The auto-empty dock is definitely not necessary, though some folks here will disagree. The people who say they can't live without auto-empty are typically in homes with multiple heavily-shedding pets and carpets who say they'd have to empty it every day.
But if you're closer my situation, with mostly hard floors, some rugs, and no pets, running a schedule covering 2,200 square feet with rooms other than the kitchen and high-traffic areas vacuumed just once a week, I wouldn't recommend the auto-empty feature.
And I wouldn't recommend auto-empty if you have a messy house, because it's a mechanical device that picks up all kinds of debris, and to me you shouldn't buy a robot vac if your goal is to completely ignore it. When I empty it every week or two, I also look under the unit and untangle hair from the roller and side brush, and often (sadly) remove things that are stuck and could clog the whole thing. My wife is a bit of a slob and at various times I've found socks, face masks, hair bands, paper receipts, tissues, and bra pads among the things blocking up the vac. If you rely too much on auto-empty, you could be running the thing for a month or two with crap blocking the suction.
