If that small onboard bin gets full during a run, the vacuum just drags excess dirt all over your house. Most robot vacs have a tiny bin capacity of about 0.6 liters. If you think your robot vacuum doesn't work, it's probably because you don't empty the bin often enough. We also named the Roomba i3+ our favorite vacuum due to its self-emptying bin.
