Apparently there is a common lid closer issue. The metal connector that confirm the lid are closed are not long enough. Had I known this before purchase I would not have bought. Too high price to have this design flaw. Makes it where I can't run remotely because I have to push on the lid to try to get it to recognize it is closed. So after it empties it stops doing the job. There are you tube fixes with tin foil and tape but I think I robot should make a retro fit fix for this. $1100 should not require tin foil and tape.
