Asked 5 years ago by briand.

• A:Answer I figured it out. It only seems to self empty if it makes it home on its own. My previous runs it got stuck and couldn't make it back and when I docked it manually it didn't automatically empty even though it was full.

Q: QuestionWhat if the robot hits liquid

Asked 5 years ago by EdH.

• A:Answer We have 5 dogs, 4 of them are old and accidents happen. We also own 6 roombas. 2 with the disposal systems. I usually only run the roombas when I am at home, or the dogs are outside. It happened a couple of times that I did not see the little accident until I saw the streaks of pee all over my floor. Only a mop and bucket will help that and you have to take the roomba apart to clean it thoroughly. That is the only downfall. I love my roombas. Could not keep my house as clean of dog hair and the dirt they bring in without them. Just watch for any liquids.

Q: QuestionHow large of an empty space can this handle? I have a 1700-sq ft space that's empty. I like my little Roomba 614, but it keeps having an existential crisis if I don't litter the floor with heavy obstacles to let it know it's not alone in the universe.

Asked 4 years ago by Harry.

• A:Answer The i3 should have no problem navigating an empty space. It will clean until its battery is too low to continue and will then go back to the Clean Base to recharge. Once the battery is sufficiently charged it will resume cleaning. The i3 will repeat this process until it has determined that the entire space has been cleaned.

Q: QuestionWould the I3+ and the M6 be able to work in Europe at 220V. I am moving to the UK and would like to take this back with me

Asked 4 years ago by JoJo.

• A:Answer Hi JoJo, our robots that are sold in North America do not come with Dual Voltage. If you are planning to use your iRobot product in another country, please check the voltage specifications printed on any accessory that requires voltage to operate. While some of our products are compatible with multiple voltages, other products, like the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, are region specific.
