So I have a bottom full of leaves. S300 runs on 3 hour cycle. Maybe 30 leaves in the basket. Thoughts?
S300 not picking up leaves

Something is definitely wrong. We have lots of trees and lots of leaves and I've been running twice a day this week. Our Doheny's Discovery, basically same as S200, fills the basket to the top with leaves. I use the mesh/coarse filters. Not sure what to check for though as this isn't a problem that I have seen reported. Is the magnetic closer in the bottom of filter basket OK?
Yes, it has picked up leaves before.

Yes, using mesh filter. By magnetic closer are you talking about the cloth/fabric that is part of the opening on the bottom?

Is it climbing the wall? My guess is that there's something interfering with the motor's function. You can reach in and check for obstructions around the fan motor.
Yes, the fabric on the bottom, there are magnetic closer bars in there. Have you checked the impellar for leaves?

When I had a lot of leaves my Dolphin S300i had problems picking them up. They were bunching up where the fabric is on bottom and just stirring leaves around. I took the fabric thing off and it picked up more. Worth a shot.

Did you get a chance to try your robot without the fabric on bottom?
No. traveling last night and today. Had someone come get them out manually. Will work to see if this option works though.
