No. Both the Roomba 694 and Eufy L35 require manual dustbin emptying. Self-emptying bases are available on higher-tier models like the Roomba i3+ and Eufy X10 Pro Omni, but those start at $300+.Which is better for a small apartment?

The Eufy L35 is better for most apartments. Its systematic LiDAR navigation cleans efficiently without bouncing around, its slim 2.85" profile fits under most furniture, and the larger 0.6L bin means less frequent emptying. The Roomba 694 works fine too — especially in studio apartments — but the random pattern wastes time and battery in spaces with furniture obstacles.
