The footprint is more than the robot and its dock: spare bags, pads, solution and cleaning access need a place too. Match automation to the storage you actually have.

A practical checklist
- List the consumables each shortlisted model needs.
- Measure the dock with its tank or lid access included.
- Choose a simpler charging-base model if extra water-care equipment would be inconvenient.
What this looks like at home
A vacuum-only robot may suit a small cupboard-based storage routine better than a large station with several bottles and spare pads.
Allow space for the work you do at the station
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Robot approach | Use the installation clearances for the exact station. |
| Human access | Allow tank, tray, cover and bag removal. |
| Floor and power | Choose a suitable dry, stable location near an appropriate socket. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not tuck a dock into an unventilated or inaccessible space against its installation guidance.
