A hallway station competes with people, doors and the robot's return route. Assess access for the whole household before choosing a large automatic mop dock.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Measure the remaining walking width and door swing.
- Allow the manufacturer's approach clearances and tank-removal space.
- Keep cables contained and the dock stable against its intended support.
What this looks like at home
A station that fits neatly between two doors may still block one door when its top tank is lifted out.
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
Avoid creating a trip hazard or obstructing an essential route.
