The most efficient self-emptying vacuum has docking stations that hold up to 45 days of debris without requiring intervention from you. Smart vacuums can also can map your home and stay clear of power cords and other obstacles.

1. Roomba from iRobot

iRobot was the first to introduce self-emptying robots in its Roomba i7. It has now taken this technology to a new level with the s9+. The flagship model is costly, but it also has the best performance of any robovac we've tested and includes features that other brands only envy.

It first collects dirt in its Clean Base. Then, it emptys that into a large, dust bag that you throw away every 60 days. This makes it an excellent option for those who prefer to avoid the hassle of to cleaning, but still need the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their home is regularly free of allergens and germs.

The s9+ is equipped with improved corner cleaning capabilities that allow it to be closer to walls and is more effective at cleaning up spots. If it determines that a certain area requires special attention the app will then return to it on a recurring schedule. If the area is very dirty, the s9 will return to it with a more powerful suction until all the dirt is cleared away.

You can control the s9+ using the included app or by using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (the s9+ is compatible with both) It allows you full voice commands including the ability to begin and stop, as well as stop. You can program the robot to start and stop its work at a certain time, or let it decide when to return to its dock.

The s9+ can do a fantastic job on bare floors and can remove small objects like rice and larger objects like cereal with ease. It's also pretty good at tackling low-pile carpet and has a strong suction with full dirt compartments, however it's not better on carpets with more thickness.

The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is a robot vacuum and mop that is able to sweep, detect rugs, and self-clean, mop making it one of the most hands-free robotic cleaners that are available. Its advanced navigation and mapping system provides an exceptional level of maneuverability. The companion app lets users to choose from a variety cleaning configurations. It also supports a broad variety of third-party applications that let you monitor your home as it is in action.

Like its predecessor, the S7 MaxV Ultra is excellent in sweeping hard floors and carpets. It scored well in our tests of dirt pickup and was able to handle difficult-to-clean tasks like the sand embedding test and the carpet deep clean test which we conduct by weighing the robot's dustbin prior to and after a predetermined amount of time. The S7 MaxV Ultra also does an excellent job at mopping. It has plenty of suction to take care of small and large debris, as well as pet fur on bare floors. It is a bit more difficult to deal with hair on low-pile, densely woven carpet, yet it manages to suck up most of the hair on this type of floor.

This model is one of the quietest we've tested with a maximum level of just 57.5 dBA in low-power 'Quiet' mode. It's not as discreet in its highest-power "Max" setting which can produce more than 80 dBA.

The S7 MaxV Ultra comes with a dedicated dock that can automatically empty the robot's dustbin and refill its water tank. It's a little more difficult to configure the X1 Omni, but once you've got it configured the robot will operate by itself.

It has self-emptying bags that are bagless and maps your home's surface as it cleans to provide complete coverage. You can control the SharkClean using the SharkClean App or by voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It also comes with physical boundary markers you can use to restrict its access to certain areas.

It has a relatively simple all-black design that looks and feels great. It's simple to put together right out of the box as it only requires just a few snaps to attach the side brushes and charging dock. The dirt compartment is small, though, so you may need to empty it often.

IQ Robot XL performed well in tests and was responsive to the app controls. The app allows you to choose power modes, change settings, and monitor the robot's battery level. The app also features a Find Robot button that helps you locate the device in case it gets lost.

Like other Shark products, the IQ Robot XL has impressive suction that can easily tackle dust bunnies and pet hair. The self-cleaning brushroll stops hair from clinging to the machine as it is combs away debris. The navigation module uses sensors to scan its environment while it moves. However, the process isn't as extensive as robots using LIDAR modules. The IQ Robot XL must run just a few clean cycles in order to map your space.

Compared with the iRobot Roomba 690, the Shark IQ Robot XL is easier to maintain, incurs lower monthly costs and provides better performance across different surfaces. However the iRobot feels better-built, charges faster, and has similar battery performance, and has an advanced suite of automation capabilities that allow you to customize your home's coverage map with no-go zones.

4. Eufy 11S

The Eufy 11S is a great choice for people who want a robot vacuum that can clean according to their schedule, but doesn't require a smartphone or voice command. This slim robot is simple to install and maintain, and it's able to effortlessly remove dirt and dust. It is recommended for cleaning light-duty daily tasks to keep your floors looking great.

It's less impressive than our other top picks, but it offers some benefits worth considering. For instance, its slim size allows it to maneuver through furniture with a low profile that other vacuums aren't able to. It also comes with a powerful 'Quick Clean' mode which uses multiple steps to clean your floors as thoroughly as is possible. The Smart Pathing" feature is not as effective, but still good enough to prevent repeating the same cleaning route over and over.

The iRobot is built better, incurs lower costs for recurring repairs and has a larger dirt compartment and lasts longer on charge, and maneuvers more effectively. It also gets rid of pet hair faster and performs better on floors with carpets and bare floors.

The Eufy 11S is more expensive than the iRobot Roomba 614, but it's also more expensive than the Ecovacs Deebot N79S. However, the iRobot is built better, has a longer maximum battery life, and picks up more dust and dirt than the Eufy. It is also simpler to maintain and has fewer regular expenses. It also comes with more automation capabilities. The companion app is better, offering more useful information on the vacuum's battery level and status.

5. Ecovacs Deebot N8 Pro+

The robot vacuum might appear similar to others on the market but it has some unique tricks to play with. You can assign certain rooms or areas to be cleaned, adjust the power levels and mops via the app, and utilize voice controls to make your own preferences. The suction power of 2600Pa is impressive, and at 67dB, it's much quieter in use than most other robots I've tried.

Deebot N8 Pro+ can also stay clear of obstacles thanks to its TrueDetect 3D Laser. This technology uses structured light to scan the room and map its contents, which means it can work around furniture, showpieces, shoes and charger cables. It is also more precise than other robots as it can detect tiny objects at a millimetre level and devises a strategy to stay clear of them.

Utilizing the ECOVACS application it is possible to monitor your robot's progress, plan cleaning sessions, and alter settings from wherever you are. It can also create specific boundaries to allow you to better control the areas where it cleans. This keeps it from securing important family items, messy school projects, and laundry.

The app is simple to use and the instructions are simple. The entire process of setting it up takes about an hour. Once you've mapped your home, you can let it run on its own, or create a customized cleaning plan for each room. It will return to its charging dock once the battery gets low and will resume exactly where it left off when it's fully charged again. A dust bin that automatically emptys is included in the ECOVACS Deebot N8 Pro+ and you won't need to touch its contents unless you need to change the dust bag.
