Not sure what you need? Find out in 7 questions →#2An 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.

- Left to you
- Emptying the bin, every few days in an average home, and rinsing the mop if the robot mops.
- Median price today
- € 177 · 169 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.
