The Best Self-Empting Vacuums Robot vacuums are fantastic in keeping your floors spotless, but they often come with small dust bins that require manual emptying after each cleaning session. The best models come with self-emptying bases, which eliminate this step and allows the user to clean hands-free. The most efficient self-emptying vacuum has a docking station that holds up to 45 days of debris without requiring intervention from you. These smart vacs also can map your home and can avoid power cords and other obstacles. 1. Roomba from iRobot iRobot invented self-emptying robot vacuums using the Roomba i7. The company took the technology to the next level with the s9+. The flagship model is pricey but it also offers the highest performance of any robot vacuum we've tested. It also comes with features that other brands only dream of. It first collects dirt in its Clean Base. Then, it emptys that into a large, dust bag, which you dispose of every 60 days. This is a great option for those who want to keep their home clean without touching it, but still need peace of mind knowing their home is free of germs and allergens. The s9+ has enhanced corner cleaning capabilities, allowing it to get closer to walls and is more effective at spot-cleaning. If it detects that a specific area requires special attention the app will then send it back there with regular schedule. If the area is dirty, the s9 can return to it with stronger suction until the mess is cleared. You can operate the s9+ via the app that comes with it or by using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (the s9+ is compatible with both), which gives you full voice commands including the ability to begin and stop, as well as pause. You can also set a time frame for the robot to begin and stop its work or let it decide when it's ready to return to its dock. The s9+ is great for bare floors. It is able to easily get rid of small particles like rice, and larger objects like cereal. It is also great in cleaning carpets with a low pile and has a strong suction, even when the dirt compartment is stuffed. However, it does not do as well with carpets that are thicker. 2. Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is a robot vacuum and mop that is able to sweep, detect rugs, and self-clean making it among the most hands-off robotic cleaners available. Its sophisticated mapping and navigation systems deliver the best maneuverability, while its companion app gives you access to a variety of cleaning options. It also supports third-party apps that let you monitor your home as it is in action. The S7 MaxV Ultra, like its predecessor, is excellent at sweeping carpets and hard floors. It performed well in our dirt pick-up tests and was a savior in cleaning difficult tasks such as the sand embedded test as well as the carpet deep clean test. We perform these tests by weighing the dustbin of the robot both before and after the set time period. The S7 MaxV Ultra also does an excellent job at mopping. It has plenty of suction to take care of large and small debris and pet fur on floors that are not bare. It is a bit more difficult to deal with hair on low-pile, densely woven carpet, but still manages to collect the majority of the hair on this type of floor. This model is among the quietest that we've ever evaluated. Its low-power Quiet mode creates a maximum noise of only 57.5 dBA. It's not as quiet when it's in its maximum-power 'Max' setting that produces more than 80 dBA. The S7 MaxV Ultra is equipped with docks that automatically fill the robot's water tank and emptying its dustbin. It's a little more difficult to set up the X1 Omni but once you've set it up, your robot will run independently. 3. Shark IQ XL The Shark IQ Robot XL is a high-quality mid-range robot vacuum with strong suction and a wealth of smart features. It is self-emptying with a bagless base, and maps your home while it cleans to ensure full coverage. You can control the SharkClean using the SharkClean App or with voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It also has physical boundary markers that you can use to limit its access to certain areas. It's basic, all-black design and feel. It's easy to put together right out of the box because it just requires a few snaps for the side brushes and charging dock. Its dirt compartment is small, though, so it is likely to have to empty it quite often. IQ Robot XL performed well in tests and was responsive to the app controls. The app allows you to select different power modes, make changes to settings, and also monitor the current level of battery in the robot. The app also features an Find Robot button that helps you locate the device if it gets lost. Like other Shark products like the IQ Robot XL has impressive suction that is capable of tackling pet hair and dust. Its self-cleaning brushroll keeps hair from circling around the machine while it brushes through debris as well. Its navigation module makes use of sensors to scan its environment while it moves. However, this process is not as comprehensive as those that use LIDAR modules. It takes a few cycles before the IQ Robot XL completely maps your space. The Shark IQ Robot XL offers superior performance on multiple surfaces, compared to the iRobot Roomba 690. It is also less maintenance-intensive and comes with a lower recurring cost. The iRobot is more robust, more durable, and charges faster and provides the same battery performance. It also has an array of advanced automation features that allow you to configure the coverage map of your home, including areas that are not allowed to be in. 4. Eufy 11S The Eufy 11S robot vacuum is perfect for those who do not want to use smartphones or voice commands but nevertheless want a vacuum that can clean according to their schedule. This slim robot is easy to install and maintain, and sucks up dust and dirt without much effort. It is recommended for light cleaning in order to keep your floors looking great. It's not as impressive as other top picks but offers some benefits worth considering. Its short stature allows it to be able to maneuver under furniture with low profile which other vacuums can't. It also has a very efficient 'Quick Clean' mode that uses multiple passes to get your floors as clean as possible. The “Smart Pathing” feature is less efficient, but it is still effective enough to avoid repeating the same cleaning route over and over. This model isn't able to perform as well as the iRobot Roomba S9+, although it's better than the Coredy R550 (which is similar in price) and bObsweep Bob Pro. The iRobot has a better build, incurs fewer recurring expenses and has a bigger dirt compartment, lasts for longer on a single charge, and is more maneuverable. It also removes pet hair more effectively and does a better job on both floors and carpet. The Eufy 11S will cost you more than the iRobot Roomba, but also more expensive than the Ecovacs N79S. However the iRobot is better-built and has a longer maximum battery life, and sucks up more dirt and dust than the Eufy. It's also more easy to maintain, has fewer recurring costs, and has more automation features. Its companion app is better as well, providing more details about the vacuum's status and battery level. 5. Ecovacs Deebot N8 Pro+ It may look like almost every other robot vacuum available, but this one has some clever tricks in its bag. It allows you to use the app to manage the power levels of mops, vacuums, and even make your own preferences. Its suction power of 2600Pa is impressive and, at 67dB, it's quieter in use than most other robots I've tried. The Deebot N8 Pro+ is also able to avoid obstacles due to its TrueDetect 3D laser. This technology uses structured lighting to map the contents of a room and scan it. It can therefore work around furniture, shoes charger cables, as well as display pieces. It's much more precise than other robots since it works at a millimetre level to detect small objects and devise a way around them. ECOVACS App lets you monitor the robot's progress and schedule cleaning sessions, as well as change settings from any location. It is able to set custom boundaries, that gives you more control over where it cleans and also keeps it away from family heirlooms that are important to you as well as messy school projects and laundry. The app is easy to use and provides clear directions for getting started. The entire setting up process taking just an hour from beginning to finish. After you've mapped your home, you can either let it run on autopilot or create a cleaning plan for each room. If the battery is depleted it will go back to the dock that charges it and continue to where it left after fully charged. The ECOVACS Deebot N8 Pro+ has an automatic empty bin, so you don't need to touch it unless you wish to change the dust bag.
