Roomba reset
You might need to reset your Roomba if it isn’t functioning correctly. Perhaps it’s not picking up as much dirt as it used to, or maybe it seems to be going in circles instead of moving forward in a straight line. If this is the case, a reset might be all needed to get your Roomba back on track. Resetting your Roomba is a quick and easy process, so there’s no need to worry if you find yourself in either of these situations.

A factory reset of your Roomba is typically recommended in the following scenarios:
- When you are planning to sell a robot or transfer ownership of your robot to another user.
- As a troubleshooting step, when the behavior cannot be resolved in another way.
It is often done to resolve unexpected behavioral changes, problems with Wi-Fi connections, and other errors. Once your iRobot vacuum has been reset to default settings, you will need to set it up once again and start its learning session.
Another reason you might need to reset your Roomba is if you’re selling it or giving it away to someone else. This will erase all of the customized settings that you’ve created, such as the schedule and the virtual wall locations
**Note: With a factory reset, your robot will be removed from your account and all personal data and settings will be lost from your robot, but your Customized Smart Maps will be saved to your account.
Roomba is an autonomous vacuum and one of the most popular consumer robots in existence. It navigates around clutter and under furniture cleans your floors and returns to its charging dock when finished.
