Getting Great Value Without Overspending
Budget robot vacuums have improved dramatically in recent years. Models under $400 now offer features that were premium-only just a few years ago, including LiDAR navigation, app control, and even basic mopping capabilities.
The main trade-offs in budget models are typically dock features (no self-empty or mop washing), lower suction power, and less sophisticated obstacle avoidance. For many homes, these compromises are perfectly acceptable for the significant cost savings.
