“How big of an area do you need to have to set it up in? Meaning, does it need to be a certain distance from walls on either side?”

• It's recommended you have at least 1.5 feet on each side of the Clean Base, which should be firmly against the wall. These steps will allow the Roomba to easily exit and return to its base.

• About an inch on either side seems to work fine.

• iRobot recommends 1.5 feet on each side, but I think you could have less - when it enters or returns to the base, it goes in a straight line. It may need the space to distinguish between the base and surrounding wall, but I think it's at least worth trying putting the base in a narrower space.

• Nope. Just make sure the robot will have space on either sides where the charging dock sits so when it returns to its base; it will not stumble over anything
