The best self-emptying robot vacuum features a base that holds the equivalent of a month's worth and empties automatically. It also creates a precise map of your home, allowing you to label rooms as well as create "no-go" zones.

Roomba s9+ from iRobot

This is a premium model from iRobot and performs well. It maneuvers easily across a range of different surfaces and is highly efficient at sucking up dirt, dust and other debris. It's also very well-constructed and looks pretty nice as well.

The S9 is the most recent model of iRobot's top S Series line of robot vacuums and, as the name suggests, it has several additional features that differentiate it from lesser models. For instance, the iRobot app can use the camera in this unit to create a map of your home which allows it to in cleaning and navigation.

It will also return to the place where it left off if its battery is depleted during cleaning, so you don't have to re-clean the same spots. You can also start and stop cleaning sessions with the use of a simple voice command using the iRobot app, and this smart vacuum can also clean in the dark!

Another great feature is Carpet Boost, which gives the S9 an extra suction force when it comes in contact with carpeting to collect even more dirt and dust. The S9 has an elongated front design, which lets it get closer to walls and corners than the older round designs. However, keep in mind that this model isn't able to work well with shag or high-pile carpeting.

In our tests, we found that the iRobot S9+ cleans thoroughly and efficiently on a range of floor surfaces, from hard to medium-pile carpets and rugs. It also did well on tiles, laminate floors, and vinyl flooring. It also did a good job of maneuvering between furniture and objects although it did struggle with stairs, where it could accidentally hit things like bookcases.

We were impressed by the fact that the S9 automatically returns to its base to empty its dust bin once it's empty, which dramatically minimizes the need to be hands-on with maintenance. The dust bag is expected to last for around 30 loads or a month and half. It's recommended to replace the filter every few months (as recommended by iRobot). The iRobot S9+ is not very noisy when it operates which makes it a great choice for families with children or pets.

It's easy to set it up too, although I recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid before running it for the first time. Install the Eufy Home application and follow the directions to connect it to your WiFi network. Once you've done that the app will assist you to create a detailed map of your home. Rooms can be named or divide large spaces into sub-rooms (good for open plan living) and direct the X8 Hybrid to specific areas that need cleaning at the time of. Eufy's app is more user-friendly and refined than other robots with similar scanning and mapping functions.

The X8 Hybrid has a great feature: you can activate the vacuum cleaner or mop via voice thanks to its integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is a nice feature that makes the ion robot vacuum even more hands-free, and it works well in our test home.

The X8 Hybrid, like many robotic vacuums has some issues with bare flooring. It is prone to miss fur and small objects and can cause bumps to objects like its charger on the charging platform. It's not as quiet as some other models we've tried, and the whirring sounds can be distracting.

Roborock V3S Pro

The robot doesn't come with as many features as some of the more expensive ones we've tested, but it does provide the essentials. It has a huge enough dust bin that can hold plenty of dirt until it's empty, and its mop and vacuum system is great for carpets with low pile and hard floors. It's also extremely quiet and we could watch television while it was cleaning without feeling like it was blasting us with noise.

Our testers were impressed by how simple it was to set up and use, and they were impressed with its ability to clean all the messes off their flooring. It was successful in getting rid of pet hair, messes, and carpeting, but it was more difficult in removing stubborn stains. They found the app user-friendly and intuitive, and they were able to program the vacuum to be cleaned on a regular basis to cut down on the amount they needed to do manually. The only downside is that it doesn't have any mapping technology or object avoidance, which means you can't direct it to specific rooms or follow virtual boundaries (though magnetic boundary strips work).

Another model from iRobot's affordable line which is the V3S Pro has some impressive features for the price. It was the best of all robotic vacuums in our tests in terms of the ability to avoid obstacles and map them, and is the ideal option for those who are looking for an intelligent self-emptying robot vacuum that can handle pet hair and messes on carpeting and hardwood floors. It's also extremely quiet and has a huge dust bin which can hold a lot before it needs to be emptied.

While the V3S Pro didn't earn a spot in any of our top choices compilations from reliable sources that carry out hands-on tests, it got high marks from reviewers at Modern Castle, Smart Robot Reviews and The Ambient. They appreciated the ease of install and use, but they noted that the 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

You can also set up virtual barriers to ensure that the robot isn't in certain areas, and make sure that it only cleans specific kinds of floors. It's also able of adjusting its power settings according to the type of floor being cleaned, and choosing the most efficient method of cleaning.

In contrast to other robot vacuums, kyvol robot Vacuum the Q Revo can lift both mop heads while vacuuming to prevent staining your carpet fibres. It's actually one of the few vacuums that can accomplish this.

The Q Revo's suction capacity of 5500Pa is enough to remove pet hair and dust specks while mopping. The all-rubber brush works well to break up animal and human hair as it adapts to uneven surfaces.

The only drawback is that it does take a while to empty and fill the water tanks, both clean and dirty. You can reduce this frequency by using the auto-empty feature which will empty the bins automatically after a few days. There is no reminder to examine the level of water in the dock.
