An auto-empty station does one thing: after every run it sucks the robot's bin into a bag that lasts for weeks. That removes the daily chore that makes many people tire of a simple robot after a few weeks. Mopping stays manual: you remove, rinse and dry the pad yourself, or leave mopping out altogether.

This class makes most sense when vacuuming is what you want, for example in a house with a lot of carpet or with pets, and you do not want or cannot place a large all-in-one station. The stations are smaller and the robots cheaper. The order below is our score: lab tests first, then owners’ ratings and the maker’s facts. The price is today's lowest including delivery.

The three station types compared

With auto-empty station this page

The station: Charges the robot and after every run sucks its bin empty into a bag that lasts for weeks.
Left to you: Replacing the dust bag when it is full, and rinsing and drying the mop if the robot mops.
Median price today: 232 € · 27 models on sale
Dust bag: lasts 75 days by the makers' own figures (median of 23 models)

With all-in-one station

The station: Empties the bin, washes the mops with water, often hot, and dries them with warm air. Most also refill the robot's water tank.
Left to you: Filling the clean-water tank and emptying the dirty one every few weeks, and replacing the dust bag now and then.
Median price today: 596 € · 110 models on sale
Dust bag: lasts 90 days by the makers' own figures (median of 89 models)

Without station

The station: Charges the robot. It is no bigger than a book and fits anywhere.
Left to you: Emptying the bin, every few days in an average home, and rinsing the mop if the robot mops.
Median price today: 159 € · 34 models on sale
Dust bag: none: you empty the robot's bin yourself

The price is the median of today's lowest price per model, delivery included. How long a dust bag lasts is what the makers state themselves: new bags are the running cost of a station.
