Only from Roomba, the Roomba 205 DustCompactor Vac Robot is fully-loaded with innovation that keeps cleaning simple. The perfect vacuuming robot for homes where space is at a premium, this sleek, action-packed robot has all the benefits of a separate self-emptying dock built right into the robot. With the industry's first-ever mechanical compactor, debris is lifted into the robot and continuously compacted for up to 2 months at a time so you can keep your hands out of messes. The 3-stage Vacuuming System combines 70X more* power-lifting suction, a rubber brush that grabs all kinds of debris from crumbs in the kitchen to sandy footprints in the entry, and a corner brush that reaches into tight spaces and pulls up dust-bunnies wherever they gather. Feel confident the clean will be completed as the battery lasts for over three hours. But when it gets low, your robot automatically heads for a recharging and then returns to finish the task where it left off. Continuous, hassle-free cleaning is made possible by ClearView LiDAR hidden inside the robot. This high-performance navigation system quickly maps your home, smoothly steers around obstacles, and maximizes floor-cleaning coverage wall-to-wall. To customize your clean, simply tap the Roomba Home App to opt for multiple vacuum passes in high-traffic areas, choose the level of suction, or even schedule a night cleaning.This Roomba raises the bar with first-of-its-kind onboard compacting. Roomba blends seamlessly into your home decor with sleek, beautiful finishes, leaving behind a brilliant clean. *As compared to Roomba 600 series robots
