Keeping your robot vacuum running efficiently starts with proper care of its dustbin. Regular maintenance not only ensures peak performance but also extends the life of your device. In this article, we’ll walk you through essential tips for the robot vacuum dustbin daily maintenance.
How to Correctly Install the Dustbin
A properly installed dustbin is crucial for your robot vacuum to function smoothly. When inserting the dustbin, make sure it clicks securely into place. Also, ensure the HEPA filter is correctly seated within the bin. An improperly placed filter or dustbin may trigger alarm signals, causing the device to stop working.
Before installation, always check if the dustbin is full. It’s recommended to empty it first to avoid overfilling and potential blockages.

Best Practices for Robot Vacuum Dustbin Daily Maintenance
Regular cleaning is key to maintaining suction power and hygiene. Here’s how to clean your robot vacuum dustbin effectively:
Empty the dustbin after each use, or at least every two cleaning cycles. If the dust box is damaged, you can purchase the dust box replacement parts separately, and you can buy high-quality replacement parts on techTongBo.
Remove the HEPA filter and gently tap it to discard loose debris. For a deeper clean, rinse the filter with water and let it air dry completely before reinserting.
Always place the filter back into the dustbin after cleaning. Running the vacuum without the filter may damage the motor and reduce air quality.
Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the inside of the dustbin and the sensors.

Why Does the Dustbin Show a Red Light Alarm?
A red light alert related to the dustbin is usually caused by one of the following:
Incorrect installation: Try removing and reinserting the dustbin until it clicks into the correct position.
Misplaced or dirty HEPA filter: Remove the filter, clean it, and place it back properly. You can click here to watch how to clean the filter on the dust box.

System error: Try turning off the robot vacuum by long-pressing the power button. Restart the device and run another cleaning cycle.
If the issue continues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.

Additional Tips for Longer Dustbin Life
Avoid washing the dustbin with harsh chemicals; mild soap and water are sufficient.
Store the robot vacuum in a dry and clean environment to prevent mold and dust accumulation.
Replace the HEPA filter every 2–3 months depending on usage.
