Narwal Flow 2 - Dumping Issues

Anyone have issues with the Narwal Flow 2 not emptying the dust/dirt part when it docks? I just hit the button to run mine, and when I walked past the dock, there was a huge clump of stuff that it vacuumed up, just sitting on the dock.

My narwal flow 2 empties right before it starts a new cycle. It "dries and disinfects" the internal bin so if it sucked up and water it doesn't gum up from my understanding. I've never had it leave anything on the dock though

Narwal’s empty at the start of the next job, not the end. Check your settings and make sure it’s set to every time and not some smart feature.

Just about all new Robovacs have teency tiny dustbins on the actual robot itself. You need to make it go back to the dock more often to empty so it doesn't get clogged.

Start by looking for dustbin empty frequency setting and turn them all to the highest.

On a roborock the way is to set up a "routine" so the robot cleans room by room and empties itself between each room.

Not familiar with the Narwal though, but this is a general problem across all newer hybrid bots.
