Chances are if you’ve landed on this guide, you know you want a robot vacuum to help clean your home. But you also probably know that these can be pretty expensive gadgets – it’s not unheard of to drop close to $1,000 on a high-end robot vacuum cleaner. Just a few years ago, there weren’t a ton of solid yet affordable robot vacuums out there. But now, there have never been more budget robot vacuum options to choose from. At Engadget, we consider anything under $300 to be cheap in this space and you may be surprised to see how many there are at that price point. And if you’re new to the world of robot vacuums, you may find that one of these budget gadgets does everything you expected and more, without sacrificing cleaning performance.
Are robot vacuums worth it?
Friends and family often ask me if new gadgets are “worth it,” and when it comes to robot vacuums the answer is yes. The most important thing they have going for them is autonomy: Just turn it on, walk away. If you’re someone who wants to spend as little time as possible cleaning your home — or just someone who detests vacuuming — a semi-autonomous robotic vacuum is a great investment.
