Best Self-Empting Robot Vacuums and Mops The Eufy 11S robotic vacuum is one of the most affordable self-emptying vacuums available on the market. It ably sucked up dry oatmeal from hard floors and low-pile carpeting in our tests. Its dustbin opens and empties easily, making it easier to use than other models in its price range. It is charged at its base and then begins cleaning as soon as it's done. But its obstacle-avoidance technology gets caught in socks and cords, and it's unable to operate under low thresholds. 1. iRobot 11S The 11S is among the cheapest self-emptying robots and a lot of people seem to adore it. It is great at maneuvering under furniture and seems to be a smart option for people with hard floors or who wish to do light daily cleans. The suction is weaker than our top picks but it's still able to do the job. It also comes with a huge dirt bin and a battery which lasts for more than an hour. The app lets you schedule daily cleanings or choose a specific room. It's also possible to create a map of your home, which could aid in avoiding areas you don't want it to go to. The app is easy to use and has an intuitive layout. It's not an app with a lot of features, but it is easy to use and lets you keep track of the robot's activity. It has a tutorial that will guide you through the basics. Bounce Navigation's cleaning pattern isn't always intuitive. Sometimes it follows straight lines, and other times it focuses on the edges of the space. But it cleans the entire floor. It is not the best at navigating obstacles, it had trouble getting under our pet food bowls and pedals for the piano, and ended up getting stuck in our 2.25 inch shag carpet multiple times. We believe that there are better robot vacuums on the market than the 11S. The iRobot Roomba is simpler to maintain, has lower recurring costs and charges faster. It also has a larger dustbin and is more effective on all surface types and is able to overcome low-lying obstructions (like electrical cords) more easily. The eufy RoboVac11S is a different alternative for regular vacuuming. It is a close design to our top pick and is good at picking up smaller and fine dust from hard floors. It also does a great job on medium and low-pile carpet. Similar to the iRobot Roomba it also has a very large dirt compartment and utilizes BoostIQ to automatically adjust suction power. It also comes with an easy-to-use remote control to use, and you can program daily cleanings using the app. Its battery lasts for about an hour, and the dustbin can be cleaned without taking it from the dock. 2. Roborock S7 maxV Ultra Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a fantastic robot that comes with a a surprising array of automated features. The Roborock S7 MaxV comes in three different versions that include the basic S7 model, the S7 Plus model, and the S7 Ultra. The S7 MaxV Ultra is the only model equipped with an Empty Wash Fillet Dock (or an alternate Auto-Empty Dock). These docks allow the robot to return to its home base after a cleaning session and empty the debris it has collected into a dust bag or reservoir, empty the dirty water tank and clean its mopping pad. The S7's sensors work together to eliminate obstacles and clean the floors. It can detect floor types and save the map of rooms and zones and even detect levels of dirt. It's also capable of scheduling and executing spot-cleaning sessions. It performed well in our standard tests, but it didn't exactly match the Roomba j7+ during the carpet deep clean test. You can program the S7 using the companion app to run a cleaning routine in accordance with your schedule. You can choose a time either day or week as well as choose among a range of cleaning modes like automatic, eco and deep clean. You can also select whether the robot will stop if it is running out of power or encounters an obstacle. You can still use the S7 even if you don't own an iPhone by connecting a charging dock to the remote control. The controls can be confusing initially however they are very effective once you get used to them. The power button acts as the 'Cleaning' option, and the Spot Clean button instructs the robot to clean an area around it. The 'Spot Clean' button also activates the child lock. In addition to the new mapping features, Roborock improved its mobile app by adding live view features that lets you check out what the S7 is doing at home. You can enable this by pressing a specific sequence of buttons on the S7 and creating an unlock pattern in the app that you can use at any time you want to check out what the robot is doing. 3. Shark IQ Large Shark isn't as well-known for robot vacuums as iRobot and Roborock However, our tests on this model has shown it to be among the top self-emptying robot vacuums available on the market. It is simple to set up, comes with an enormous bin that is easy to empty (albeit a bit loudly) into a trash can when it's full, and can easily be programmed to do a complete home cleaning schedule or as required. The IQ XL can connect to your home WiFi that lets you monitor it through the Shark app and see its battery status as it cleans. The app allows you to create a cleaning schedule and receive push notifications about its condition in cleaning, pause it and then clean up, or set it for a single area. You can also control it with voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. The app will show you which power mode is currently selected which is Eco Normal, Maximum, or Normal – but we found that none of these modes made an obvious difference in cleaning performance. The IQ XL will automatically empty the dustbin at the end of a cleaning cycle into the base, and then automatically empty itself. The bin can hold up to 60 days of debris, meaning you don't need to empty it more than once unless your pets have hair that is long. If self cleaning robot vacuums do have to empty it, all you have to do is detach the side bin, put it up to a trash can and press a button to empty the contents. There's nothing to dislike about the Shark IQ XL, although it feels a bit less sturdy than the Roomba 694. It's effective at cleaning carpeted floors, however, it isn't as efficient as the iRobot Roomba i7 in terms of bare floor performance. The i7 is also better-built and feels more durable. It is robust, has less demanding maintenance requirements, has lower costs for recurring expenses, charges faster, while offering similar battery performance, and comes with the most advanced automation features like no-go zones and the ability to pick specific rooms to keep clean. 4. iRobot J7+ This robot vac/mop combo is a rarity as it does both jobs very well. iRobot Combo J7+ comes with all the features and smarts of its j7 counterpart, including LiDAR map and self-emptying. But it also offers additional features for mopping and vacuuming. The new acoustic sensors help the j7+ identify floor types, so it can choose between mopping and vacuuming when it first enters the room. This information can also be used to prioritize cleaning rooms that have carpets and rug versus those with hard flooring. Like many robotic vacuums, the j7+ is surprisingly quiet when running and it's quieter when mopping. The maximum reading of 64db on our decibel scale is similar to office chatter. You can easily set up a cleaning schedule and alter what happens when the dust canister is full. The j7+ can also be controlled by voice assistants, such as Alexa, Google Assistant and other. The app allows you to create and view maps in your home. In our tests, we found that the j7+ performed well on carpeted and hard flooring, removing the majority of the dirt we tossed at it. It has some issues with pet hair and larger particles like sand, but it is able to remove these items with a bit of effort. It has good navigational abilities and two cliff sensors to stop it from falling down stairs or getting stuck on furniture legs. The J7+ has some minor flaws, for instance, it could get stuck on cords or rugs and does not always turn off the mopping feature when it's done vacuuming. In all other respects, it's an excellent model that checks all the right boxes. iRobot j7+ has also one of the best auto-emptying systems that we've ever examined. It drops its 14oz/0.4-liter dust canister into the base station, and it automatically empties for you. This helps reduce the amount of trash that you have to get rid of. It is only necessary to replace the dust disposal bag at the dock every 60 days, based on how often you use the J7+.
