Self-Empting Robot Vacuums

It is necessary emptying your robot vacuum every cleaning session can be a hassle, especially for people with allergies. In addition, dust and dirt that gets kicked back into the air every time you empty your vacuum.

Self-emptying bases reduce your exposure to dust by letting the robot transfer debris from its onboard bin into a larger trash bin when it's full.

The Samsung Jet Bot+

Samsung's robot is one of the most advanced robots we've evaluated and is equipped with superior filtering, superb navigation and hands-free dustbin emptying. It also comes with HEPA filtration and can lock in airborne particles to reduce allergies. The top of the device features a rotating brush bar, with soft bristles that can be able to reach into the tight corners. It also comes with self cleaning extractors that crush hairs to avoid knots.

The Jet Bot picked up a number of pieces of debris on my hardwood floors and carpets when I tested it. It missed a few small things in my dining room corner and required me to go over them once more however it did an excellent job overall. It topped my tests when compared to Roomba. Roomba because its side brush could better reach around edges, and it was more effective in picking up small pieces of debris.

Samsung Jet Bot can be controlled through the SmartThings App and set to clean automatically at times that you prefer. It can also be scheduled to clean specific rooms or areas, as well as adding virtual no-go zones (and physical ones if you want).

It makes use of LiDAR sensor technology that is similar to the technology utilized by self-driving vehicles to aid in mapping and navigation. A camera is also placed in front of the device for smart object recognition. This feature assists in avoiding collisions with furniture or other objects, and to find the most efficient way to move between rooms. It will also recognize any objects it thinks are "poop" and make an educated guess.

The SmartThings app lets you set up cleaning schedules, monitor the status of the robot and keep track of what's happening on a map. It can also be configured to notify you when the bin is full and it will return to its dock to empty itself before resuming its cleaning routine. The 0.3L dustbin can be easily empty and cleaned since it is fully enclosed.

The Roomba iRobot 960 from iRobot

The Roomba is iRobot’s most expensive robot. It's also a great performer that easily puts itself in the same class as the top self-emptying robotic vacuums for its sheer cleaning power, thanks to its HEPA filter and powerful battery. It also has a handy little feature called CarpetBoost which automatically boosts power when it detects that it's on carpet, which is a nice feature.

Like previous Roomba models, this model's frame is circular and it has a single, clear window at the top that houses cameras. This model is clever because of its camera. It makes use of the camera for VSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localization Mapping), by looking out for distinctive features and remembering the features. It then compares this information to relative positioning gyro, IMU and wheel odometry data to create an image of the space it's in.

It's a smart system that performs well, even on carpets which is where the Roomba isn't able to cope. There are a few other amazing smart functions on the 980 as well, such as the ability to set up a weekly cleaning schedule and play a tune that will help you locate your robot. The front has a large "Clean", which will start your robot. There are also indicators that show the time it's charging, connected to Wi-Fi and when the bin is full.

The 980 has a basic spot cleaning feature that can be used to clean up small messes. However it isn't able to cover as much as more advanced options. In the event that you've got wires that pose dangers to your robot there's a virtual walls feature where you can put a barrier down that warns it not to approach it.

The app that comes with the 980 is user-friendly and provides you with a nice visual overview of the robot's performance and what it's doing. You can also build a schedule and play around with other settings like bin capacity and reduced power mode.

The Roomba iRobot 960 from iRobot

iRobot is a name that is synonymous with robot vacuums. The Roomba 960, which retails for $700, is in the middle. It's a bit cheaper than the top-of-the-line 980 but it comes with many of the same features, including a camera to navigate and a smartphone app that provides detailed cleaning maps and reports. It also comes with a Virtual Wall, which creates an invisible barrier that the Roomba will be unable to cross.

The 960 performed well, especially on floors that were not bare. It sucked up lots of food crumbs, cat litter and dirt that had been tracked in. It also excels at climbing obstacles, like stair runners, and the legs of tables and chairs. It also was able to suck up pet fur though it struggled with smaller particles, like baking soda.

The 960 is different from other Roomba models because it has a separate dust bin to store large amounts of debris. This reduces the necessity for maintenance. You can empty it at the touch of a button, through the iRobot HOME app or using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands.

You can use the iRobot HOME app to tailor each cleaning cycle by setting the number of passes and select among different options, such as edge clean or a complete room sweep. It can also send an alert when it's nearly to empty the dirt container.


The 960 is simple to use, with buttons on the top and buttons in the iRobot HOME app, or via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It's also easy to maintain and comes with a display at the top that shows battery's lifespan and a docking station that automatically transfers dirt from the dirt compartment to the trash bin when you're ready to empty it. The iRobot HOME app also shows you the location of every object it has collected and provides how-to videos for different maintenance tasks. The battery life of the 960 isn't great however it's enough to allow you to use it throughout the day without worrying about recharging prior to the time of bed. self.emptying robot vacuum is available on both iOS and Android devices.

The Roomba iRobot 960 from iRobot

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that will automatically empty its own bin and is compatible with Google Home or Amazon Alexa, the Roomba 970 is worth checking out. It utilizes the same advanced navigation system as other recent iRobot models and is able to detect stairs, which is something that could be a pain with some other vacuums. It also uses an internal camera to scan the floor while it moves and is able to recognize furniture, walls, and other obstacles, so that it doesn't just randomly bump into things. It can also establish boundaries for the robot using a virtual wall tool.

One of the biggest differences between this model and previous Roomba models is that it utilizes a lithium-ion battery rather than the nickel metal hydride batteries found in the older models. It can now run longer between charges and has more endurance in cleaning sessions. It's not as fast as the Shark AI Robot but it is able to navigate through the space with ease.

The 970, like other models in the 960 series, is controlled via the iRobot App and connects to the Wi-Fi network with any setup required. It has a small handle on its front of the device that you can use to return it manually to its charger and a spot-cleaning feature that allows you to focus on a specific part of your home. The 960 series models feature the same three-stage cleaning process similar to other iRobot models, which incorporates power-lifting suction with agitation to thoroughly clean the floor and eliminate dirt.

The 960 works well on bare floors and can pick up a large amount of dust, hair, and other debris, thanks to its brushrolls as well as powerful suction. It is unable to handle carpets with high pile and will to leave a bit of sand in its tunnel. It has a decent-sized dirt storage compartment and will notify you when it's filled, either via the app or a indicator on the top of the robot. It can also be programmed to clean at a predetermined time and we had no trouble setting this up in our tests.
