TIP: Bin emptying and brush cleaning should be done after every 3-5 cleaning
cycles depending on the amount of hair, dirt, and debris in your environment.
TIP: If you notice Roomba picking up less debris from your floor, empty the bin
and clean the brushes.

permanently damage Roomba. Inspect brush bearings regularly.
