The Convenience of a Self-Empting Vacuum

Although the most recent robot vacuums are remarkably quiet when operating however, emptying their bins can be an issue. This is especially true if you use one with an auto-emptying base.

These bases have a dock that connects to the robot vaccum and vacuums out the debris into a bigger storage bin while charging the device. This eliminates the need to empty the robot vaccum's dustbin every two or three cleaning cycles, and instead only is it required to be emptied once every 30 or 60 days.

1. Convenience

While it may seem like the height of laziness to let your vacuum empty itself, it's actually a great convenience feature. The dustbins on most robots require manual emptied at the end of every cleaning session. This can take time and self emptying vaccum prevent the robot from completing the entire room in a single session. Self-emptying vacuums come with an incline that can automatically empty the dustbin once it's full. This saves you from having to bend down to empty the small bin.

Some models have a larger bin, which can hold up to a month's worth of debris. The process of transferring dirt from the bin to the base is usually quite quick and can make this an ideal option for people who live in large homes or have pets that shed a lot.

When considering a robot vacuum that can self-empty take note that they tend to be more expensive. This is primarily due to the fact that they have an advanced base that has an additional function in addition to charging your robot vacuum.

It might sound obvious however, self-emptying bases are typically quite tall. They can take up more space than other bases, which can be an issue for smaller homes or those with little storage space. The design of some self-emptying robot vacuums can be a visual annoyance. While it's definitely not a problem for most, it's something that might be a consideration for people who are worried about the aesthetic of their home. The good thing is that a lot of robot vacuums with self-emptying bases look great and I've had more than people stop me in my tracks to praise the stunning piece of technology in my home. Some may think this alone to justify the higher price.

2. Less Allergens

Allergens are a major issue for many households, especially if someone in the household has allergies. Using a self emptying vaccum can cut down on the amount of dust, pet dander and other allergens released into the air after vacuuming. You can be assured that all harmful particles will be captured in the bag and filter, instead of being released into the air. This can affect those with allergies.

If you're looking to make your vacuum more allergy-friendly, you should consider getting one that has HEPA filtering and a wide variety of attachments to clean different surfaces. These kinds of vacuums are ideal to remove pet hair as well as textured crumbs and tough debris from your home. This model comes with an extension cord of 25 feet that extends from floor to ceiling.

3. Easier Maintenance

Automating your robot vacuum to empty the bin into the base of its docking station is an enormous plus. It stops the bin from overfilling, which can lead to obstructions that could make your robot smell and stop working efficiently. It is also more hygienic to use the robot instead of manually emptying the trash. People who are allergic to dust can benefit from this since it keeps allergens from getting back into the air. The Samsung Jet Bot+ has a large bin that holds more debris than other self-emptying robot vacuums, which will help keep your floors cleaner longer. The bin even has an integrated filter that catches dirt, pet hair and other tiny particles. This makes it easier to clean and less likely to overfill than other self-emptying robots.

4. A Shorter Time

For those who have a difficult time keeping up with a busy schedule self-emptying robots can be an absolute game-changer. They let you do more cleaning without having to be physically present, and empty the dustbin at the end of each cleaning session. This allows you to take less time tackling chores, and more time relaxing or doing other things.

Regular robot vacuums typically come with dust bins or small bins that holds the accumulated dirt and debris it accumulates after every cleaning cycle. The issue is that when you're required to empty the dustbin, you're also exposed to all the nasty things that were thrown up in the air. You might need to wipe it down before making use of it again. The solution was introduced in 2018, when the first self-emptying robots were introduced. When the bin of a self-emptying vacuum gets full the robot returns to its docking station and Self emptying vaccum connects with the base station. The debris and dust are then removed from the bin by a loud whoosh into a foot high base canister that is fitted with a paper bag. The vaccum then recharges its batteries before returning to its cleaning route that it has programmed.

The bags for canisters are typically specified by the manufacturer to store 30 to 60 days worth of trash. It is necessary to empty your vacuum's base station once or twice a week depending on how often you clean it and the degree of dirtiness on your floors. As opposed to emptying the dustbin of a regular robot vacuum after every cleaning session, it's an enormous time savings and it also means you're exposed to less allergens on a more frequent basis.

Self-emptying robots can save you time by eliminating the need to replace the filter. Many of us have done this at least once. It also helps avoid problems like clogging and overstuffing which can cause your machine to smell or cease to function altogether.
