How to Find the Best Budget Robot Vacuum

A bargain-priced robot vacuum can be a great value. However, it can cost more than you expect in terms of maintenance: removing hair from brushes, clogging inlets, and emptying tiny dust bins can quickly turn your dream of automating cleaning a chore.

The iRobot J7 Combo is the best value robot for a lot of people. It provides the exact hands-off experience for less than half the cost.

Suction Power

Some models in this range have enough suction to do basic vacuuming. Others may need an nozzle that can be held in a handheld for more thorough cleaning. A budget-friendly vacuum is likely to do the job if you live in a home that has primarily hard floors. If you have a variety of floors, carpets or pets that shed, you will be able to get the best results with an advanced robot vacuum.

A few budget models include mopping and a water tank capability, adding to their flexibility. The newer Dyson R7050C, for example, has excellent navigation scores in CR's tests and a large bin capacity of 770ml, however it is louder than many of the other robots we've tested, and does not have mopping capabilities. Eufy Roborock Q5 Pro is smaller, but it is quieter and has an automated dock. It comes with a water reservoir and a suction power of 5,500-pascals, and an enormous bin that you can fill with cleaning products to make it more effective. The Q5 Pro can be controlled via the smart app, which lets you mop or vacuum a space, sequence of rooms, or a whole area. You can also set up no-go zones, and set suction settings to your preferences for each room.

The Shark ION is a good option for those looking for something that is affordable and simple to use. It's not as advanced as other models, having a basic app and no-frills maps, but it has outstanding cleaning and navigation capabilities as well as cleaning. It's also one of only few robots that discern between hard flooring and carpets. The 300ml dustbin only empty once every 30 days.

If you want a more advanced model that can vacuum, mop and even create a map of your house for smarter obstacle avoidance look at some of the most expensive options in this price range. The iRobot Roomba 650 and 750 offer a powerful suction force and combs that are clever for pet hair and other fine dirt, and in-app scheduling and voice control with your smart home assistant. Samsung Cleanbot SV8000 offers a outstanding cleaning capabilities at a reasonable cost.

Navigation Efficiency

A budget robot cleaning machine vacuum can be as effective as a higher-priced model in the event that it is able to navigate your home and avoid obstacles. Our lab technicians utilized a tracking device in a multi-room test residence to test the robot's ability to navigate and locate the rooms that it needed to clean within a specific time frame, while keeping away from obstacles like furniture, power cords, and carpets. We also examine how fast robots can move over various terrains used in the home such as stairways and transitions between different types of floor.

The best robot vacuum under 200 budget robot vacuums have efficient navigation systems that aid in helping them clean a room without spending time, running through obstacles, or getting stuck. Most robot vacuums have maps that are essential to complete a thorough house clean. Even models that aren't mapping can effectively cover a room. It is important to consider balancing the price of your machine against the features that you need.

We also consider the ease with which robots can get over common thresholds in the home like the size of a door's sill or the width of a sofa. A budget-friendly robot should be able to move over these obstacles, and some provide settings to alter suction power to suit different kinds of floors. We also look at whether the robot is compatible with smart home technology and can be controlled remotely via an app or voice commands.

The iLife V3s Pro is a great example of a budget robot that provides basic mapping capabilities and other intelligent features. It's also quite affordable. It is controlled by the iRobot app, and also has an auto vacuum-return feature that will return it to its base when the battery has run out and then picks up where it began.

The iLife V3s Pro doesn't have the advanced object avoidance features found on many of the top robots, but it has a live camera that transmits a grainy video feed to your smartphone so that you can keep an eye on the robot as it performs. The cameras can also detect obstacles like stairs and other steps and trigger an alert when the robot comes across them. However, the iLife employs random navigation instead of a method that is designed to keep objects from getting stuck against furniture legs, therefore it might not be able around a leg on a chair or other tight spot as well as a robot equipped with mapping capabilities.

Cleaning Performance

When shopping for a robotic vacuum, you must consider the cost and performance. Budget models may not include advanced features such as mapping however, you can find many that perform very well at cleaning your home. Be aware of the dimensions and capacity of the dust bin. You'll need to have enough space to accommodate all the trash a robot collects including dirt, pet dander and hair.

You'll need a machine that can remove stains and dirt from carpets as well. We test all models on the ZDNET robot vacuum chart to determine their ability to remove dirt and hair from carpet. The most effective models come with a brush designed to dig into the carpet's fibers and pull out debris.

The budget models are great at cleaning up small messes from bare floors or low-pile floor coverings but they struggle to get rid of bigger pet hairs and debris from higher-pile carpets. These models typically have less suction, but they can still be effective in cleaning debris from tight places such as corners and under furniture.

The iLife V3s Pro vacuum cleaner is the best vacuum for its price range. It has a good score in our tests and it can remove dirt and hair from carpets. It's also one of our quieter models and is easy to use. It has a small suction opening that scoops debris rather than pushing it through the brush bar, and it can adjust the power to be in line with the surface. It has a sidebrush with three bristles to push hair and other debris into the robot's path. However, it is not as effective in picking up fine dust.

Find a model that has both vacuum and mop functions, such as the Combo j9 Plus. This robot vacuum cleaner can simultaneously vac and mop, and make specific vac/mop settings to each room. It's more expensive than the other budget robot vacuums on our chart, but it has the advantages of having a forward-facing camera, which allows for more precise mapping and better obstacles to avoid for things like power cords and cat piss.

Maintenance

The ease of use robot vacuums provide is wonderful, however the technology comes with the cost of. They require regular maintenance, from emptying their dustbin to replacing filters and cleaning the brush bar. They can also get caught in cords, or fall off the stairs.

The best budget robot vacuums ease the burden since they require only minimal management by the user. The top models come with navigation systems that stay clear of objects and stay clear of dangers, including strangling electrical cords and dropping food. They also make use of a mix of sensors to map rooms and build maps that show which areas they've cleaned previously so they don't go over the same spots again.

Don't let the cost of the more expensive models deter you. They can still do an excellent job if given a chance. Our top picks for budget-friendly models are from leading OEMs like iRobot Roborock Dreame. You can be certain that they've been created with care and built to last.

Consider a mopping robotic if you are willing to pay more. These machines can clean floors using a damp cloth and eliminate stubborn stains. They can also be used combination with mop pads to tackle tough jobs, such as dried coffee.

The TP Link Tapo RV30 plus is the most affordable mopping robot we've reviewed in our roundup. It has a clean and uncluttered design, but it also comes with all the features and capabilities of a top-rated robovac. In our tests the RV30 was able of navigating without bumping into furniture and building detailed maps of its floors that can be used to reference on future runs. This is the only budget robot that we have tested with this feature. iRobot Roomba also has mapping capabilities, however the app setup guides you through the entire procedure.

Be sure to maintain your robot regardless of whether you opt for an expensive robovac or one that is more affordable. It is a good idea to empty the dust bin after each cleaning job and to clean the filter if you have one (check the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for more details). Replace the battery when required and test the Wi-Fi connection.
