Best Self-Empting Robot Vacuums and Mops The Eufy 11S robot vacuum is one of the most affordable self-emptying vacuums that are available. It efficiently sucked up dry oats from hard floors and carpets with a low pile during our tests. The dust bin opens and empty easily, making it more convenient to use than other models in the same price. It recharges at the base and then resumes cleaning when fully charged. Its obstacle-avoidance technology is caught in socks and cords and it is unable to reach low thresholds. 1. iRobot 11S The 11S is one of the most affordable self-emptying robots and lots of people seem to love it. It's great for scooting under furniture and appears to be a great option for those with hard floors or those who want to perform light daily cleaning. enboya robot vacuum is a bit less powerful 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 allows you to schedule your daily cleaning routine, or select a specific room. It's also possible to map out your home, which will assist in avoiding areas you don't want it to go to. The app is easy to use and has a simple layout. It doesn't include any advanced features, but it's straightforward enough to use and allows you to keep track of the progress of your robot. It also has a helpful tutorial to guide you through the basics. Bounce Navigation's cleaning pattern isn't always rational. Sometimes it follows straight lines, and other times it focuses on the edges of a space. But it cleans the entire floor. It's not the most effective at navigating obstacles, it was unable to get under our pet food bowls as well as piano pedals, and was stuck in our 2.25 inch shag carpet multiple times. We believe there are better robot vacuums than the 11S. The iRobot Roomba is simpler to maintain, has lower recurring costs and is charged faster. It has a bigger bin, is more effective on any surface and can scale low-lying obstacles (like electrical cables) more easily. The RoboVac 11S, which is eufy, is a good choice for regular vacuuming. It has a very similar design to our top choice and is excellent at picking up smaller and fine dust from hard floors. It does a good job on carpets with medium or low pile. Like the iRobot Roomba it also has a very large dirt compartment and uses BoostIQ to automatically adjust suction power. It comes with a simple remote control, and it is possible to set up daily cleanings with the app. The battery can last for around an hour and the dustbin can be emptied without removing it from the dock. 2. Roborock S7 maxV Ultra The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is an excellent robot vacuum and mop, with a surprising array of automation options. The Roborock S7 MaxV is available in three models that include the basic S7 model as well as 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 original location, empty the collected debris in a dust bag or reservoir, drain the dirty water tank and wash its mopping pads. Sensors on the S7 work in tandem to clean and eliminate obstacles. It can identify flooring types, save a map of rooms and zones, and even detect dirt levels. It's also capable of scheduling and running spot cleaning sessions. It did well in our standard tests, but it wasn't able to exactly match the Roomba j7+ during the carpet deep clean test. Using the companion app, you can program the S7 to run a cleansing cycle in accordance with your schedule. You can specify a time, day, or week as well as choose among a range of cleaning modes such as eco, automatic and deep clean. You can also decide whether the robot will stop if it runs out of power or comes across an obstacle. If you don't own a smartphone but you can still use the S7 by connecting a remote to the dock that charges it. The controls are a bit confusing initially however they are very effective once you get used to them. The power button also acts as the 'Cleaning' option, and the Spot Clean button directs the robot to clean up an area around itself. The 'Spot Clean” button also activates the child lock. In addition to the new mapping capabilities, Roborock improved its mobile app by adding a live view feature that lets you observe what the S7 is doing at home. You can activate this feature by pressing a particular sequence of buttons on the S7 and creating an unlock pattern within the app to use at any time you want to see what the robot is up to. 3. Shark IQ XL Shark's robot vacuums aren't as well-known as those from iRobot or Roborock. But our tests have shown that this model is one of the most effective self-emptying vacuums that are available. It's easy to set up and has a large bin that is able to be easily empty (albeit loudly) into a trashcan once full. It can also be programmed to clean the whole house on a schedule. The IQ XL can connect to your home WiFi and lets you monitor it via the Shark app and check its battery levels as it cleans. The app lets you create a cleaning schedule, receive notifications by push regarding its current status it is in, and the ability to pause and resume cleaning, or limit it to one room. You can also control it via voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. The app will inform you which power mode is currently selected such as Eco, Normal, or Maximum – but we found that none of these modes made an obvious difference in the cleaning performance. When it's finished a cleaning cycle when it's finished, the IQ XL automatically empties the dustbin into its base, and it self-empties. The bin can store up to 60 days of debris so you won't have to empty it more than once, unless your pets have hair that is long. If you need to empty it you can simply detach the side container, hold it over your trash can and press a button. There isn't much to dislike about the Shark IQ XL, although it is a little less robust than the Roomba 694. It does a good job in cleaning carpeted floors however, it's not as effective as the iRobot Roomba i7 in terms of the performance of bare floors. The i7 also feels more durable, is more robust and requires less maintenance. It also incurs lower recurring cost and charges more quickly and has similar battery performance. It also has more advanced technology for automation, such as areas that are not accessible and the ability to choose specific rooms to be cleaned. 4. iRobot J7+ This robot vac/mop combination is a rare beast, as it does both jobs very efficiently. iRobot Combo j7+ has all the smarts and features similar to its j7 counterpart including LiDAR maps and self-emptying. But it also offers additional features for mopping and vacuuming. The j7+ uses the new acoustic sensor to identify the floor type and allows it to vacuum or mop the room on its first pass. It also makes use of this information to prioritize cleaning rooms with carpets and rugs over those with hard floors. Like many robotic vacuums, the j7+ is surprisingly quiet when it's running, and even less noisy when it's mopping. Its maximum reading on our decibel meter was 64db, which is comparable to the sound of normal office chatter. It's easy to set an appointment to clean and alter the way that the j7+ operates when its dust canister is full. The j7+ is also able to be controlled by voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant, etc.).) to allow hands-free operation. the app allows you to create and explore maps of your home. The j7+ did well in our tests on carpeted and hard flooring, and was able to remove all the dirt we tossed at it. It has a hard time dealing with pet hair, large pieces of debris and sand. But it can remove them with a bit more effort. It also has good navigation capabilities and a pair of cliff sensors to prevent it from plunging down a flight of stairs or getting stuck on furniture legs. The j7+ has a few minor flaws, for instance, it can be caught on cords or rugs and it doesn't always turn off the mopping function when it's finished vacuuming. In all other respects, it's an excellent model that checks all the right boxes. iRobot j7+ has also one of the most efficient auto-emptying systems we've ever examined. It spits out its 14oz / 0.4-liter dust canister into the base station where it automatically empties itself for you. This will reduce the amount of trash you must get rid of. You will only have to replace the dust disposal bag on the dock every 60 days, based on how often you use the J7+.
