Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my Roborock filter to prevent Error Code 10?
Clean your Roborock filter every 2-4 weeks with regular use, or weekly if you have pets or high dust levels. Replace washable filters every 6-8 months, or when they become damaged or excessively worn.
Can I wash all Roborock vacuum filters?
Most Roborock main filters are washable, but check your user manual to confirm. HEPA filters and some specialized filters should not be washed. When in doubt, replace rather than wash to maintain optimal performance.
Why does my Roborock keep getting Error Code 10 even after cleaning?
Persistent Error Code 10 may indicate the filter needs replacement, there's a blockage elsewhere in the system, or the filter isn't properly seated. Try a new filter and ensure it's installed correctly. If the error continues, contact customer service.
Where can I buy replacement filters for my Roborock vacuum?
Purchase genuine Roborock replacement filters from the official Roborock website, authorized retailers, or major online marketplaces. Using genuine parts ensures proper fit and maintains your vacuum's performance and warranty.
Is it safe to run my Roborock without a filter temporarily?
Never run your Roborock vacuum without a filter. Operating without a filter can damage the motor, reduce suction, and allow debris to enter sensitive internal components, potentially voiding your warranty and requiring expensive repairs.
