4 Things to Know About Roomba i5+ Dock Noise

The i5+ dock is louder than most competitors when the robot self-empties. The noise is most noticeable during the emptying cycle, not during normal cleaning.

If you are sensitive to noise, hear the Roomba dock in person before buying. The sound level may be disruptive if the dock is placed near a living room or bedroom.

The dock’s noise is brief but sharp. The emptying cycle lasts only a few seconds, but the volume can be startling.

Consider where you will place the dock. Avoid putting it next to a couch, desk, or bed if you want quiet relaxation time.
