If you’re wondering whether self-emptying would be worth it for your robot vacuum purchase, just consider your entire justification for wanting a robot vacuum cleaner in the first place. If it’s to save time and effort on a chore you don’t feel like doing, you just answered your own question. Dustbin maintenance definitely counts as part of that chore, and future you will be thankful that you opted for a self-emptying robot vacuum on sale this October Prime Day.

Self-emptying robot vacuums aren’t nearly as tied to the size or budget constraints that they were when they were the fancy new thing in 2021. A ton of self-emptying docks are compact enough to work in a small apartment, and almost all of the best cheap robot vacuums under $300 or $400 are auto-emptying. During an Amazon sale like Prime Big Deal Days, the number of options in any price range grows. I’m already seeing a handful of vacuums beating their own prices from Prime Day in July.
If you do have floor space or extra cash to spare, the ultimate auto-empty dock to eye would be one that also auto-washes and dries the robot vac’s mopping pads. This is a main feature on high-end robot vacuum and mop combos near $1,000, but can be found for as low as $399.99 on sale.
I’m tracking the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuums ahead of and throughout October Prime Day. If a self-empty dock is also a mop washing station for a robot vacuum that mops, that’ll also be pointed out below.

This Roborock Qrevo model is the updated version of the Roborock Qrevo S: Mashable readers’ most purchased robot vacuum during Cyber Monday 2024. Compared to the Qrevo S, the Qrevo with no S has stronger suction power (8,000 Pa versus 6,000 Pa) and meets my minimum number for sufficient pet hair pickup for one pet. Despite being the stronger model, the Qrevo on sale for October Prime Day is $60 cheaper than the weaker model.
Other advanced features squeezed into this $399.99 package include self-washing and -drying mopping pads and small obstacle avoidance. It’s easily one of the best bangs for your buck that you’ll find before Black Friday.

I’ve been saying it for months: The 3i G10+ is the best robot vacuum under $500, but most people have never heard of it. This up-and-coming model rocked in more ways than one during my testing, but its approach to automatic emptying is the most relevant here. There’s no self-emptying dock here at all — rather, the 3i G10+ compacts debris within the robot vacuum body itself. You’re still off duty from dealing with the dust bin for around two months or so.

3i also packed a few other high-end features into this budget vacuum: namely small obstacle avoidance and, even rarer in this price range, a livestream pet camera. And it’s all contained in a compact design that can be stored under a TV stand.
