Angela from pcmag said that One of the best innovations in the robot vacuum space in recent years has been the development of models that can empty their own dustbins. Beyond offering greater convenience than traditional models, they significantly limit your exposure to dust, a big plus if you suffer from allergies.
Vacuums with this feature typically cost around $1,000, however, which is a lot more than most people are able or willing to spend. That makes the Roomba i3+ especially appealing, because at $599.99, it’s iRobot’s most affordable model with a self-emptying dustbin to date.
It lacks the smart mapping abilities of its pricier counterparts, so you can’t send it to specific rooms to clean. But depending on your needs, the trade-off might be well worth it for the truly hands-free cleaning it provides.
