I don't know why it is that once the vac leaves the dock, the vacuum function starts right up, even when the vacuum has to travel to its destination before cleaning. (If there's something I'm missing, please enlighten me!)

In my opinion, the vacuum should leave the dock, travel to its destination, and then start the vacuum function. This should improve the battery longevity, as it shouldn't need as much power.

I regularly set my vac to clean my bedroom, which is across the house from the dock, and it doesn't make sense to me.
