The Best Budget Robot Vacuums

Budget is the entry band of the per-category price tiers we maintain editorially, and this is a deliberately short list: six budget models carry a full published review, scored 9.0 to 9.6. The mid-range and premium tiers are excluded — each gets its own list. iRobot supplies half the roster: the Roomba Combo j5 vacuum-and-mop, the Roomba i4 EVO, and the Braava Jet M6 — a dedicated robot mop that earns the band's top score. eufy's BoostIQ RoboVac 11S MAX, Lefant's M210 and ZCWA's robot vacuum round it out. Five of the six work with Alexa, and three navigate by mapping. The comparison table below gives the at-a-glance view; each ranked card links to its full review.
