Hello Irobot! I just bought a Roomba 560 from Amazon for $367.89 Just a few days ago and I have a problem with the dock station ok so when my Roomba goes to the station it docks perfectly but the light on the station does not light up and I'm crushed Should I buy a new station? Thanks!

[StephenBrownRX--]

6ft? Goodness. No wonder he never finds his way back without help. Is this range higher, or does the auto-dock function differently in higher models (>890)?

[MartinKubaS]

i hate that new function on roomba e5, when it is docked, the lights on the roomba and the light on the home base are after some seconds turned off, so i did not know, if it is pluuged into the socket

Do all roombas return back to the dock to charge? Mine just kept going till the batteries ran out.

[JustSomeNoob]

but what do i do when he keeps moving his home into the corner and then can't get back home because its been moved into a difficult position?

[thedog-mn]

other help:
make sure the base is at least 5 feet long.

[weaverron]

how do you stop the dock from sliding all over the floor?

[mistyross]

My Roomba won’t return to home base even when I use the app

Here's my issue Roomba. Why can't you leave shit well enough alone. This one goes solid green. My model blinks. And the battery doesn't illumintate. But there's no video for my model. So what you have is misleading information that makes troubleshooting harder. Also, why is the charge base so light? It just pushed the base around, so I have to hold it in place during docking.

Why is my roomba running over the base
