Popular self-emptying Shark with a 60-day bagless base, Matrix Clean and a self-cleaning brushroll for pet hair.
Verdict: One of the most-owned self-emptying vacuums, and a good pick for pet hair on carpet. No mopping.
Self-emptying Roborock with sonic VibraRise 2.0 mopping, 10,000 Pa suction and 70 days of dock capacity.
Verdict: The best mopping you'll get under $300, with self-emptying included. You still wash the mop pad yourself.
