Dry leaf fragments and long stems behave differently from fine dust. Contain the bulk near the entrance and keep damp organic material out of the robot's bin.

A practical checklist
- Remove whole leaves, twigs and wet clumps manually.
- Check the intake after a focused dry entrance clean.
- Empty or inspect collected debris promptly if any organic material remains.
What this looks like at home
A small pile beside the back door can bridge the intake even when the bin has plenty of spare volume.
Handle unusual debris before the normal clean
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Bulk cleanup | Use appropriate manual or specialist tools first. |
| Local run | Keep the robot to suitable dry household debris. |
| Afterwards | Check wheels, brush, intake and bin. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not send a household robot outdoors to collect leaves.
