5 Things to Know About Roomba Self-Emptying Bases

Models with a ‘+’ or ‘Plus’ in the name include a self-emptying dock. The dock automatically empties the robot’s bin into a sealed bag.

You only need to swap the bag every one to two months. This replaces the chore of emptying the bin after every single cleaning run.

The bags are disposable and seal shut when removed. This keeps dust and allergens contained during disposal.

The self-emptying base is larger than a standard charging dock. Make sure you have enough floor space for it before buying.

Not all Roomba models are compatible with the self-emptying base. Only buy a model with ‘Plus’ in the name if you want this feature.
