Disposable filter dust bags

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!

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

Hmmm....sounds like a marketable item!

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.
