Most robot vacuums require you to empty them regularly from their dust bins, a laborious task that can take a long time and diminishes the hands-off aspect of these devices.

This can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from asthma or allergies.
It doesn't matter whether you prefer a system that automatically empties itself or not. You should choose one with a large container that can hold plenty of debris before needing to be emptied. You should also think about whether you'd prefer a bagged or a bagless system.
