walmart and put the home bases for my Roombas on those. The Roombas have had no problems docking on these on the hardwood. I did it because I noticed some dirt below my first Roomba when I would pick it up to use it again (before home base purchase and purchase of seco...

I have two cats and was amazed at the job my red Roomba did the first time I tried it. I had not vacuumed for 3 weeks, and, since the cats like to roll around on the rug under the diningroom table, there was a lot of hair there (One has long hair; the other has longish hair and sheds constantly). Th...

I have no idea if this helps docking or not. I have mostly hardwood floors. I put my home bases (2 Roombas) on a fake leather placemat on the hardwood and tile. Most times they are successful in docking. I used the placemats, because I noticed a bit of dust lost when they are finished, so this picks...

And I just tried my Roomba Red with the home base of the Discovery. Worked fine. Now I am going to get one for the Red, so they each have one.

I have two cats. For one, the year is shed season all year round with varying amounts of shedding. The other has long hair. I tried my Roomba Red on the diningroom where they both like to roll around on the rug underneath. It had 3 weeks worth of embedded cat hair. While it did not get as much as my...
