6 Best Cordless Vacuums with Auto Empty of 2025

Effortless maintenance meets elite performance in the Roborock H60 Hub Pro—a cordless stick vacuum that redefines convenience for busy households. With 170AW of suction power, it effortlessly lifts pet hair, fine dust, and embedded debris from carpets and hard floors alike, while its anti-tangle shark tooth roller brush ensures zero hair wrap, a godsend for pet owners. The 80-minute runtime and 3L auto-empty dock make it a powerhouse duo: clean large homes without recharging, and forget manual dustbin emptying for up to 100 days—a true hands-free experience few rivals match.

In real-world testing, the H60 excels across surfaces. On plush carpets, it pulls up embedded fur in a single pass, and on hardwood, the green LED headlight reveals dust under furniture that other vacuums miss. The 9-cone cyclone system maintains suction over time, and the 5-stage filtration traps 99.95% of particles, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. However, while the battery is detachable, the charging dock doesn’t support rapid recharge, meaning full top-ups take over 4 hours—slightly inconvenient for back-to-back cleaning.

Compared to the Eureka Stylus Elite, the H60 delivers longer runtime, stronger suction, and superior dust visibility, justifying its premium positioning. It’s best suited for larger homes with pets and allergy concerns, where consistent, powerful cleaning with minimal upkeep is non-negotiable. While the Shark IP3253 offers deeper carpet cleaning, the Roborock wins on daily usability and automation, offering a more refined balance of smart features, filtration, and long-term convenience.

The ultra-lightweight AKAVAC cordless vacuum punches above its weight, delivering 45KPA suction in a featherlight 3.8-pound body—the easiest to maneuver in tight spaces and overhead cleaning. Designed for users who prioritize agility, it features an auto-empty 2.5L dust base that seals away allergens without contact, making it a standout for those with mobility issues or dust sensitivities. Its dual-power mode system intelligently balances runtime and suction, offering 45 minutes in extended mode and 18 minutes of max power for spot cleaning—perfect for quick daily touch-ups.

During testing, the AKAVAC handled hard floors and low-pile rugs with ease, efficiently sucking up cereal crumbs and pet hair. The five-stage sealed HEPA filtration captured 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns, outperforming many in its class in air quality retention. However, on high-pile carpets, it struggled to extract deeply embedded dirt, and the lack of a lay-flat design limited under-furniture reach. The LED touch screen is sleek and intuitive, but the vacuum occasionally misreads battery levels during rapid mode switching.

When stacked against the DREAME Z10-W, the AKAVAC wins on weight and ease of use, but lags in carpet performance and runtime. It’s ideal for apartments, small homes, or elderly users who value lightweight operation and hands-free emptying over raw cleaning power. While the Shark IP3253 dominates in deep carpet cleaning, the AKAVAC offers better maneuverability and filtration efficiency, making it a smarter pick for light-duty, health-conscious households.

Don’t let the budget-friendly price fool you—the Eureka Stylus Elite packs 350W BLDC motor power and 5-layer HEPA filtration into a no-frills package that handles pet hair and all floor types with surprising competence. It’s the most affordable auto-empty model in this lineup, making it the gateway vacuum for pet owners stepping into hands-free cleaning. The 3L Clean Station seals away dust for weeks, and the anti-tangle brushroll resists hair wrap, drastically reducing maintenance for long-haired pets.

In action, the Eureka cleared hard floors and medium-pile rugs efficiently, though it required multiple passes on high-pile carpet to match rivals. With 60 minutes of max runtime and three cleaning modes, it covers medium-sized homes effectively. The removable battery is a rare plus at this price, allowing for spare battery upgrades. However, the suction (around 120AW) feels weaker than premium models, and the dustbin is smaller, requiring more frequent auto-empty cycles despite the large base bag.

Against the UWANT V500, the Eureka trades advanced features for simplicity and cost savings—no LED lights, no app, no dust-scraping tech, but still delivers core functionality. It’s perfect for first-time auto-empty users, renters, or pet owners on a tight budget. While the Roborock H60 offers longer runtime and smarter features, the Eureka proves you don’t need to overspend for reliable, automated pet hair cleanup—a solid entry point with real staying power.

Built for long-term, set-it-and-forget-it cleaning, the DREAME Z10-W shines with a 90-day hands-free auto-empty base—one of the longest intervals in its class. Its 20KPa suction may not top the charts, but it’s more than enough for daily debris, crumbs, and pet hair on both carpets and hardwood. The tangle-free brush and lay-flat design let it glide under beds and sofas effortlessly, eliminating the need to drag furniture—a game-changer for deep cleaning without the hassle.

Real-world tests show the Z10-W handles hard floors and low-to-medium carpets well, with consistent suction and effective edge cleaning. The 60-minute runtime is adequate for most homes, and the 5-stage HEPA system captures 99.97% of allergens, making it suitable for sensitive users. However, in MAX mode, runtime drops sharply to under 20 minutes, and the 2.5L dust bag, while large, fills faster with fine dust than advertised. The LED headlight and screen add usability, but the interface feels less refined than Roborock’s.

Compared to the Shark IP3253, the DREAME offers similar automation at a lower cost, but lacks intelligent dirt detection and deep carpet performance. It’s best for homeowners who want minimal maintenance and reliable daily cleaning without premium pricing. While the AKAVAC is lighter, the DREAME delivers better under-furniture access and longer emptying intervals, making it a smarter choice for hands-off, whole-home upkeep over time.

The UWANT V500 takes filtration and dust disposal to another level with 7-layer HEPA filtration and an innovative auto dust scrap system—a rare feature that actively wipes the dust cup clean upon docking, ensuring zero residue buildup. With 50,000Pa of suction, it rivals premium models in raw power, delivering deep-cleaning performance on carpets and hard floors alike. The green LED dust detection illuminates invisible particles, while the V-shaped anti-tangle brush keeps pet hair from wrapping—a must for multi-pet homes.

In performance, the UWANT cleared thick carpet debris in two passes and handled hardwood with laser-like precision. The 3-in-1 base—charging, storing, and self-emptying—keeps everything organized, and the 60-minute runtime is solid for its class. However, battery charging takes 3 hours, longer than most, and the 1.8L dust bag capacity means more frequent replacements than 3L competitors. While the suction is strong, noise levels spike in Boost mode, making it less ideal for quiet environments.

Against the Eureka Stylus Elite, the UWANT offers superior filtration, stronger suction, and smarter auto-cleaning, justifying its higher price. It’s ideal for allergy-prone homes and pet owners who demand maximum air purity and minimal maintenance. While the Roborock H60 has longer runtime, the UWANT wins in filtration depth and dust-scraping automation, offering a more hygienic, health-focused clean that’s hard to beat.

Engineered for pet owners who demand deep cleaning, the Shark PowerDetect Pet Plus delivers the best debris cleaning of any cordless vacuum, thanks to 4X intelligent detection technologies that sense dirt, edges, carpet density, and cleaning direction—then automatically boost suction where needed. With up to 70 minutes of runtime and a MultiFLEX wand that bends for under-furniture reach, it tackles pet messes others miss, from kibble under the couch to dander in carpet fibers.

On thick carpets, it outperformed every model here, lifting deeply embedded fur with its dual brushrolls and PowerDetect suction. The auto-empty base seals away dirt for 45 days and includes an odor neutralizer puck to combat pet smells—a thoughtful touch. The FurFins tool is excellent for couches and car seats. However, the dustbin is small, triggering frequent auto-empty cycles, and the unit feels top-heavy when extended, making overhead use tiring.

Compared to the Roborock H60, the Shark offers superior deep-cleaning intelligence and pet-specific tools, but lacks the longer auto-empty interval and LED dust visibility. It’s the top pick for homes with multiple pets and high shedding, where cleaning performance trumps convenience. While the DREAME Z10-W lasts longer between emptying, the Shark delivers unmatched carpet agitation and reactive power, making it the most effective pet hair destroyer in the group.
