Wendy, You need to dump the cup EVERY timed you use your roomba. You also need to pull the filter part out of the cup and dump any cat hair stuck on the white paper filter. I bang them against the trash can a few times to get as much hair/litter out as possible. Then I do a filter

It's performed great, but as far as how much it holds, I haven't opened it yet to clean it out. I need to remember to do that tonight. It's a small thing, but bigger than I thought it would be-at least 1 ft. in diamter. I will try to remember to let you know after I take a look. Mine are
