Only three things are certain in life: Death, taxes, and a few days each month when you need to vacuum but just don’t have time. Whether you detest the chore or hope to make your home upkeep a bit breezier, a robot vacuum is a lifesaver.

Robot vacuums under $ 200

Why we like it

Eufy makes a handful of budget robot vacuums near the $ 200 or $ 300 price point, all with different letters ahead of the title that signify differences. The “G” here signifies gyroscope navigation that guides the G-Series vacs in an S-shaped route — a methodical upgrade over the lowest-tier Eufy vacs that simply bounce around and hope for the best. This particular bundle from Eufy also includes a replacement kit with extra filters and brushes, and the whole thing is cheaper than the G20 on its own.

  • Automatically boosts suction on carpet

  • 100-minute battery life

  • Schedule cleanings in the app

Robot vacuums under $ 500

Our pick: iRobot Roomba i1+

$ 288 at Walmart (save $ 241.99)

Why we like it

Though it’s been at this price for a while, this self-emptying Roomba for under $ 300 is easily our favorite post-Prime Day Roomba deal. The i1 and i2 Series Roombas lack room mapping, but this isn’t a major deal for smaller spaces and will save you $ 100 (give or take) over the i3+. The i1+ still maintains wall-to-wall coverage by cleaning in neat rows and honing in on dirtier spots.

  • Dirt Detect cleans dirtier spots more thoroughly

  • 90-minute battery life

  • Self-emptying dock holds 60 days’ worth of debris

Robot vacuums under $ 800

Our pick: iRobot Roomba s9+

$ 599.99 at Amazon (save $ 400)

Why we like it

The most powerful Roomba also happens to be our favorite robot vacuum for carpet and rugs. The Roomba s9+ shells out 40 times the suction of 600 Series Roombas to dig deep into thick carpets. As iRobot’s only D-shaped robot vacuum, the s9+ uses its flat edge to skirt walls and grab debris hiding out in corners.

Amazon’s sale price not only matches the lowest price the s9+ has ever seen (to which it first dropped on Prime Day 2023), but is $ 100 better than Best Buy’s current sale price on the same vacuum.

  • Room mapping and zone cleaning

  • 120-minute battery life

  • Self-emptying dock holds at least two months’ worth of debris

Our pick: Roborock S8

$ 599.99 at Amazon (save $ 150)

Why we like it

Spring 2023 marked (another) new era for Roborock with the release of the S8 series — and two models are already on sale. Compared to one of our previous-favorite hybrids, the S7, the S8 introduces AI-powered obstacle avoidance, amped suction power, and dual roller brushes underneath. Roborock says that those last two improvements lead to a 30% increase in hair pickup.

  • VibraRise mopping system scrubs 3,000 times per minute

  • 180-minute battery life

  • 6000 Pa suction power versus 2700 Pa of Roborock Q7
