Self-Cleaning Robotic Vacuums

The Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty Unloads What It Collects at a Base

— September 20, 2019 — Art & Design
The task of emptying a vacuum cleaner bag can sometimes make even more of a mess but the newly introduced Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty automates the task of emptying what it collects. As well as boasting features like room-by-room navigation and self-cleaning brushroll, the new robotic vacuum empties itself when it returns to its dock. Once the robot has finished a cleaning session, it makes its way back to the bagless base and uses a self-emptying feature so that it is ready to clean the next time.

The Self-Empty Base that pairs with the Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty is capable of holding about a month's worth of debris, which makes the chore of keeping the home clean more hands-off than ever before.
