Robot vacuum cleaners are great, but they\u2019re not self-sufficient, at least in the way we first hoped. However, thanks to the relatively new self-emptying technology found in leading robot vacuum models users very rarely have to lay hands or even eyes on their robots to make certain they\u2019re doing their jobs correctly.<\/p>\n

While self-emptying bases aren\u2019t all that new, many people have no clue what they are and how they work. Worry not, friends, for we\u2019ve come up with a short guide that\u2019ll cover every point you should know before purchasing or ignoring robot vacuum cleaners that come with self-emptying bases.<\/p>\n

What Is a Self-Emptying Base?<\/h2>\n

A self-emptying base, also known as a Clean Base or Self-Emptying Bin, is a vacuum cleaner that vacuums your robot vacuum cleaner. Confused yet?<\/p>\n

The base is actually the robot\u2019s charging station. It comes with a built-in motor that sucks the debris out of a compatible robot\u2019s dustbin, leaving the bin free of debris and your robot ready for subsequent vacuuming chores. <\/p>\n

Such systems are available with the Roomba j7+, Shark AI<\/a>, or even in low-cost models like the Neabot N1 Plus and the Uoni V980Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Self-emptying bases exist for one reason and one reason only: to make your life easier. Oftentimes, users find themselves emptying out the dustbins of their robots once or even multiple times a day, depending on how many furry four-legged friends you have around. <\/p>\n

A self-emptying base eliminates the need to check up on your robot every day\u2014instead, it collects all of the debris from multiple vacuuming sessions for later disposal. Self-emptying bases have a storage capacity of between one and two months\u2019 worth of debris.<\/p>\n
