Self-Empting Robot Vacuums

It is necessary emptying your robot vacuum on each cleaning cycle can be very annoying, especially for people with allergies. And, of course, dirt and debris are tossed back into the air each time you empty the vacuum.

Self-emptying bases minimize your exposure to dust because the robot transfers debris from the onboard trash bin to a bigger trash bin when it is full.

The Samsung Jet Bot+

Samsung's robot is one of the most advanced robots we've evaluated and comes with excellent filtration, brilliant navigation and hands-free emptying of the trash bin. It also comes with HEPA filtering and can lock in airborne particles, which can reduce allergies. The top of the device is an adjustable brush bar that rotates with soft bristles that can reach into the tight corners. It also comes with self-cleaning extractors that grind hairs to avoid tangles.

When I tested the Jet Bot, it picked up a good amount of dirt from my carpets and hardwood floors. It missed a couple of tiny things in the corner of my dining room and had to go back over them however it did a great job overall. It won my tests compared to the Roomba because its side brush was able to better reach around edges, and was more effective in cleaning small particles.

Samsung Jet Bot can be operated via the SmartThings App and set to clean itself automatically at times that you prefer. It can be programmed to clean certain rooms or areas. You can also set physical and virtual no-go zones as well as ones.

It makes use of LiDAR sensor technology that is similar to that utilized by self-driving vehicles to aid in mapping and navigation. A camera is also placed in front of the device to enable intelligent object recognition. This feature allows it to avoid collisions with furniture and other items and find the most efficient route between rooms. It also flags any object that it considers to be "poop" and offers an educated guess (it can choose from three options that are recurring: towel, sock or cup/plate).

The SmartThings application lets you organize cleaning times easily as well as monitor the health of the robot, and keep track of what's happening on the map. It can also be set to inform you when the bin is full, and it will return to its dock to empty itself prior to resuming its cleaning cycle. The 0.3L dustbin is easy to empty and can be cleaned since it's sealed to ensure it's clean.

The Roomba iRobot 960 from iRobot

The Roomba is iRobot’s most expensive robot. It's also a great performer, easily placing it in the same class as the top self-emptying robotic vacuums, when it comes to cleaning power. This is thanks to its HEPA filters and powerful battery. It also comes with a clever little feature known as CarpetBoost that automatically boosts power when the vacuum senses that it is on carpet.

This model is similar to previous models in that it has a circular frame and a transparent window with a camera. It's that camera that gives this model some real smarts. It makes use of the camera in order to perform VSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) by looking for distinctive characteristics in a room and then remembering the features. It then compares this information with relative positioning gyro, IMU and wheel odometry information to create an image of the space it's in.

It's an extremely clever system, and it actually performs pretty well - even on carpets, which is which is where the Roomba typically has a harder time than it does on hard surfaces. There are other great useful features of the 980 as well, such as the ability to set up an annual cleaning schedule and play a sound to aid in finding your robot. There's a large "Clean" button on the front of the device that will get your robot up and running and there are indicators that indicate when it's charged or connected to Wi-Fi, and when its bin is full.

The 980 comes with an easy spot cleaning feature that can be used to clean up small spills. However it doesn't offer the same amount of coverage as more advanced options. If you have wires that could be dangerous to your robot, you can use the virtual wall feature to create a wall that will tell it to stay away from them.

The app that accompanies the 980 is also very user-friendly and provides you with an excellent visual overview of the robot's performance and what it's up to. You can also create your schedule and experiment with other settings, like bin capacity, reduced power mode and more.

The iRobot Roomba 960

iRobot is a name that is synonymous with robot vacuums. The Roomba 960, which costs $700, is between the two. It's less expensive than the top-of-the-line 980 but it comes with many of the same features like a camera for navigation and a smartphone application with detailed cleaning maps and reports. It also comes with Virtual Wall which creates a barrier that the Roomba can't penetrate.

The 960 performed well, particularly on floors that were not bare. It sucked up a lot of cat litter, food crumbs and tracked in dirt. It can also climb over obstacles like tables legs, stair runners and chair legs. It sucked up pet hair, too, although it was unable to handle some smaller pieces of debris, such as baking soda.

One thing that separates the 960 from other Roomba models is that it uses an additional dustbin for large particles which reduces maintenance requirements. You can empty it with the press of a button, through the iRobot HOME app or using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands.

The iRobot HOME App allows you to personalize each cleaning cycle. You can set the number passes, and Local choose from different options like edge clean, or a full room sweep. It also sends an alert when it's about to empty the dirt container.

The 960 is simple to use it has buttons on the top and controls available in the iRobot Home app or via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It's also simple to maintain and comes with a display at the top that shows battery's lifespan and local docking station that automatically transfers debris from the dirt compartment to the bin when you're ready to empty it. The iRobot HOME App can also provide you with videos on how-to and also show the location of each object it has gathered. The 960's battery life isn't stellar but it's enough for most people to run throughout the day without worrying about charging it before bedtime. The iRobot HOME App is available on both iOS and local Android devices.

The Roomba iRobot 960 from iRobot

The Roomba 970 is a robot vacuum cleaner that works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa. It utilizes the same advanced navigation system as other recent iRobot vacuums and is able to detect stairs. It utilizes a centrally-located camera to scan the floor while it moves and can identify furniture, walls and other obstacles. It can also set boundaries for the robot with the virtual wall tool.

This model differs from earlier models because it uses lithium-ion batteries instead of nickel metal Hydride. This means it can last longer between charges, and it has more power when cleaning. It's not as fast as the Shark AI Robot but it can navigate the space easily.

As with the other models in the 960 series the 970 can be controlled via the iRobot app and connects to your Wi-Fi network without installation required. It has an incredibly small handle on the front of the device that you can use to manually return it to its charger and a spot-cleaning button lets you concentrate on a specific area of your home. The 960 series robots also feature the same three-stage cleaning procedure like other iRobot models, which incorporates power-lifting suction with agitation to thoroughly clean the floor and eliminate dirt.

The 960 is fantastic on carpets that are not bare. Its brushrolls and powerful vacuum can remove a lot of dust, hair and other particles. However, it has a difficult time with carpets with high piles and tends to leave some sand behind in its tunnel. It has a decently-sized dirt compartment and will notify you when it's full, either via the app or a light that appears on top of the robot vacuum mop combo self empty. It can also be programmed to clean at a scheduled time and we had no trouble setting this up in our tests.
