I just bought a D85, but haven’t set it up because the directions say I need 3 feet on either side of the dock, and I don’t have that anywhere. How critical is that? I’m hoping I don’t have to take this back.
@Tumblefur, Have you tried the robot regardless of the 3 feet from the wall? If it works then it’s fine. The 3 feet is suggested so the robot will be able to sized the dimensions of the room to clean.
No I have not, I did not want to unpack it since it would be more difficult to return. My most preferred location to set it up has about 1 foot on either side, with table legs on either side. Otherwise, it has to go into kind of a hidden location it might not find easily.
So will the location I’ve noted above work?
@Tumblefur, We really suggest you to try it regardless of the 3 feet. However we understand your concern about not wanting to open the box. Note that if the room is too dark, it is possible that the Neato might not be able to see/calculate its environment.
