A self-cleaning dock means you stop thinking about the robot vacuum

A self-cleaning dock is the robot vacuum’s home base that takes over the chores you’d otherwise be doing — emptying the dustbin, refilling the mop tank, even washing and drying the mop pad. You don’t need one if you enjoy tinkering with your gadgets, but if you want a vacuum that just disappears into your routine, a self-cleaning dock turns a weekly maintenance job into a quarterly one.
