iRobot Roomba e5 Filter Replacement

Introduction

This guide will help you replace the filter on the iRobot Roomba e5 (model number: e515020), a Roomba e series robot vacuum that is ideal for pet-friendly homes. Due to its capability in pet homes, the filter needs to be replaced once every two months (this can vary depending on how much your Roomba is being used). This is a simple four step process that requires no tools or previous experience. However, it can get a bit messy so it's best to replace the filter in an area where dirt is acceptable as the filter and vacuum will drop loose dirt often.
