When you run into problems or want to buy new accessories for your Roomba, it is necessary to know which model Roomba you have. One problem: they are incredibly similar.
To find out which iRobot Roomba model you have, you need to find out the serial number. You can discover these at different locations on the robot vacuum cleaner. In this article, I'll help you figure out which Roomba you have.
Why is it important to know which model of Roomba you have?
iRobot has released several Roomba series. If you're having trouble with your Roomba robot vacuum, it's important to know which model you have. For specific problems, the solution depends on the model you have. For example, if we look at resetting an iRobot Roomba, this is very different with a Roomba J7 than with a Roomba 900.
In addition, it is also important to know the model number when you are going to buy new accessories. You should think of new filters and side brushes.
