I wouldn’t. There’s a low power mode. You might also consider taking the battery out for that time. They cover this topic in the directions.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it has instructions for vacation mode. To put Roomba into Reduced Power Standby Mode, place Roomba on the Home Base® and hold SPOT Clean on the robot for 15 seconds. You will hear a tone, confirming the activated mode. When in this state, the iRobot HOME App will be unable to connect to the robot and any scheduled cleanings will be suspended. If you immediately press CLEAN while the robot is on the Home Base to start a cleaning job while in Reduced Power Standby Mode, the robot will perform a regular cleaning job.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wouldn’t. Not only would it be a waste of power, but since you’ll be gone for so long, a cycle or two will fill the bin and would greatly reduce it’s effectiveness.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not suggest leaving it active for months It can get stuck and confused..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, another plus is if you set the schedule you can have it run once a week and excursive the battery while it vacuums the floor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It has a Lithium Ion battery, so I don't see why not. I would. If you're using a virtual wall, you might want to shut it off, though, because it just uses AA batteries, and it would be wasting the batteries.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I were going to be gone that long I would save battery for when I was home. I don't think it would be a problem but I would probably disable it while I was gone
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not think it would hurt to leave the Roomba plugged in, however whenever we have left on vacation for more than a week, I unplug most of the electrical devices, except our refrigerator, but only to save electricity while we are out. If it were me I would unplug the Roomba if I was going to be out that long. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
