🏆 Best Robot Vacuums 2026: 👉 justadadapproved.com 3 mistakes that can break your robot vacuum! Mova P10 https://geni.us/aBTz Fix filter clogs, hidden hair wrap, and base station issues before your robot stops cleaning. How To fix Your Robot First, See Website Blog. https://justadadapproved.com/robot-va... I explain why a clogged dust bin filter is the number one reason robots lose suction and stop performing. Then I walk through how hidden hair wrap builds up inside the brush roller—especially in areas most people never check—and how that can strain the motor. I also cover base station filter maintenance, which is critical for proper mop washing and dirty water removal, especially in homes with pets.

Protip: For mops: I noticed that using distilled water also keeps your device clean water much cleaner for much longer, because bacteria don't have nutrients in distilled water. Therfore you don't get a biofilm or stinking water tank.

Many years ago I had a Roomba run over dog diarrhea and poop and it was thoroughly covering its innards. It took soap and water on the brushes and HOURS with rubbing alcohol and a MILLION qtips to clean it, especially the drive wheels. I thought I’d never get it clean, but it continued to run normally and stink-free for many years after

Wish I'd known about you before I bought one 2 weeks ago. But you have great videos that I'm watching about how to use mine, which I am very happy with. It's a Qrevo s5v and our house is the cleanest it's ever been. Thanks for doing what you do. It's really important.

and do NOT add vinegar to the clean water tank... It will wreck the pumps......

First thing I did when I bought my Dyson Ai SpotClean was buy a replacement part maintenance kit. My robot started spilling her dirtly water everywhere. And this is when I found this channel. Hoping a full clean will help. I am hoping it is simply a docking issue and that now that I have not only cleaned her out, and tidied her dock again, that the spillage resolves. Thank you.

New Dreame L40 Ultra AE owner here and I just followed your cleaning instructions - very helpful and I emptied the dust collection bag in the front --- it was already filled with dog hair. Wow who knew? Big thanks.

2:18 I got that same Mova and I have to clean that filter every two days or so. It’s always clogged with dirt so I use an air gun to blow it out along with the dustbin and vacuum itself. Bonus there is an air filter in the base behind the bag I found also have to be cleaned out but maybe 4-6 months

I have a Husky and the V70 is the first robot I’ve seen that can handle him, and I’ve had a lot of roombas

@markg.9981 6 months ago (edited)

I noticed you have floor mappers on all your robots. Do I need to keep mine on while just vaccumming carpet. Thanks I learnt heaps from your video

@MayankAnand-g3u 3 months ago

Let me make this short and quick for evreyone so you dont waste time on a long video that could have been a short
1 clean the filter from the robotic unit every 2 week
2 remove tangled hair
3 clean base station filter where mops are washed thank me later for saving you time

@bogalexsan 3 months ago

I would suggest to vacuum it using a classic vacuum cleaner, just clean all the parts every 3-5 days.

@emilishungry 6 months ago

Im liking these videos more. more structure. clear talking points and explanations instead of just freestyling it along the way. More of this please.

@drinternatg6391 4 months ago (edited)

I bought a Dreame L 40 ultra after your recommendation. I see it is well down the pecking order now Really happy with it though. One tip ( we have all wood floors throughout) is to put a drop of Amway LOC in the clean water tank. Brings the wood up amazing

@saltnpepper6675 4 months ago (edited)

I have N30 white robot. I clean it everyday and deep clean it ievery Sunday. Before going to sleep and before it starts operating, I remove all items from the floor, clean its dustbin, fill the water tank with RO water, and attach a washed or clean mop every time. I’ve scheduled it to start daily at 6 AM. It cleans my house in two hours, so the house is already clean before I wake up.😅😊

And I love your videos..

I have the Eufy x10 and its obstacle avoidance is quite good, it will generally avoid all pet waste (so far) the only downside is that it will also sometimes avoid larger tufts of pet hair but I'd take that over it running over poop any day. My issue with the x10 is it is very very very hit or miss with pumping the dirty water into the tank at the station, sometimes it works perfect, other times it just dumps it into the tray and I have to manually dump it. Not a clogged filter issue, just seems to be an issue with the base itself. No rhyme or reason to when it will or won't work properly.
