iRobot Roomba 790 – Plus.Parts® Maintenance Set

The iRobot Roomba 790 is the flagship of the 700 platform and the highest-specification model in the series. It pairs the touch-LCD display and SoftTouch keypad with the XLife 14.4 V lithium-ion battery, and was bundled on some production runs with dual Virtual Wall Lighthouses and a remote handset. The consumable maintenance set is identical across all sixteen named 700-series models.

This set covers Plus.Parts® direct-fit alternatives to the original iRobot parts: a set of main brushes, 3 side brushes, 6 HEPA-style filters and 2 cleaning tools – 13 parts in all. The dual-mode Virtual Wall Lighthouse accessory supplied with the 790 is an independent IR emitter powered by two C-size alkaline cells. It can function either as a simple virtual barrier or as a navigation lighthouse that hands the robot between rooms. A blinking red power indicator on the accessory is the low-battery warning – replacing the C cells resolves almost every case of the robot slipping past a Lighthouse barrier. A dust film on the front IR emitter window also narrows the effective beam angle, so cleaning the emitter face with a dry cloth is worth checking whenever the accessory batteries are replaced. On the consumable side, the 790’s XLife battery extends the cleaning cycle, which loads the filter and brushes faster on a calendar basis. The complete maintenance cadence for the flagship: clean brushes and bearings every one to three uses; tap the filter after every session; replace the filter every two months; replace the brush pair every four to six months; replace the side brush every four to six months; wipe cliff sensors weekly; wipe optical bin sensors fortnightly; wipe charging contacts monthly; and expect battery replacement at thirty to thirty-six months.
