The Convenience of a Self-Empting Vacuum

Although the latest robotic vacuums are extremely quiet when they're used but emptying them is an issue. This is especially true when you choose one that has an auto-emptying base.

These bases have docks that are connected to the robot vacuum and cleans the debris into a large storage bin while charging it. This means that the dust bin of the robot vacuum is no longer required to be empty every two or three cleaning sessions, but only once every 30 to 60 days.

1. Convenience

Although it may seem it's lazy to let your robot vacuum and mop with self emptying vacuum empty itself but it's actually a wonderful convenience feature. Many robots have tiny bins that need to be manually emptied after each cleaning, which can take time and limit the robot's ability of completing an entire room's worth work in one session. A self-emptying vacuum has an element that will automatically empty the dustbin once it's full. This means you don't have to having to bend down and empty the small bin.

Depending on the model, some self-emptying robots have a larger bin that can hold a month's worth. The dirt is moved quickly from the robot's base and then to its bin, which makes it a convenient feature for those who have large houses or pets that shed a good amount.

When considering a robot vacuum that self-empty, keep in mind that they tend to be more expensive. This is primarily due the fact that they're equipped with an advanced base that serves a purpose in addition to charging your robot vacuum.

It seems obvious but it's important be aware that self-emptying bases can be quite tall. This means they could take up more space than other types of bases, which could be an issue in smaller spaces or for those with limited storage space. The design of some self-emptying robot vacuums could be an eyesore. It's not a major issue for the majority of people, but it is something to consider for those who are concerned about the aesthetics of their home. The good news is, the majority of robot vacuums that self-empty base look stunning. I've even had guests come up to me and compliment my awesome piece of technology. This alone may be enough to justify the extra cost for some.

2. Less Allergens

Allergens can cause problems in many households, especially in the case of someone who has allergies. Self-emptying vacuums can cut down on the amount dust, pet dander, and other allergens released into the air following vacuuming. You can be certain that all harmful particles will be captured in the filter and bag instead of being released into the air. This can be detrimental to those who suffer from allergies.

If you want to make your vacuum more allergy-friendly, you should consider getting one with HEPA filtering and a wide selection of attachments that can be used to clean various surfaces. These vacuums are perfect for removing pet fur, textured crumbs and other hard debris. This model has a 25 foot cord and reaches from floor to ceiling.

3. Easier Maintenance

It's a great option to let your robot vacuum empty the trash bin automatically to the docking station. It stops the bin from overfilling and can cause a clog and cause your robot to smell or cease to function. It is also more hygienic to use the robot than manually emptying the trash. People with allergies will benefit from this as it keeps allergens from getting back into the air. The Samsung Jet Bot+ has an enormous bin that can hold more debris than other self-emptying robot vacuums. This will help keep your floors clean longer. The bin is equipped with an integrated filter that collects pet hairs, dirt and other small particles. This makes it easier to clean, and less likely that the bin will fill up.

4. Less Time

Self-emptying robots are an exciting option for those who have a busy schedule. They allow you to complete more cleaning without having to be physically present. They also empty the dustbin at the end of every cleaning session. This reduces the amount of time you are occupied with chores and allows you to have more time to relax or perform other activities.

Regular robot vacuums typically come with a dustbin or small bin that is used to store the debris and dirt it collects after each cleaning cycle. The issue is that when you have to empty the bin you're also exposed to all the icky stuff that got kicked up into the air and you might need to wipe it down before making use of it again. In 2018 the first self-emptying robotic vacuum cleaners came out. When a self-emptying vaccum's bin is full, it returns to its dock and connects to the base station. There, the accumulated dust and debris is taken out of the small bin with a loud whoosh and then into a foot-high base canister, which is topped with the help of a paper vacuum bag. The vaccum then recharges its battery and then returns to its route that was programmed.

The bags for canisters are typically rated by the manufacturer to accommodate 30 to 60 days of debris. This means that you'll need empty the base station at least twice a month depending on how often you clean and how filthy your floors become. As opposed to emptying the dustbin of a regular robot vacuum after each cleaning session, this is an enormous time savings and it also means you're exposed to less allergens on an more frequent basis.

Another way a self-emptying robot vacuum will save you time is by avoiding the requirement to change the filter, something that most of us have had to do at least once or twice. It can also help prevent issues like overstuffing or clogs that can cause the performance of your robot to be impacted.
