If your Roomba has started acting up or stopped working, it may be time to reboot or reset it. Rebooting and resetting a Roomba are actually two different things—rebooting is basically a restart, while factory resetting clears all of the data on the device. Fortunately, both rebooting and resetting a Roomba are really easy to do. Keep reading to learn whether rebooting or resetting makes sense for your situation and to get step-by-step instructions on how to do both.
Things You Should Know
