Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace the iRobot Roomba i7 side brush?
iRobot suggests replacing the Roomba i7 side brush Every 3-6 months under normal use — sooner with pets or daily heavy use. Signs it's due: Poor edge cleaning, brush not spinning.
Do I need a new brush roll, or can I just clean it?

Do I have to buy the genuine iRobot part, or will a compatible one work?
Yes — a compatible (aftermarket) side brush works well in the iRobot Roomba i7 as long as it's made for this exact model. Look for 4.3+ stars with plenty of reviews, and confirm the listing names your exact model.
What happens if I don't replace the side brush?
Left too long, a worn side brush causes: Poor edge cleaning, brush not spinning. It can also strain the motor over time, so replacing it on schedule is far cheaper than a repair.
