## Questions buyers ask

### How is it different from the Plus 415?

The 575 adds PrecisionVision AI obstacle recognition, a hot water pad wash and solution dosing. Ideal Home suggests the 575 over the 415 if floors have cables or pet toys.

### Can the mops stay in the dock while it vacuums carpet?

No. Android.com.pl says the pads cannot be left in the dock; they lift 10 mm over rugs instead.

### How often do I change the bag?

iRobot says the bag lasts up to 3 months.
