The Clean Base dust bin boasts the ability to hold a copious amount of dirt, which means that the task of cleaning the floor is simplified further by the new Roomba with Automatic Dirt Disposal. Some of the other handy features of this next-gen robot vacuum include its ability to learn and adapt to a home's floor plan, or multiple floor plans, with Imprint Smart Mapping. With this feature, users are able to make the most of the [iRobot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobot-roomba-j7) [HOME](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dohyuk-joo) app or their voice to command the robot to clean a specific area of the home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Automatic Dirt Disposal:** The self-emptying feature in robotic vacuums simplifies the task of cleaning the floor. - **Imprint Smart Mapping:** Robotic vacuums that learn and adapt to a home's floor plan offer a more efficient cleaning experience. - **Voice Control:** Robotic vacuums controlled by voice commands provide a convenient and hands-free cleaning solution. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Cleaning Appliances:** The home cleaning appliances industry can explore opportunities in developing self-emptying robotic vacuums. - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry can integrate Imprint Smart Mapping into various devices for improved home automation. - **Voice Assistant Devices:** The voice assistant devices industry can collaborate with robotic vacuum manufacturers to enable voice control capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intelligent Navigation Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-q-revo.md) - [Automated Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-j9.md) - [Self-Emptying Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-rv1001ae-iq.md) - [Budget Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcompacting-dustbin.md) - [Debris-Compacting Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-205-dustcompactor-combo-robot.md) - [Robotic Vacuum Range Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobots-new-robovacs.md) - [Anti-Allergy Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qseries.md) - [Maintenance-Free Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-dyad-pro.md) - [Advanced 2-in-1 Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2in1-roomba.md)
