The very first time you set up your Roomba can be a great and thrilling experience because it announces the coming of a cleaner and smarter house. It doesn't matter if you have just bought a new device or you are connecting an old one again; this Roomba setup guide will help you through the process in steps.

1. Charge and unpack your Roomba

First, unpack your Roomba and take away all the packaging materials. Set the charging dock on a level surface against a wall, but leave about 1.5 feet of space on each side. Connect it to the dock and allow your Roomba to charge. It is important to fully charge before the first use, which usually takes two to three hours.

2. Get the iRobot Home App.

Next, get the iRobot Home app by downloading it from Google Play (for Android) or from the App Store (for iOS). The greatest part of the Roomba setup will happen in this app, such as Wi-Fi connection and cleaning scheduling.

Launch the app, either create an account or if you already have one, go through the process of Roomba app login. The app will instantly pick up nearby devices and will give you the opportunity to link your Roomba to your Wi-Fi network.

3. Link the Roomba to the Internet

After logging in, follow the directions in the app to link your Roomba to Wi-Fi. Make sure that both the robot and the phone are on the same 2.4GHz network for a smooth connection. The setup is complete when the Wi-Fi light stays on constantly and you hear the Roomba chime.

4. Start Cleaning

Once the device is set up, either use the app or press the "Clean" button to start your first cleaning session. It is also possible to set preferences and schedules for cleaning through voice commands if you are connected to Google Assistant or Alexa.

5. Roomba Resetting and Troubleshooting

When the vacuum is out of order, and Wi-Fi connection is not established, a factory reset Roomba is an option. To do this, hold the "Clean" button down for about 20 seconds and let go; the lights will turn off. This is how your device is factory reset, but the information on it stays the same.
