We can only assume that most anyone shopping for a robot vacuum is in it for the convenience aspect. And a majority of those people probably wouldn’t complain about that convenience going a step further with self-emptying robot vacuum.
Automatic emptying happens each time the robot vacuum finishes cleaning and empties its onboard dust bin into a bigger canister inside the same dock it charges on. This relieves you of interacting with that ball of mystery debris that previously needed to be manually dumped into the trash. Depending on your cleaning routine and that particular dock’s capacity, you could be off the hook anyway from six weeks to six months.
Once reserved for pricey botvacs as a new-fangled feature five or so years ago, self-emptying is now a super common, potentially super affordable addition, made even more accessible during sales like Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
Below, we’re tracking the best self-emptying robot vacuum deals at Amazon currently live, organized around whether they also mop, and then listed in ascending order of price. Robot vacs from big brands like iRobot, Shark, Roborock, and Eufy have all made an appearance already, and we expect more as the sale runs its official course between March 20 and 25.

Why we like it
All of the deals in this list are good deals, but more than 50% off good? Only the Roborock Q7 Max+ can say that now that its regular sale price of $699.99 has a casual $280 coupon tacked on.
Of the handful of models Roborock released in 2022, the Q7 Max+ is the most elite of the hybrid series. It simultaneously vacuums with tenacious suction (4,200 Pa is pretty impressive under $500) and mops with water — except on carpet, where it will lift its mopping pads to keep soft floors from getting wet. Its dock holds the debris it auto-empties for seven weeks (or more) at a time. The Q7 Max+ has smart mapping to remember the layout of your home as well as virtual keep-out zones that you set in the app, cleaning for more than two hours before needing to return to charge.
