An inkjet recording apparatus may include a carriage, a recording head mounted on the carriage and including a nozzle surface, a maintenance mechanism, and a controller. The maintenance mechanism may include a cap which covers, in a covering position, the nozzle surface of the recording head, a pump including an inlet and an outlet, a tube extending from the outlet, and a waste ink storage detachably attached to the tube. The controller drives the pump to execute purging with the inlet of the pump in communication with the cap in the covering position, receives an input indicating replacement of the waste ink storage, and drives the pump to execute an idle suction with the inlet of the pump in communication with atmosphere when a time elapsed after the execution of the purging until the reception of the input is shorter than a threshold time. |
