What is Bin capacity?

In short

Bin capacity is how much dust and debris a vacuum's bin holds before you empty it.

Bin capacity is the volume of the collection bin, and a larger one means fewer trips to the kitchen bin, especially in homes with pets. Buture's cordless vacuums list a bin capacity of 1,500, at the larger end of this group, while Daewoo Electricals lists 200 for its robot vacuum. Beko sits between them at 800. Trade-off: a bigger bin adds weight and takes more cupboard space.
