The best robot vacuum with an auto-empty station in 2026 in Germany

83 models with an auto-empty station: the station empties the bin, you look after the mop. Ranked by our score from test-site results and owners’ ratings, with today’s lowest price.

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: test-site results first, then owners’ ratings and the maker’s facts. The price is today's lowest including delivery.
