Top 5 Best Budget Robot Vacuum Cleaners: Buyer’s Guide
If you’re still using a traditional vacuum for cleaning then you might be spending countless unneeded hours to keep your home in top shape. Robot vacuums have come to help us save time and money. In this article, we break down the top five best budget robot on the market this year based on price versus performance and situations they’ll be used in. So if you’re interested in finding out which robot vacuums will perform as good or better than their price tag might suggest, keep reading.
First up is the Eufy RoboVac 11+. The Eufy RoboVac is about 13 inches across, 4 inches tall, and weighs in at around 3.5 pounds. The Eufy has two side brushes on the underside that spin as the vacuum moves to help dislodge dirt and debris. Setup is easy: snap on the two side brushes, peel off the plastic cover that protects the body and shipping, place the unit on the charger, and you’re ready to go.
A remote control is supplied in order to program the Eufy. You’ll need two AAA batteries as they’re not included in the package. Once the batteries are in, you can set the time. There are a few operating modes: spot, where it moves in ever-widening circles, edge, where it’ll find the edges of the space and clean along them, single room and manual, where you can guide with the directional keys on the remote. There are also a couple of automatic modes including a max clean, which amps up the suction for carpeting but drains the battery faster.
You can also program Eufy to clean it a specific time of day, and when the time comes, it’ll clean using a variety of the modes to cover the most space. The Eufy RoboVac 11 is a great automated solution. It’s very well made and it appears that it can stand a very long life running into the sofa legs.
Next up is the iRobot Roomba 690. The Roomba 690 is equipped with modern robot features, such as Wi-Fi, smartphone app connection, and scheduled cleanings. This vacuum offers a circular aesthetic combining silver top with a black outer ring. The interface on top of the unit is simple and also contains a handle for easy pick up. Durable walls make up the perimeter of the vacuum allowing them to bump into walls, furniture, etc., and bounce right back off without taking damage.
The vacuum cleans by simply driving around, spotting dirt and debris through its dirt detection system, and cleaning it up. However, it doesn’t have a memory system, and as such, it will not remember the layout of the room it’s cleaning. The vacuum totals 3.6 inches in height and has a width of 13 inches. The smaller, more compact design allows the unit to get into those hard-to-reach places many other vacuums might not be able to even touch.
Setting up this vacuum is as easy as it comes: unbox it, charge it, and let it clean. Everything already comes pieced together so you don’t have to worry about building the robot vacuum once it arrives. The battery for the vacuum takes two to three hours to charge under most circumstances, and with a full charge, can vacuum for up to 60 minutes.
The Roomba 690 robot vacuum is a good option for those looking for more convenient cleaning sessions. The 690’s dirt detection system means it can take a little longer to complete cleaning sessions as it must first detect and then eliminate dirt. However, the cleaning performance is still incredibly strong.
Next up is the iLife V3s Pro Robotic vacuum. As far as robot vacuums go, the iLife V3s is a nicely designed piece for people who want something modern and decidedly on appliance like. The V3s is chassis, which is white with gray and black trim, is fit for any aesthetic. It is 11.8 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. The iLife V3s features front obstacle sensors and a plastic bumper to help it feel around its environment as well as a full suite of what the company calls cliff sensors to keep the robot from falling down the stairs.
There are also two spinning brushes to help catch debris, and to empty the dustbin, you have to pull it out by its handle, take off the lid, and take out the filter to dump its contents. On auto mode, the vacuum starts in the middle of the room and continues to clean until it’s nearly out of battery power. It docks itself when it has nearly exhausted the battery. The V3s can navigate pretty well across hardwood and over flat rugs without getting into much trouble, provided you don’t have any straight cables that the spinning brush will get tangled in. All in all, the iLife V3s’ features and power make it a great budget-friendly robotic vacuum option.
Next up is the Ecovacs Deebot N79. The Ecovacs Deebot N79 vacuum cleaner is constructed in a circular design with two separate bumper walls that make up the exterior perimeter of the unit. The interface on top of the vacuum is simple as it only contains the logo of the vacuum and auto button for automatic cleaning and the Wi-Fi light indicator. The vacuum can be controlled via the auto button, the remote, or the Ecovacs’ app.
Below the surface, there’s a dustbin and filter which can be released by the latch located in the front of the vacuum in line with the clear walls. Once the dustbin is released, a smaller latch will open the filter compartment. Two battery charging pins also sit on the bottom portion of the vacuum allowing it to drive onto its home base to charge up. Designed with modern robot features, the vacuum uses a smart motion system to detect dirt and debris and then cleans it up.
When it comes to size, the vacuum contains a smaller build sitting at 3.1 inches tall and weighing only 6.7 pounds. It also comes with a remote and is equipped with Wi-Fi, therefore you can control the vacuum from a completely separate room if you so desire. Designed with the circular build, this vacuum cleaner is able to rotate 360 degrees with ease. This allows the Deebot to completely wraparound legs of furniture, in addition to other tight turns.
There’s even an edge cleaning mode which means that the Deebot N79 will follow along the edges of your home using its brushes to remove dust and dirt then sucking it up. All in all, the Ecovac Deebot N79 is a hands-free budget-friendly robot vacuum built to tackle a variety of messes.
Last up, we have the iLife A4s robot vacuum cleaner. The iLife A4s is a simple no frills cleaner that busts dust, and while you won’t get advanced features like Wi-Fi connectivity, you will get a compact design with solid performance and a very good battery life. It’s an excellent choice if you’re shopping on a budget. It’s a petite 12.2 inches in diameter and stands three inches tall this makes it ideal for low clearance furniture and it’s relatively easy to carry around.
Underneath, you’ll find two spin brushes, a swivel wheel, two treads, drop sensors, charging contacts, and the main brush. In the box, you’ll get the usual array of spare parts and accessories, a charging dock, and a remote control. The A4s cleans randomly meaning, unless you select a specific cleaning mode it’ll ping-pong across the room as it cleans.
The A4s is capable of handling many different floor types. It traverses hardwood floors, rugs, and tile without issue. The battery life is where the iLife A4s really distinguishes itself. It has an estimated battery life of a 140 minutes. All in all, the iLife A4s robot vacuum cleaner is a great option if you’re looking for a budget vacuum cleaner with incredible battery life.
