## What does a robot vacuum cost by type?

We sort the models into three tiers by the station they come with: a charging dock only, an auto-empty station that empties the bin, and an all-in-one station that also washes and dries the mop. This is how prices stand today in each tier:

| Station | On sale | Median price | Cheapest | Cheapest in the ranking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| charging dock only | 34 | 153 € | Cecotec Conga M10 Advance Aqua Pro, 89 € at Amazon.de | [Roborock Q7 L5](https://bestatbest.com/de/en/robot-vacuums/roborock-q7-l5), 111 € at Amazon.de |
| auto-empty station | 26 | 240 € | Vonko S6 Pro, 149 € at Amazon.de | [Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty](https://bestatbest.com/de/en/robot-vacuums/shark-powerdetect-self-empty), 182 € at Amazon.de |
| all-in-one station | 111 | 599 € | Ecovacs Deebot T30e OMNI, 209 € at Amazon.de | [Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni](https://bestatbest.com/de/en/robot-vacuums/ecovacs-deebot-t90-pro-omni), 345 € at Amazon.de |

On sale today by tier: charging dock only 34, auto-empty 26, all-in-one 111. The median is the price that half of the models stay under.

## Why do prices differ so much?

Three things mostly decide what a robot vacuum costs:

- The station. A station that empties itself, washes and dries costs more than a charging dock, and it is bigger.
- The mopping. A robot that lifts its mop on carpet and cleans its own pads is pricier than one that only vacuums.
- The age of the model. A new model usually costs more, and last year’s often gets cheaper.

A higher price tells you what the model can do, not automatically how well it vacuums or how long it lasts. For that, look at the test results.

## What is the cheapest robot vacuum?

The cheapest in each tier, on 5 October 2026: with a charging dock only Cecotec Conga M10 Advance Aqua Pro, 89 € at Amazon.de. With an auto-empty station Vonko S6 Pro, 149 € at Amazon.de. With an all-in-one station Ecovacs Deebot T30e OMNI, 209 € at Amazon.de.

A low price says nothing about quality. With a cheap model, check whether the tests have rated it: only tested models are numbered in our [ranking](https://bestatbest.com/de/en/robot-vacuums).
