It is equipped with sensors for precise navigation and can clean for up to 120 minutes on a single charge. The AutoEmpty dock enables the robot to empty its bin into a sealed bag that can hold up to 60 days’ worth of debris. The device also includes customizable cleaning routines powered by iRobot OS intelligence.
The Roomba Vac 2 Essential is a vacuum-only model available for $399.99 at select retailers in North America. This model shares many features with the Roomba Combo 2 Essential, including the AutoEmpty dock and vacuuming capabilities.
