The side brush moves dirt away from edges. iRobot's instructions distinguish pull-off designs from screw-retained brushes. Check the exact series before attempting removal.

0 / 6 done

1. Stop the robot and power it down. Move it away from the charging dock onto a stable surface and identify its model.
2. Check iRobot's series-specific diagram for the correct brush removal method; some Essential models use a pull-off brush.
3. Only on screw-retained models, loosen the brush with the appropriate small screwdriver. Do not force a pull-off design.
4. Carefully clear hair and debris from the brush and its post, and inspect for worn or bent bristles.
5. Refit the brush following the model instructions and check that debris does not obstruct its movement.
6. iRobot recommends weekly or as-needed cleaning and replacement around every three months or as needed. Seek support if it still does not spin.
