The Best Self Emptying Robot Vacuum

The most effective robot vacuums that self-empty feature a base which holds an entire month's worth of debris and empty it automatically. It also makes a detailed map of your home and allows you to label rooms as well as create "no-go" zones.

It also comes with superior ability to avoid obstacles, meaning that it will stay clear from power cords as well as rogue sock.

iRobot Roomba s9+

This is a Top 10 Robot Vacuums model from iRobot and it performs very well. It can move easily across different surfaces and is extremely efficient at sucking dirt, dust and other debris up. It's also well-built and looks pretty good as well.

The S9 is the most recent model of iRobot's premium S Series line of robot vacuums and, as the name suggests, it has many additional features that set it apart from lesser models. For instance the iRobot app makes use of the camera of this model to create an interactive map of your home that helps it navigate and clean efficiently.

It's not necessary to spend time cleaning the same spots again when the battery is exhausted. You can manually start and stop cleaning by the voice command or by using the iRobot App. This smart vacuum can also clean in the dark!

Another excellent feature is Carpet Boost, which gives the S9 an extra suction force when it comes into contact with carpeting, to collect even more dirt and debris. The unit also has a square front design that gets closer to walls and corners as opposed to the earlier round designs. But, be aware that this model isn't able to work well with shag or high-pile carpeting.

During our testing, we found that the iRobot S9+ cleans thoroughly and efficiently on a range of floor surfaces, from medium-pile to hard carpets and rug. It also worked well with tiles, vinyl, and laminate floors. It did a great job of maneuvering around furniture and objects, but it had issues with stairs, and could crash into bookcases.

The S9's capability to automatically return to its base and empty its dust bin once it's full was a fantastic feature. It cut down on the need for manual maintenance. The dust bin is expected to last for around 30 loads or a month and half. It's recommended to replace the filter on a regular basis (as recommended by iRobot). We've found that the iRobot S9+ doesn't get extremely loud when it's in use and is a great choice for people who live with kids or pets.

Eufy RoboVac Hybrid X8

Designed to take one of the most powerful robot vacuum tedious tasks off your shoulders, kyvol robot vacuum vacuum cleaners do all the hard work to get carpeted and hardwood floors clear of the everyday debris. The best ones can be controlled and monitored using an app on your smartphone and some have mopping tech for kitchen and bathroom floors. They're an excellent solution for busy families, and they're becoming more affordable than ever before. If you're looking for the most advanced technology in your robotic cleaner and you're looking to shell out a bit more.

The Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid vacuum and mopping machine is a great choice for those living in multi-floored apartments. The vacuum's 0.6l bin can hold plenty of pet hair. Its dual motors provide powerful cleaning power. The dustbin is easily removed and empty which is great as you'll have to do this frequently.

It's simple to set up and I would recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid before running it for the first time. You'll need to install the Eufy Home app and follow the instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network. After you've completed this the app will help you create a precise map of your home. You can label the rooms, split large areas into sub-rooms to make it easier for open-plan living, and guide the X8 Hybrid towards specific areas that need to be cleaned at a certain time. Other robots also offer similar mapping and scanning functions, but Eufy's application feels more refined and intuitive than others.

One of the great features of the X8 Hybrid is that you can control the mop or vacuum using your voice, thanks to the integration with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This is a wonderful feature that makes the robot hands-free. It worked well in our test home.

As with many robotic vacuums the X8 Hybrid has some issues with floors that are not clean. It can miss pet fur and small objects and tends to bump things like its charger on the charging platform. It's not as quiet and the whirring noise can be distracting as other models.

Roborock V3S pro

The robot doesn't have as many features as some of the more expensive models we evaluated but it does come with the essentials. It has a large dust bin that can hold a large amount of dirt before needing to be emptied. The mop and vacuum system is great for carpets and hard floors with a low pile. It's also extremely quiet. We could watch the TV while it was cleaning without feeling as though we were being constantly bombarded by the sound.

Our test subjects were extremely impressed by how simple the machine was to operate and set up. They also loved the ability to clean all the messes from their flooring. It did a good job getting rid of pet hair, messes and carpeting, but it had a harder time eliminating stubborn stains. The app was easy to use and easy to understand. They were able set up the vacuum to clean on a regular basis to reduce the amount of manual work. The one downside is that it does not have any mapping technology or object avoidance, so you can't send it to specific rooms or follow virtual boundaries (though magnetic boundary strips work).

Another model from iRobot's affordable line, the V3S Pro has some impressive features for the money. It was the most efficient robot vacuum in our tests for mapping and avoiding obstacles. It's also the best budget option for those seeking a smarter, self-emptying robotic vacuum that can take care of pet messes and hair on hardwood floors and carpets with low pile. It's also extremely quiet and comes with a massive dust bin that holds lots of debris before it needs emptying and you don't have to worry about constantly emptying it.

Although the V3S Pro didn't earn a spot in our top picks compilations from reliable sources that conduct tests with hands-on, it received high marks from reviewers at Modern Castle, Smart Robot Reviews, top 10 robot Vacuums and The Ambient. They appreciated the ease with which it was setup and use, however they also noted that its battery life was very short and it was unable to stay clear of some of the most difficult messes we put it through.

Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is an entry-level robot mop and vacuum that provides a wide range of features at a fair price. You can enjoy many of the premium features, including smart navigation and mapping, without paying top dollar. You can also make use of voice commands via Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri shortcuts to create custom automations, and then start your cleaning cycle at any time while you're away.

Roborock has taken its time to design this smart cleaner. It is extremely well-constructed and feels as if premium materials were used in the making of it. Its base is strong and solid, and has an integrated charging port for the battery. The docking station is located for the clean-water tank and the dirty-water bins above. You'll also find a wall beneath the dock, which houses a sealed vacuum bag.

When you connect your device to the app, you'll get an interactive map of your home that shows where your robot is currently located and what area it's cleaning. You can also design virtual barriers to ensure that your robot isn't in certain areas or clean only certain types of flooring. It's also able of adjusting its power settings depending on the kind of floor being cleaned, and choosing the most efficient method of cleaning.

Contrary to other robot vacuums like the Q Revo, it can lift up both of its mop heads while vacuuming to prevent staining your carpet fibres. In fact, it's one of the few vacuums on the market that can do this.

The Q Revo's suction power of 5500Pa is enough to get rid of pet hair and dust specks while mopping. The all-rubber brush can be great at disentangling human and animal hair, as well as adapting to uneven surfaces.

Its only downside is that it can take a while to empty and fill the water tanks, both clean and dirty. You can reduce this frequency by using the auto-empty function, which will empty the bin on its own after a few days. There isn't an automatic reminder to examine the level of water in the dock.
