iRobot Roomba Authentic Replacement Parts - Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, Compatible with Roomba i Series Robot Vacuums Only

My Roomba J7 charging station was having problems, due to damaged contacts on the base. . I decided if I wanted to continue the use of my Roomba, then I would need to replace the charging base. This new one works perfect. The emptying part of the iRobot is much more quieter than the original base.

I bought this to upgrade from the standard docking/charging station that came with my J7. It works great - a bit loud for 5 seconds when it empties (sounds like a hairdryer running) but fine. Love it!

My j5 model wouldn't stop getting a bin full error no matter what I did. It'd run for 5 minutes before stopping again. I'm a little hesitant to give it a 5 because it had an issue charging, so I'm hoping that doesn't keep happening. For now though, it's saved me an immense amount of hassle.

We had originally not bought the base to save some money.. wrong. We should have just did it from the get go. It helps soo much and seems to help prevent a lot of our roomba errors we were previously having.

We got the i7 roomba for Christmas. It does a wonderful job of vacuuming the floor. We have a dog that loses copious amounts of hair. There are always big hair bunnies all over the hardwood floors. It doesn't matter how often we sweep, they still appear. The problem we found is that there is much more hair than you can actually see and the Roomba is so efficient that it fills up the dustbin rather quickly "with dog hair". When that happens, it just goes back to the base that came with the unit and notifies you that the dustbin is full. It can't do anything else until you empty it. Our downstairs is rather large and i7 can only do about a third of it before filling up. It's a pain to have to go downstairs and empty the bin as it "i7" can finish the job. Having said this, please don't judge me. You must think I have a rather dirty floor if it fills up so quickly. That's not the case. It's the dog hair.With the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal unit, the problem has gone away. It doesn't matter how fast the bin fills up, the sweeper goes to the clean base and empties itself and continues the cleaning job. Now that makes the i7 an absolute joy to have. I highly recommend this unit if you don't have it. Please remember that it only works on the "i" series Roomba. They sell the i7 Roomba With this Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal unit included but I tried to go the less expensive route and buy it without. Don't make my mistake

This gizmo is a huge added convenience for the i7 model Roomba. I love it. It's basically a stationary vacuum/charge station that empties your Roomba's basket into a much larger HEPA type bag you discard and replace once it fills up, just like for a conventional bagged vac. A replacement Roomba basket is supplied that the stationary vac can pop open to suck out the accumulated debris into its bag. Your Roomba returns to the stationary vac if low on charge or if its basket has filled up. If there's enough debris, the stationary vac cranks up and sucks it into its bag. Roomba, now empty, then resumes its mission once back at full charge.If like me you hated having to empty your Roomba (i7), this is for you. When you send Roomba on its initial mapping excursion of your premises, don't make the mistake I did and leave the old docking station also plugged in (both the existing i7 docking station and collection basket become surplus items). Your Roomba will map, and even show both stations, but (at least for now) will produce a messed up map of your premises.IRobot provides a modest set of replacement bags with your order, and more can be readily purchased. It's great to hear Roomba quietly trundle around doing its thing, periodically hearing the woosh of it being emptied. Lights let you know when its time for a bag replacement (after many, many Roomba runs).

I love this thing. We originally purchased our I7 without the base, and while it does a great job, it only does a great job until the bin is full. If you are running it when you are not home, it might not be able to finish because the bin is full. Believe me, the vacuum picks up a lot - mine runs 6 days a week. It’s just my wife and I and 2 cats in a 1700 square foot home - all hardwood - but there’s still plenty of dust and dirt every day.Enter the Clean Base. It’s so cool. The Roomba gets full and goes back to the base, empties (and charges if necessary) and is back on the job. And it stays on the job until the job is finished. And the bags in the base have enough capacity that only change the bag every 3 or 4 weeks.Do yourself a favor and don’t do what I did. I tried lesser systems and always had mediocre results. Trying to ‘save money’ by buying the cheaper solution. I wish I’d bought the Roomba first and I wish that I’d not waited to get the clean base. Buy them together and enjoy a clean floor every day with little fuss. I do clean the filter in the Roomba’s dust bin every few days and check it for tangles or excess hair/fur, but mostly it just does the job without any intervention. You can’t say that about lesser vacuums and you can’t even say it about the Roomba without this base.

普通にルンバが掃除終えたら、自分でダストボックスを清掃する癖が着いてしまっていた自分には必要性を感じなく、返品しました。
