How Much Dirt Can A Robot Vacuum Hold?

With robot vacuums typically having 0.4/0.5 to 0.7 litre dust bin capacity, it means they need to be emptied fairly regularly and in some instances after every clean to keep the suction at its best.

The dust bin capacity of robot vacuums actually compares quite well to perhaps its closest alternative in terms of vacuum cleaners that people may consider – the cordless vacuum:

• Dyson V11 Absolute – 0.76L
• Dyson V10 Absolute – 0.76L
• Dyson V8 Animal – 0.54L
• Dyson V7 Absolute – 0.54L
• Shark Flexology IZ251UKT – 0.4L

Which Robot Vacuum Has The Largest Dustbin?

So, which robot vacuum has the largest dustbin capacity? Let’s take a look at some robot vacuums with some of the largest dustbin capacities around.

Neato D4 

The Neato D4 has one of the largest stated capacities that we’ve come across at 0.7litres. Packed with a range of features, the Neato D4 comes from a leading brand with a strong history in the robot vacuum market. The D4 comes with floor mapping as well as compatability with Amazon Alexa for voice activiation.

The Neato D4’s distinctive “D” shape is designed to mimic the corners of your home to make it easier to clean these areas. Poor corner cleaning is typically a complaint you see from a lot of users of robot vacuums so the Neato D’s shape is well thought through.

Though the capacity is at the high end of the spectrum there are some drawbacks noted by users including limited mapping storage with the capability to store only one floor at a time and cannot do inidivdual room cleaning. If you’re comfortable spending at this sort of price range and don’t mind giving up a little bit of storage capacity, you may also want to look at the Roborock S5 below.

Neato Botvac D304

At 0.7litre dust bin capacity, the Neato Botvac D304 is another high capacity robot vacuum from the renowned brand. As well as the distinctice D shape you also get a robot vacuum that will automatically return to its charging base when it runs low on battery juice and then pick up where it left over after its sufficiently recharged. This may be a good option if you want the high capacity offered by the Neato D4 but aren’t willing to spend as much on it. You also get the name cache of the Neato brand.

eufy RoboVac 15C MAX

The eufy RoboVac 15C MAX is our overall pick for the best budget robot vacuum cleaner and it comes with an impressive 0.6litre dust bin capacity. The 15C Max comes equipped with a number of highly desirable features that would typically be reserved for models that are much more expensive than the eufy RoboVac 15C Max. These include self cleaning schedules, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant activation and optimised suction power depending on floor type. With up to an impressive 2000Pa of suction power, the eufy RoboVac 15C MAX comes highly rated by users.

Eufy 11S RoboVac (Slim)

With a 0.6litre bin capacity the Eufy RoboVac 11S (Slim) combines ample robot vacuum dust bin capacity with a highly user rated model. Engineered with slimmness in mind at 2.85” the Eufy RoboVac 11S (Slim) provides excellent value for money from a brand with a growing reputation not just in the robot vacuum space but tech in general. As is often the case with Eufy, coming from the same team behind the excellent ANKER bluetooth speakers, you get features that would usually be reserved for much more expensive products at a reasonable price point. This includes automatic suction detection which increases suction power depending on the service the robot detects.

Roborock S6

The brilliantly user rated Roborock S6 is our pick for overall best robot vacuum cleaner and it comes with 0.48litre dust bin capacity. The Roborock S6 comes with a bunch of features including home mapping and Alexa and Google Assistant voice activiation you would typically find in the most expensive models on the market.

Roborock S5

Though at 0.48litre dust bin capacity the Roborock S5 does not have as much as the Neato or eufy models above, it still represents a good amount of storage. Even more importantly the Roborock S5 offers many of the same fantastic features as the S6 but being an earlier model, is now less expensive.
