This line of machines is ideal for allergy sufferers, homes with pets and/or children, and, in general, for all those looking to combine effectiveness and efficiency with maximum comfort.

As the list of models with this feature is increasing, at the end of the article you can see all stick vacuum cleaners with automatic emptying station that we have analyzed in My Vacuum Cleaner, so you can find the one that best suits you.

Stick vacuum cleaners with self-emptying: combining advantages

The performance of stick vacuum cleaners has improved a lot in recent years.. The first models were low-power devices with quite limited autonomy, which rather than vacuuming, swept or simply collected dust thanks to a rotating roller in which it often got tangled or stuck.

The small and powerful digital brushless motors (brushless) were taking over, and the launch in 2018 of the Dyson V10 meant a before and after, since it was so powerful that the British firm announced that it would stop manufacturing corded vacuum cleaners.

After the European brand, other alternatives equipped with very powerful engines began to appear, and Broom vacuum cleaners replaced the corded sled models in many homes, due to their convenience in handling and when starting them up..

However, many users still combine the use of both devices, for several reasons:

The first two factors have been resolved, especially in the mid- and high-range models., and now stick vacuum cleaners with automatic emptying are coming to the market, to solve the other two problems.

With the self-emptying system, this new generation of brooms saves us from having to worry about dirt for weeks, offering greater comfort and hygiene.

Next, we will see some models of self-emptying brooms, detailing the most important characteristics and how they respond to these challenges and others that may occur when cleaning the house and the interior of the vehicle.

Stick vacuum cleaners with automatic emptying: the models analyzed

The devices included in this comparison are the LG CordZero All-in-One, Proscenic DustZero S3, Samsung Bespoke Jet and Ultenic FS1; If you wish, you can see the detailed analysis of each one, by pressing the corresponding button.

automatic emptying

We will begin this comparative analysis with the characteristic that distinguishes this class of devices from most of the existing stick vacuum cleaners on the market, the self-emptying of its internal tank.

This system is something that is becoming popular in another segment of cleaning, with the dissemination of self-emptying robots, where there is a varied range of devices, for all tastes and pockets.

How self-emptying works

The technology used is similar in both cases: The self-emptying base is a kind of vacuum cleaner, with a bag inside. When the device is placed on the base, the dirt contained in its tank is absorbed into this bag; In fact, for a few seconds we will hear a noise similar to that of a conventional vacuum cleaner.

The bags have a capacity several times greater than that of the tank, which, together with the compaction inside, allows you to use them regularly for several months before changing them.

Furthermore, both placement and removal are simple and hygienic, with the classic self-closing system to avoid clouds of dust and secondary contamination, so It is an ideal system for people with allergies or for those who seek maximum cleanliness of the air they breathe..

The capacity of the bags varies between the 2 liters of the Samsung Bespoke Jet to the 3 liters offered by the Proscenic DustZero and the Ultenic FS1, with the LG CordZero All-in-One remaining in an intermediate position., with 2,5 liters, which translates into about 2-3 months of duration (logically, depending on the use given to it and the specific characteristics of the home).

In addition, The self-emptying bases themselves have very effective filtering and germ elimination systems.: The LG, Ultenic and Proscenic include UV-C sterilization, while the Samsung opts for bags with antibacterial coating.

In the case of the LG CordZero, we must also highlight its Kompressor technology, which incorporates a lever to compress dirt in the internal tank. of the device, which not only enables a greater effective capacity (which is multiplied by 2,4 to exceed one liter), but also helps emptying, pushing down dirt and hair that may remain coiled inside the tank.

How it is combined with filtering

This new generation of devices are designed to obtain extraordinary cleaning not only of surfaces, but also of the environment., so, as it could not be otherwise, they also have a fantastic internal filtering system.

The effectiveness of these 4 devices is very high, achieving an efficiency in trapping microparticles of dust, mites, pollen and other contaminants between 99,97% and 99,99% (equivalent to high efficiency HEPA H13), with, in the case of Samsung and LG, the endorsement of prestigious institutions, such as Allergy UK (British Allergy Foundation).

Suction power

Of course, A fundamental aspect of a vacuum cleaner is that it has a high absorption capacity, and these 4 models are very powerful.

Power is usually expressed in Pascals (Pa) or air watts (aW).. As a guide, many corded vacuum cleaners move between 17.000 and 21.000 Pa, or between 150 and 180 aW.

As usual, They have several power levels (in the case of the Proscenic and Ultenic, even an automatic mode, which increases suction when placed on a carpet), so we can adapt the absorption depending on the circumstances.

Autonomy

Autonomy is an important aspect when buying a cordless vacuum cleaner. All models in this comparison reach a maximum working time of 60 minutes, which is a good figure, considering how quickly it cleans with such a device, but there are some nuances.

As usual, it is worth remembering that battery life depends on how you use it.: whether it is with a motorized accessory or not (the motorized one will consume more), if hard floors or carpets are cleaned (more consumption in the latter) and the selected power.

In turbo mode, the duration is between 7 and 10 minutes; It must be taken into account that in practice, we will only need to use this maximum power occasionally, but it is worth noting; At medium power, they are somewhere in between, between 25 and 30 minutes.

It should also be noted that The LG CordZero All-in-One includes two batteries as standard, which can be charged simultaneously, so it is capable of reaching 120 minutes.

In the case of the Samsung Bespoke, there are 3 versions (Complete, Complete Extra and Pro Extra), in 3 colors, green, blue and beige, and in the case of the first two, they also include 2 batteries as standard.

For its part, the Ultenic FS1 only comes with one battery as standard, but the base has space to charge two, so you can purchase another one additionally to take advantage of this advantage.

Equipment

All models in this comparison include a multifunction roller, suitable for cleaning both hard floors and rugs and carpets, and accessories for cleaning other corners of the house or inside the car, such as a hard tube or with a small brush of bristles.

All four come equipped with a telescopic tube, which allows the length to be adapted to accommodate the height of the user and to facilitate cleaning in complex areas, for example, on stairs.

The most equipped are the highest priced ones, the LG and the Samsung, which in both cases also include a soft brush, especially for cleaning hard floors, a practical mini motorized brush to thoroughly clean upholstery and in the case of the Samsung Bespoke, a flexible elbow to facilitate cleaning hard-to-reach areas.

In addition, both the LG and the Samsung (in the blue Pro Extra version) also include a scrubbing head, with rotating mops, which provides a more complete cleaning with a single device.

The Proscenic and Ultenic include LED lights, while the two Korean models do not have them.

Conclusions

Stick vacuum cleaners with automatic emptying combine effectiveness and efficiency in cleaning with maximum comfort and hygiene, obtaining not only cleaner surfaces, but a purer environment, thanks to the use of bags to store dust, and the sensational filtering system, both from the vacuum cleaner itself and from the base.

It is an ideal system for allergy sufferers and for those who want to avoid contact with dust, as well as for "busy" homes with pets and/or small children., since they provide great effectiveness in cleaning in a simple way, reduce maintenance and provide an excellent user experience, allowing the user to save time, which they can dedicate to other things.

The most equipped models include accessories such as the mini turbo brush, ideal for thoroughly cleaning mattresses, sofas, armchairs, cushions, pillows and other upholstered surfaces.

Also in the case of LG and Samsung, we can have 2 batteries as standard to multiply the autonomy, and a scrubbing head which increases the versatility of the device and allows you to obtain a more complete cleaning of the home with a single device.

In both cases, the scrubbing head has two rotating mops, which combine the cleaning effectiveness of water with the descaling action of its rotating movement to remove stains more effectively.

All four devices offer high overall performance, and When it comes to price level, there are two groups: on the one hand, the Ultenic and the Proscenic, which are, at the time of making this comparison, between 400 and 450 euros, and on the other hand, the models from the most prestigious brands, LG and Samsung, which clearly exceed those figures .

Bonus: a stick vacuum cleaner with a bag

In addition to the self-emptying brooms that are part of this review, we did not want to fail to highlight a model that has been a pioneer in the inclusion of bags in this segment, Robo Rock H7.

In this case, the device from the well-known firm, which in addition to its own brand, also manufactures for Xiaomi, does not have an automatic emptying base, but The design of its tank allows it to be used without a bag, like any other broom, or with a bag inside.

The Roborock H7 bags are triple-layered and antibacterial, offer a capacity of 500 milliliters, and also provide great comfort and hygiene, since we can remove them easily, without clouds of dust or secondary contamination; However, due to its smaller size, we are forced to do it more frequently than in models with a self-emptying base.

In terms of performance, the Roborock H7 is also a high-performance broom., with 160 aW of power, up to 90 minutes of autonomy, and very complete equipment, which includes a hard nozzle, small bristle brush, mini turbo brush and flexible tube, with a filtering system that traps 99,99% of microparticles allergenic, tested by the prestigious independent German institute TÜV Rheinland.
