How to Get the Best Robot Vacuum Deal
Self-emptying base stations add $100–$200 to the cost but are worth it if you vacuum frequently.
LiDAR mapping (Roborock, Shark IQ) is far superior to camera-based navigation for complex floor plans.
Check the dustbin size — smaller bins need emptying after every run in pet-hair households.
Mid-range picks ($250–$400): Shark IQ and Eufy RoboVac offer the best value in their class.
