Who Makes The Best Cheap Robot Vacuums?

The same well-known brands that make the top-end models! Both Ecovacs and iRobot offer a broad range of robot vacuums to suit all households budgets, which means their entry-level products have a lot of the same time- and effort-saving tech as their more expensive buys.

For Ecovacs, this includes app integration, so you can set your robot vacuum working from the office and come home to spotless floors. You might also be surprised to learn that Ecovacs’ most and least expensive models both have the same dustbin capacity!

Another stand-out value brand, iRobot makes budget-friendly robot vacuums that are robust enough to tackle carpets and hard floors but slimline enough to scoot under furniture for a thorough clean.

“Look at a robot vacuum’s battery life when deciding how much you want to spend,” says Nick Trajkovski. “If you have a small home with a simple floor plan, then a budget model with an hour of battery life will get the job done. If you want a robot vacuum to spruce up a large home on a single charge, then it’s worth upgrading to a mid-range model.”
