Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone: cyclonic bagless station
The OmniCyclone station separates dust by cyclone, so there are no bags to buy.
Check price on AmazonAffiliate link
Most self-emptying robots blow dust into a disposable bag in the base. That is tidy, but it means buying bags for as long as you own the robot. A bagless base collects dust in a bin you empty into the household rubbish instead. The trade-off is that you handle the bin, so look at how long it lasts between empties: the listings here range from 45 to 90 days, depending on home size and how often the robot runs. Also check how the base separates dust, whether a HEPA filter sits in the base, and whether the robot mops as well. This guide compares six bagless robots from Ecovacs, Shark, Proscenic and Lefant on base type, stated capacity, mopping, navigation and runtime.

The products in detail
No. 1 · Shark
Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1: 60-day HEPA bagless base
A bagless base with True HEPA filtration and a 60-day stated capacity, on a robot that vacuums and sonic mops in one pass. The most rounded bagless pick.
In its favour
- The bagless base holds up to 60 days of debris and needs no disposal bags.
- True HEPA in the base is stated to trap 99.97% of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns.
- Recharge and Resume sends it back to charge and then on to where it left off.
Good to know
- Sonic mopping uses a pad on the robot; the base does not wash it.
- The listing gives no Pa figure for suction power.
Listing title: Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop, Black/Brass, AV2613WA
No. 2 · ECOVACS
Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone: cyclonic bagless station

In its favour
- The OmniCyclone station separates dust by cyclone, so there are no bags to buy.
- OZMO Roller 3.0 refreshes itself with clean water while it mops.
- 22,000 Pa BLAST suction with 22 L/s airflow, the strongest in this guide.
Good to know

No. 3 · Proscenic
Proscenic Q20Plus: 4 L bagless base, up to 90 days

No. 4 · Lefant
Lefant M2 Pro: 90-day bagless with optional bag mode
A bagless base rated for 90 days that can also take a bag if you prefer, with a 300 ml electronic water tank for light mopping. Flexible and simple.
In its favour
- The base holds up to 90 days of debris bagless, and can switch to bagged mode.
- The 300 ml electronic water tank has 3 flow levels and avoids carpets when mopping.
- Auto-recharges and resumes, with multi-floor mapping for homes on several levels.
Good to know
- 6,000 Pa suction is modest next to the Ecovacs and Proscenic models.
- The 140 minute runtime is shorter than the Proscenic Q20Plus.

No. 5 · Shark
Shark Navigator: 60-day bagless base, vacuum only
A vacuum-only Shark with a 60-day bagless base and a self-cleaning brushroll. A plain choice for carpeted homes that do not need a mop.
In its favour

- The self-cleaning brushroll is designed to resist hair wrap.
- Recharge and resume lets it finish a whole-home clean after a top-up.
Good to know
- The spec table lists only 60 minutes of battery life.
- There is no mopping function, so hard floors only get vacuumed.

No. 6 · Shark
Shark Matrix RV2310AE: 45-day bagless, grid cleaning
