Roomba owners, lets talk

Just wondered if thee were any other oomba owners out there?

Loving my new robot, nicknamed Holly by my DS, so far, but cannot find the instruction book and wondered about filter cleaning

I have been quite stunned by what it picks up each day, and empty it after each use of course but the filter isn't terribly easy to clean- should I be rinsing it or just bashing it into bin or wiping or what?

Also any must know tips from those of you who have owned a while?
Thanks!

I just bash it into the compost bin, every so often I wipe it round with a damp cloth.

Scary what it picks up though!

Isnt it just kennythekangaroo?

I think it is because it goes under and over & over each place

Best hoover I have owned, bar none, and loving the lazy factor!!

LOL, I am very impressed with mine and wish they would design one for the staircase.

I usually give the filter a gentle knock on the bin to knock off the dust and once a month, I will soak the plastic filter in water overnight and just air dry it.

Great gadget and one of the best present my husband bought me
