Beware of maintenance costs that might be higher than you anticipated: tangles in brushes, clogged air inlets and empty dust bins can quickly turn your automated cleaning dream into a chore. For a lot of people, the best budget robot is the iRobot Combo. It provides the exact hands-off experience at less than half the cost. Suction Power Some models in this range offer enough suction for basic vacuuming. Others may need an nozzle that can be held in a handheld for more thorough cleaning. A budget-friendly vacuum is likely to complete the job if you have a house with mostly hard floors. If you have a mixture of floors, rugs or pets that shed, you will be able to get the best results with a more capable robot vacuum. Certain models that are priced lower come with a mopping feature and a water tank, increasing their capabilities. The more recent Dyson R7050C for instance, has excellent scores in CR's tests of navigation and a huge 770ml bin, but it's louder than most of the other robots we've tested and doesn't offer mopping features. The smaller Eufy Roborock Q5 Pro, in contrast, is quite quiet and has an automatic emptying dock. It also has an water tank, powerful suction capacity of 5,500pascal and a large bin can be filled with cleaning solution to make it a more effective mopping machine. The Q5 Pro can be controlled by the smart app which allows you to mop or vacuum a room or a sequence of rooms or a whole area. You can also set up no-go zones, and customize suction settings for each room. The Shark ION is a good choice for those looking for something that is affordable and simple to use. It's not as sophisticated as other models, and comes with a basic app and no-frills maps, but it has excellent navigation and cleaning abilities. It's also one of the few robots we've tested that can distinguish between carpets and hard flooring and has a 300m
