iRobot Roomba 650: Why does Roomba 650 turn off before returning to charging station?

Wed, 28 Feb 2018 09:29:51 -0700

I programmed my Roomba 650 to clean at night, and it used to do its job, then return to its charging station. Lately, however, it has been ending its cycle somewhere else, like along a wall or in the middle of the room. I finally realized the other day that it wasn't finishing the job, it was dying before it got far from the charging station. How can I fix this? I'm not getting any error messages.

Irobot Roomba 980: My roomba will not dock to recharge and goes past the invisible towers

Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:17:28 -0700

HI!

My roomba 980 is only 6 months old, it will not dock to recharge and goes past the invisible walls. Its carpet boost works fine and seems to be running well otherwise. Roomba customer service sucks, they will not repair it because its refurbished (THEY sent me refurbished one after initial purchase came broken). I have recently serviced it. Any advice welcome!

Thanks

Carpet Cleaner: My hoover dual power max will only suck up water with upholstery tool

Sat, 26 Sep 2020 22:37:12 -0700

I have only had it for a year, usually works great. Recently got it out to clean the carpets and it wont suck up water. Thoroughly clean the unit and checked all hoses and filters to no avail. However, I put on the upholstery attachment and it works like a dream. But I cannot do all my carpet with that, it would take forever. Any ideas?

I have a faulty Roomba 560. afer substitution teting I gather the problem is in the board.

I suspect the problem may be in some capacitor as the problem is intermitent but recurring.

simple screw driver dismantling left me short of the pcb.

Where can I find instructions to access the pcb?

Roborock S7: Two plastic parts are leftovers but where from?

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 11:16:07 -0700

I teared my vacuum cleaner (Roborock S7 later model) down (have to change the vibrating module) and in some point I turned it (vacuum cleaner) upside down these parts dropped out on the table. The size of the fallen out rectangular black plastic part is about 13x4x5 mm including some kind of similar notches on it's each end. There are two pieces not exactly the same looking parts but the sizes are the same. I might remember they falled out after removing the main brush module and then when I turned vacuum cleaner upside down there parts falled out. The model is the later one and European (Roborock S7) . Anyone who might know these parts locations in vacuum cleaner would you please tell me?

Black and Decker Dustbuster CHV1410: CHV1410L vacuum cleaner charger current ratings

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:57:07 -0700

Hi,

I have a CHV1410L vacuum cleaner with it's S010QU2300040 charger. The charger is DC 23V and 400mA current rating. But, if I charge the vacuum cleaner from my DC power supply and set it to 23V, it draws close to 2A (2000mA). Reducing voltage reduces current too.

Questions:

I was expecting it to draw <= 400ma current even with DC power supply. Why is it drawing more current ?
Is it safe to charge CHV1410L from DC power supply as explained above?

Cheers!
