Disposable filter dust bags

Post by Shilohcane »

Just got a Scheduler 4230. I got it because I was to lazy to vacuum. Everything was great until I started to dump the dirt and got all that dust all over the place. Are there any disposable filter bags that could be just tossed?

Welcome to RoombaReview Shilohcane! :D

Currently Roomba does not have filter bags like classic/legacy vacuum cleaners. The closest one to something similar is the Karcher robocleaner in which collects it's debris and dust into a disposable bag when it docks but it will set you back US$1,500.00 :wink:

EDOH, I wish you luck. But you have to find a way to bag the dust as well. I was working with a forum member on how to hack roomba to do something similar to the Karcher but enthusiasm fell when he found a flaw in the design.

Out of curiosity what was the design flaw?

Check it out here on this thread from the hacking topics:

ROOMBA KARCHER LIKE SYSTEM

This was designed and tested about a year ago this month! Hope that some other set of eyes could continue and improve what was started. :wink:
