Should I Buy a Robot Vacuum?

Typical price
$199–$1,599
Average score
56/100
Worth it if…
- Pets that shed, or mostly hard floors
- You want daily automated cleans between weekly deep cleans
Skip it if…
- Your home is full of thick carpet, steps or clutter
- You'd spend flagship money on your first one
Money tip: Last year's flagship at $400 typically out-cleans this year's budget model at $450 — check suction specs, not the launch date.
