Budget Robot Vacuums
A cheap robot vacuum can still earn its keep, provided you know which corners were cut. At the entry level, brands trim the dock, the mapping, and sometimes the app, and the real question is whether those cuts land on features you would actually use. The brands here sell at least one model at a modest price. Hoover lists a washable filter so you are not buying replacements. OKP Life, Laresar, and Tesvor also compete at this end. Watch for random bump navigation, tiny bins, and apps that stop getting updates. Ask one question first. Does the robot map your rooms, or does it wander until the battery runs out?
