The Best Self-Empting Vacuums

Robot vacuums are fantastic at keeping your floors clean however, they usually have dust bins that are small and require manual emptying after each cleaning session. High-end models have self-emptying bases that eliminate this step and allow the user to clean hands-free.

The most effective self-emptying vacuum cleaners feature docking systems that can store up to 45 days worth of debris, with no intervention. These smart vacuums can also map your house and avoid obstacles like power cords.

1. IRobot Roomba S9+

iRobot invented self-emptying robot vacuums using the Roomba i7, and it elevated the technology to the next level with the s9+. This flagship model may be costly, but it comes with the best performance we've seen from any robovac and comes with upgrades other brands only dream of.

It first takes in dirt and then it is able to store it in its Clean Base. Then, it emptys the dirt into a large bag that you can dispose away every 60-days. This makes it an excellent option for those who prefer to avoid the hassle of to cleaning, but also want the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their home is always free of germs and allergens.

The s9+ also features advanced corner cleaning capabilities that bring it closer to walls than the previous models, and it's more adept at spot cleaning as well. The application will return to a specific area if it detects it requires more attention. If the area is very filthy, the s9 will return to it with a more powerful suction until all the dirt has been removed.

The s9+ can be controlled using the app included or using Amazon Alexa (the s9+ is compatible with both) that lets you give full voice commands that include the ability of start, stop and pause. You can program the robot to start and stop its work at a specific time or let it decide when to return to its dock.

The s9+ can do a fantastic job on plain floors, clearing small debris like rice and larger objects like cereal with ease. It's also pretty good at dealing with carpets with low piles, and has a strong suction with an entire dirt compartment though it doesn't do as well on more dense carpets.

Like its predecessor, the S7 MaxV Ultra is excellent in sweeping hard floors and carpets. It was able to perform well in our tests for dirt pick-up and excelled in cleaning difficult tasks such as the sand embedded test, as well as the carpet deep clean test. We conduct these tests by weighing the dust bin of the robot both before and after the time-frame. The S7 MaxV Ultra also does a great job at mopping. It has plenty of suction to handle both small and large debris, as well as pet fur on floors without carpet. It has a tougher time with low-pile carpets that are densely woven, but it still manages most of the hair.

This model is among the quietest we've tested with a maximum level of just 57.5 dBA when operating in low-power "Quiet" mode. It's not as discrete in its highest power 'Max' mode which generates more than 80 dBA.

The S7 MaxV Ultra comes with an exclusive dock that can automatically empty the robot vacuum self emptying's dustbin and refill its water tank. It's a bit more difficult to set up the X1 Omni, but once you've gotten it set up the robot will operate on its own.
