Auto-empty docks aren’t necessary but they’re genuinely worth it if you have multiple pets. They eliminate the least pleasant part of owning a robot vacuum, though they do add $150+ to the price and take up more space.What should I consider when choosing a robot vacuum for a tiny apartment?

Storage space is critical in small apartments. Look at dock footprint size (the Eufy X10 is smallest), and consider how often you’ll empty the dustbin. A smaller space means more frequent emptying, so auto-empty becomes more appealing.
