Up to 60 days of debris
Shark says the bagless, self-emptying base holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris.
No bags to buy

It returns to the base by itself
Shark pairs a 120-minute runtime with Recharge and Resume: the robot returns to the base, recharges and can pick up where it left off.
Methodical runs
