What is a robot vacuum cleaner with an emptying station?

A robot vacuum cleaner with an emptying station is a smart cleaning solution that automatically empties itself into a larger collection station. Where traditional robot vacuum cleaners often have a full dustbin after one or two cleaning rounds, a model with an emptying station can clean for weeks without you having to intervene. The station contains a dust bag that on average only needs to be emptied or replaced after 30 to 60 days.

This is ideal for families with children, people with busy schedules, and especially for people with allergies. Because you hardly come into contact with dust and dirt, the house not only becomes cleaner, but also healthier.

More and more consumers are not only looking for a robot vacuum cleaner, but also for a robot vacuum cleaner with a mopping function and an emptying station. This is the ultimate combination for a clean home without effort.

At Zoef Robot, we offer exactly this:

• The Willem 2.0, with rotating mops and the option for an emptying station and a self-cleaning station.
  
• The Bep 5.0, specially developed for pet hair, which comes standard with a mopping system and an emptying station.
  

This allows you not only to vacuum without a second thought, but also to mop with the convenience of automatic cleaning.

Yes! Both the Willem 2.0 and the Bep 5.0 can vacuum and mop simultaneously. This saves you time and cleans your floor in one go.

Choosing the right robot vacuum cleaner can be a challenge, especially since every home, person, and situation is unique.

Therefore, it is important to find a robot vacuum cleaner that perfectly matches your specific needs and living situation.

3. Pets: If you have pets, it is important to choose a robot vacuum cleaner that can handle hair and extra dirt well. Many models are equipped with special brushes and powerful suction to thoroughly remove pet hair.
   
4. Allergies and dust sensitivity: Do you suffer from allergies? Then it is important to choose a robot vacuum cleaner with a high-quality filter system, such as a HEPA filter, to effectively filter dust and allergens from the air.

The self-cleaning station of the Zoef Willem 2.0 is a unique feature that few other brands offer. This station goes beyond just emptying the dustbin.

When the Willem 2.0 finishes mopping, it automatically returns to its station. There, the mop pads are thoroughly rinsed and cleaned with clean water. The dirty water is collected separately, so you can easily dispose of it. This way, you don't have to wash out dirty cloths after every cleaning session.

This system not only provides convenience but also hygiene. The robot always starts the next cleaning round with clean mop pads, which visibly improves the result. Especially for families with children or pets, this is a valuable addition: you are assured of a fresh floor without extra effort.

With the self-cleaning station, the Willem 2.0 takes the concept of "smart cleaning" to a whole new level.

• More hygienic: dust and allergens are sealed in a dust bag.
  
• Less maintenance: weeks of cleaning without intervention.
  
• Suitable for large homes: the robot can clean multiple rounds in a row.
  
• Combination with mopping: the latest models, such as Willem 2.0 and Bep 5.0, can vacuum and mop and empty themselves.
  

This way, cleaning truly becomes something you never have to think about again.

That depends on the size of your household and the amount of dirt, but on average you only need to empty the emptying station once every 4 to 6 weeks. For small households or people without pets, this can even be up to 8 weeks.

Emptying itself is simple: you replace the dust bag with one action. Because dirt ends up directly sealed in a bag, no dust is released into the air. This also makes the system ideal for people with allergies.

• Zoef Willem 2.0: ideal if you are looking for versatility and luxury. With rotating mops, an emptying station, and even a self-cleaning station, this is the most complete model.
  
• Zoef Bep 5.0: the best choice for homes with pets. This robot is optimized for hair and stains, and comes standard with a mopping system and emptying station.
  

Whichever choice you make: both models offer convenience, hygiene, and smart technology that will significantly lighten your household chores.

Robot vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly smart and efficient, but one of the most important components remains, of course: the suction method. Because how exactly does a robot vacuum cleaner ensure that dust, dirt, and hairs effectively disappear from your floor? In this article, we explain which suction methods robot vacuum cleaners use and what the differences are.

🌀 1. Direct suction

The simplest and quietest method is direct suction. Here, dirt is sucked up directly through a suction nozzle, without a rotating brush. This method is especially effective on:

• Hard floors such as laminate, parquet, or tiles
• Smaller spaces with few obstacles
• Households without a lot of pet hair

Advantages of direct suction, such as the Bep 5.0 robot vacuum cleaner has, are less wear and tear and fewer tangled hairs, but on carpet or with coarser dirt, this method is often slightly less powerful.

🧹 2. Central brush with suction power

Many robot vacuum cleaners use a central rotating brush, often in combination with a suction opening. This brush:

• Lifts dirt from carpet
• Sweeps dust and crumbs towards the suction nozzle
• Is effective against pet hair

This suction method is more versatile and powerful, making it suitable for both hard floors and (low-pile) carpet. For households with pets, this is often the best choice.

🌀 3. Turbo brush + side brushes

In more advanced models, the central brush is supported by:

• Turbo brushes: extra powerful, for deeper cleaning
  
• Side brushes: sweep dirt from corners and along baseboards inwards

This combination ensures that no speck of dust is missed, even in hard-to-reach places. This method is used in the Jannie and Willem robot vacuum cleaners.

Suction method + mopping function

Our robot vacuum cleaners can also vacuum with mopping at the same time. Here, the robot first sucks up the dirt, after which a damp cloth is pulled over the floor for an extra fresh finish. These models are ideal for hard floors and are becoming increasingly popular in modern households.

Conclusion: robot vacuum cleaners have smart and efficient suction methods

Whether you choose a model with direct suction, a powerful brush roll, or a combination with a mopping function — Zoef Robot's robot vacuum cleaners are designed to clean your floors thoroughly and autonomously. Thanks to smart sensors and powerful motors, many models even automatically adjust the suction power to the type of floor.

The emptying station of a robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a powerful motor that automatically sucks dirt and dust from the robot's dustbin. This is collected in a larger dust bag of the station.

• On average, such a dust bag lasts 4 to 8 weeks, depending on usage and the amount of dirt in the house.
  
• Emptying the station is easy: you replace the bag with one action, without coming into contact with dust.
  
• Some stations, such as the self-cleaning station of the Willem 2.0, even go a step further by automatically cleaning the mop pads as well.

A robot vacuum cleaner with an emptying station is a smart investment for various target groups:

• Families – fewer household chores, more time for each other.
  
• Pet owners – pet hair and dirt are efficiently vacuumed and stored.
  
• People with allergies – because dust particles are immediately sealed in a bag, there is less exposure to allergens.
  
• 
  Busy professionals – you hardly need to do any maintenance, the robot keeps your home clean independently.

1. Less maintenance – You no longer have to empty the robot's dustbin daily or weekly.
   
2. More hygienic – The dirt is sealed in a dust bag, preventing dust particles and allergens from re-entering the air.
   
3. Always ready for use – The robot can clean again immediately because the dustbin never overflows.
   
4. Suitable for larger homes – An emptying station makes it possible to clean larger areas consecutively without interruptions.
   
5. Combination with mopping – Modern models, such as the Zoef Willem 2.0 and Zoef Bep 5.0, combine vacuuming with mopping and an emptying station, so floors are clean and fresh in one go.
   

A robot vacuum cleaner with an emptying station is a smart vacuum cleaner that not only drives independently through your house to vacuum, but also automatically empties its own dustbin. This happens in a special emptying station that, in addition to a charging function, also serves as a collection point for dirt. The advantage is great: you no longer have to empty the robot's dustbin daily or weekly. The station uses a dust bag that lasts an average of 30 to 60 days, depending on use.

This is ideal, especially for people with allergies or pets. You hardly have to come into contact with dust or hair. Moreover, the robot is always ready for use, because the dustbin never overflows. At Zoef Robot you will find two top models, the Willem 2.0 and the Bep 5.0, both of which can be equipped with an emptying station.

The Willem 2.0 is Zoef Robot's most versatile robot vacuum cleaner. It is available in different versions: with a mopping system, with a mopping system and an emptying station, or even with a mopping system, an emptying station, and a self-cleaning station. Its unique feature is the presence of rotating mopping pads, which actively scrub and thus tackle stubborn dirt.

The Bep 5.0 has been specially developed for homes with pets. This robot has strong suction power and brushes that handle pet hair better, without it getting tangled. The Bep 5.0 comes standard with a mopping system and an emptying station, so you not only remove hair but also have dirty paw prints mopped away immediately.

In short: do you want versatility and luxury options? Choose the Willem 2.0. Do you have pets and a lot of trouble with hair? Then the Bep 5.0 is the perfect match.

The robot vacuum cleaners with only a vacuum function and large dustbin have a capacity of +/- 700mL.

For the versions with a mop, the dust capacity is between 300 and 400mL.

The Bep 5.0 and the Willem 2.0 are both versions with a mop and can also be expanded with an emptying station.

Yes. The Bep 5.0 is designed with pet owners in mind. Pet hair is often difficult to remove with traditional vacuum cleaners because it gets stuck in carpets or furniture. The Bep 5.0 features strong suction power and a special brush that prevents hair from getting tangled.

In addition, it is equipped with a mopping system and an emptying station. This means that not only is hair vacuumed up, but paw prints are also wiped away immediately. This keeps your floor fresh, even with multiple pets in the house.

Yes, both the Willem 2.0 and the Bep 5.0 can be fully controlled via an app. Through the app, you can set cleaning schedules, designate specific rooms for cleaning, and adjust the suction power.

You can also set up virtual walls and no-go zones. This allows you to determine where the robot is and isn't allowed to clean. This makes operation flexible and personally tailored to your household.

The Willem 2.0 and Bep 5.0 use advanced LiDAR navigation. This system scans your home with lasers, allowing the robot to create an accurate map. This means it doesn't drive around randomly, but follows a logical cleaning route.

This saves time and energy and ensures that every room is cleaned systematically and completely. Obstacles are cleverly avoided and the robot knows exactly where it has already been.

Regular maintenance is important for a long lifespan and good performance of your Zoef Robot robotic vacuum cleaner.

How often you perform this maintenance depends on the usage and the environment in which the robot is used.

Below are the most important points for maintaining a robotic vacuum cleaner:

1. Emptying the Dustbin (for models without an emptying station or self-cleaning station)
   If your robotic vacuum cleaner does not have an emptying station or self-cleaning station, you must manually empty the dustbin. It is best to do this after each cleaning session or at least weekly.
   Remove the dustbin, open the lid, and empty the contents into the trash. If necessary, wipe the inside of the bin with a soft, dry cloth.
2. Emptying Station Maintenance (for Willem and Bep 5.0)
   For the Willem model, the emptying station automatically empties the dustbin. Check the dust bag in the emptying station monthly, or when the device indicates it is full, and replace the bag if necessary.
3. Self-Cleaning Station
   For the Willem 2.0 model, the Self-Cleaning Station automatically empties the dustbin. Check the dust bag in the emptying station monthly, or when the device indicates it is full, and replace the bag if necessary.
   In addition, there is a clean water tank and a dirty water tank. The clean water tank must be refilled as soon as it runs empty. The dirty water tank must be emptied occasionally so that the self-cleaning station can clean the mops again. Of course, you will automatically receive notifications about this in the Zoef Robot Smart app.
4. Cleaning and Replacing Filters
   Zoef Robot vacuum cleaners have filters that collect dust and keep the airflow clean. Clean the filters weekly by gently tapping them out. Replace the filters every 2-3 months for best performance.
5. Maintaining Brushes
   The side brushes and main brush collect a lot of dust and dirt during cleaning. Check the brushes weekly for accumulated dirt, such as hair, and remove it. Replace brushes if they are worn to ensure your robotic vacuum cleaner continues to operate efficiently.
   

By following these steps, you ensure that your Zoef Robot robotic vacuum cleaner functions optimally and has a longer lifespan.
