Skipping the mopping dock means refilling by hand, every time

Without a mopping dock, you’re the dock. That means manually refilling the clean water tank and emptying the dirty one every few cleaning cycles — and if you forget, the robot simply stops mopping mid-run and carries on dry-vacuuming. It’s not a dealbreaker if you’re the type who remembers to check, but the dock turns a twice-a-week chore into something you think about twice a year.
