The Best Self Emptying Robot Vacuum

The most effective robot vacuums that self-empty come with bases that can hold a full month's worth debris and empty it automatically. It also creates a detailed map of your home and allows you to label rooms and create "no-go" zones.

It also is equipped with superior obstacle avoidance capabilities, so that it will stay clear from power cords and rogue socks.

Roomba s9+ from iRobot

This is a premium model from iRobot and it performs very well. It is able to move effortlessly across different surfaces and is extremely efficient at sucking dust, dirt and other debris up. It's also well-constructed and looks pretty nice too.

The S9 is the most recent model in iRobot's premium S Series line of robot vacuums. As such, it comes with many additional features that differentiate it from lesser models. The iRobot App can utilize, for instance, the camera to create a map that helps the unit navigate and clean effectively.

There's no need to clean the same spots again if the battery runs out. You can also start and stop cleaning sessions using the use of a simple voice command via the iRobot app. This smart vacuum can also clean in the dark!

Another excellent feature is Carpet Boost, vacuum robot mop which gives the S9 extra suction power when it encounters carpeting to collect even more dirt and dust. This unit has an open-front design that lets it get closer to corners and walls than older round designs. This model is not compatible well with high-pile or shag carpeting.

In our tests, we observed that the iRobot S9+ cleaned thoroughly and efficiently a range of floor surfaces including medium and hard carpets. It also worked well on vinyl, and laminate flooring. It did a good job of navigating around furniture and objects, however it had issues with stairs where it might accidentally hit bookcases.

We loved the fact that the S9 automatically returns to its base to empty its trash bin when it's full, which significantly minimizes the need to be hands-on with maintenance. The dust bag should last for about 30 loads or a month and half. You'll need to replace the filter periodically (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.

Eufy RoboVac Hybrid X8

designed to remove one of the most tedious tasks off your shoulders, 360 robot vacuum vacuum cleaners take care of all the work and get carpeted and hardwood floors free of every day dust. The best ones can be controlled and monitored using an app on your smartphone, and some even have mopping tech for bathroom and kitchen floors. They're a great choice for busy families and they are becoming more affordable. However, if you want the latest features in your robotic cleaner, you'll be spending a little more.

The Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid is an all-in-one mopping and vacuum machine making it a great choice for those in a home with multiple floors. The Vacuum Robot mop's 0.6l bin can hold plenty of pet hair. Its dual motors offer powerful cleaning power. The dustbin is able to be removed and emptied with ease which is beneficial because you'll need to do it regularly.

It's also simple to set it up, although I recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid prior to running it for the first time. You'll have to install the Eufy Home app and follow the instructions for connecting it to your Wi-Fi network. Once you've done this the app will help you create an accurate map of your home. It can identify the rooms, divide large areas into sub-rooms to make it easier to open-plan living, and help direct the X8 Hybrid towards specific areas in need of cleaning at a particular time. Eufy's app is more user-friendly and refined than other robots with similar mapping and scanning 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 addition that makes the robot vacuum sale more hands-free. And it is very effective in our test house.

The X8 Hybrid, like many robotic vacuums has some issues with bare flooring. It can miss pet hair and other small objects, and is more likely to bump into objects - like its own charger that sits on its base for charging. It's not as quiet and the whirring sound 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 tested but it does come with the basics. It has a big enough dust bin that can hold plenty of dirt until it needs emptying, and its vacuum and mop system is great for carpets that are hard and low-pile. It's also extremely quiet. We were able to watch television while it was cleaning without feeling like we were bombarded with noise.

Our test subjects were impressed with how easy it was to set up and use, and were impressed by its capacity to take all the mess off their floors. It even did a pretty good job of picking up pet hair and other messes that get on carpeting, though it was less successful in removing stubborn stains. The users found the app to be user-friendly and intuitive, and were able to schedule the vacuum to clean on a regular basis to reduce the amount they had to do manually. It doesn't feature object avoidance or mapping technology, so it can't be used to send specific rooms or follow virtual boundaries (though magnetic boundaries are compatible).

The V3S Pro is another model from the iRobot's budget line. It comes with some impressive features at a reasonable price. It was the best of all robotic vacuums we tested in terms of the ability to avoid obstacles and map them, and is the ideal option for those looking for a smarter self-emptying robot vacuum that can handle pet hair and messes on both carpeting and hardwood floors. It's also quiet and has a large dust bin which can hold a lot before it's time to empty it.

The V3S Pro did not make it onto our top choice lists from trusted sources who conduct hands-on tests, however it was praised by Modern Castle, Smart Robot Reviews and The Ambient. They were impressed with the ease of set up and use, but they noted that its battery life was limited and it wasn't able to stay clear of some of the toughest problems we've encountered.

Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is an entry-level robot vacuum and mop that provides a wide range of features at a fair cost. You'll find many of the features you find on the top models, like intelligent navigation and mapping, all without spending a fortune. You can also use voice commands using Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri shortcuts to create custom automations, and then start your cleaning cycle remotely while you're away.

Roborock spent a lot of time designing this smart cleaner. As a result, the product is extremely solid and feels like it was constructed from premium materials. Its base is strong and stable, with an integrated charging port for the battery. The docking station is located for the clean-water tank and dirty-water bins on top. Under those, you'll find a panel that holds the vacuum bag sealed.

After you have connected your device to the application, you'll see a 3D and 2D map of your home that shows you the location of your robot at any given time and what area it is cleaning. You can also build virtual barriers to keep your robot out of certain areas or to only clean certain types of flooring. It can also alter its power settings based on the type of floor being cleaned and choose the most effective cleaning method.

The Q Revo stands out from many other robot vacuums due to the fact that it can lift both of its mop heads while vacuuming. This prevents carpet fibres from becoming stained. In fact, it's the only vacuums on the market that can do this.

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

The only downside to this model is that it takes an extended time to empty and fill both the clean and dirty tanks. You can reduce the frequency of this by using the auto-empty function, which will empty the bin on its own after a couple of days. You'll still need to check the level of water on the dock manually however, since there's no way to set an automatic reminder.
