Robot vacuums are great for general, automated cleaning. But, they don't get into every corner. bagless floor cleaners self-emptying bases solve this problem.

These bases are intelligent and can contain weeks worth of dirt and dust and debris, so you won't have to think about emptying your robot. They can warn you when full.

Eureka E10S

The E10S is a great choice for homeowners who wish to reduce time while still tackling the daily accumulation of dirt, pet hair, and other debris. The robot vacuums and mop and allows homeowners to create cleaning schedules, map levels and designate zones and rooms. It also comes with a powerful 4,000Pa vacuum and mop motors, ensuring an efficient job even on more difficult flooring types. It's a bagless innovative cleaner vacuum cleaner which reduces the requirement for replacement bags and facilitates maintenance. The clear debris container lets users know the extent of its use, and requires emptying.

Another great feature is the base station of the E10S that has advanced multi-cyclonic separation technology that facilitates efficient debris collection and prevents premature filter clogging. This makes it more durable than other robot vacuums which rely on disposable bags and can leave behind a mess wherever the base is located. This unique feature, when combined with the E10S's large 1.5L transparent debris bin, enables users to quickly empty the cleaner and ensure that the system is running smoothly.

Unlike some of the less-capable models that rely on random bounce-and-turn techniques for navigation, the E10S uses LiDAR to map out your surroundings in near-real-time. This allows it to recognize the obstacles, like walls and furniture, and create a smart self-navigating route which results in a more efficient clean. This is even more important for larger homes with multiple rooms since the E10S will be able to automatically avoid re-cleaning areas that it has already visited.

The Eureka app provides the highest degree of functionality as well as simple user interface. In addition to creating and storing maps, it lets you name rooms, as well as define zones that are no-go or no-mop to ensure that the cleaner doesn't accidentally head upstairs or into the kitchen. You can drive the bot manually and set up cleaning schedules.

Set up is relatively simple with only a few steps to get the E10S up and running. It comes with a dock for charging and a tutorial to help new users. With a few minor glitches the E10S is a fantastic addition to any home and will save time and effort while keeping the floors spotless.

The SwitchBot Mini K10+

The SwitchBot Mini is a small powerful vacuum cleaner that comes with many features. It's ideal for homes and apartments with small spaces. Its surprisingly powerful cleaning performance was rewarded with high scores in our debris removal, edge and crevice cleaning tests. We also discovered its navigation and mapping capabilities to be outstanding and it was able to avoid obstacles when moving furniture.

This robotic vacuum and mop is one of only a few in its class that uses LiDAR SLAM. This allows it to create detailed maps of the rooms in your home. It also boasts 10 flagship level sensors, which means it can navigate even the most confined spaces. It's extremely efficient and requires very little energy despite its smart capabilities.

The application that controls the robot is well-designed and easy to use, with simple interface. The main screen shows basic information like the status of the dust bin, filter and mop pad plate. You can also set cleaning modes and create highly customized schedules and create reports within the app.

You can also create no-go zones to prevent the robot from entering certain areas of your home. This is a great way to keep your robot away from areas that are not safe for it. For instance the pet area, or the kitchen. The app will also help you keep track of your battery, ensuring it remains fully charged for optimal operation.

Once the robot has finished cleaning, it returns automatically to its Station for charging. The station can be moved from room to room when required, however it can be somewhat loud when sucking in what was collected and returning to the dock for charging.

There's a physical set-up required when you first take the K10+ out of its box and remove any foam padding from gaps and crevices. It is also recommended to place the machine near an outlet for power. To connect to the app, you'll require an excellent WiFi signal. The included accessories include a spare filter along with a side brush and a set of disposable mop pads. These accessories are great for the robot because they provide extra convenience and reduce time spent changing supplies.

The Shark IQ XL

The Shark IQ XL is a intelligent robot that comes with many features. It's also fairly well-built and is priced at less than $400. It's a superior overall robot than the eufy RoboVac G30, feels nicer to use, and delivers superior performance on bare floors and carpets that have high and low piles. It also does a better job getting around obstacles such as electrical cords.

Its battery performance is superb that it can run for over an hour on its high-suction mode, 'Max. Its large bagless innovative cleaner station is easy to clean. Simply remove the side bin, and empty it into the trashcan. There is no need for cleaning bags or extra effort. And the IQ's companion app allows you to send it to specific rooms, restart a session from where it left off when it's required to charge a portion of the way through, and plan multiple cleaning sessions over the course of a day if you need to.

When we tested the IQ XL, it did great on hard floors but was unable to handle carpets with medium piles with larger crumbs, and occasionally pushing debris into corners where it wasn't meant to be. The side brush of the robot can sometimes not be able to collect dirt or flick it away. It also navigates in straight lines instead of zigzagging like more advanced robots.

You can create no-go zones on the map of the IQ XL app by drawing boundary rectangles. It can be difficult to adjust these boxes, and we'd prefer to use virtual walls that are easier to draw.

The IQ XL also has a feature we found to be extremely useful: the Ultra-Clean Mode. This mode doubles the robot’s suction power and makes use of its brushes to sweep the floor in a crosshatch pattern. This is particularly beneficial for areas that are heavily trafficked, but we're disappointed that it's not offered on all current models. You can set a timer which will automatically trigger an Ultra-Clean cycle for any room in your home.

The Shark Matrix

Although it doesn't have the same feature set as the iRobot Roomba lineup, Shark's ION-series robot vacuums punch above their weight with LIDAR mapping capability and an auto-emptying base station. However the Matrix takes things to the next level by providing 2-in-1 vacuuming and mopping.

The Matrix like all robotic vacuums can be used to clean your floors with an upright that is traditional or equipped with a power pad that can agitate the floor and scrub it for a more thorough clean. Alternatively, it can be used in a vacuum/mop mode that uses the same cleaning pad to simultaneously clean your floors and get rid of any stubborn dirt and stains. The matrix's powerful vacuuming mode is particularly effective on carpets. It utilizes an array of grids for multiple passes to remove dirt and debris, which leads to 30% more stain removal than Roomba robots.

The Matrix is also much simpler to use than the modern Roomba. Shark's app lets you create a spot-cleaning area by moving a rectangle on the designated tab. Roomba users must manually identify and create the cleaning zone. Plus the Matrix has an actual power button should you'd like to start a clean without opening the app.

The Matrix also comes with other features that improve the quality of life, including three suction power settings (normal, Eco and high-power "Max") and a recharge/resume feature that allows it pick up right where it left off if it needs to return to its dock. The battery life is a bit longer than that of the AI Ultra, and its overall performance for debris pickup was excellent across a range of different types of surfaces.

The only drawbacks to the Matrix are that it drains its battery faster than other models, and its cleaning capabilities for pet hair are a little inconsistent. The Matrix is still a good option for most homes and it improves on the AI Ultra in a few significant ways. It's built better, recharges quicker, and picks up more debris on low-pile flooring. Plus, its 'Eco' and Max modes are a great upgrade from the AI Ultra's 'Normal' mode.
