Not sure what you need? Find out in 7 questions →A robot with only a charging dock is the cheapest and smallest way to have your floor vacuumed daily. You empty the bin yourself, every few days in an average home, and if the robot mops you clean the cloth yourself. The dock is no bigger than a book and fits anywhere.
With these robots, look mainly at navigation (laser is more accurate than a camera), suction on carpet and the size of the bin. Many models also exist in a version with an auto-empty station, usually with a plus in the name, for a few tens of euros more.

The price is the median of today's lowest price per model, delivery included. How long a dust bag lasts is what the makers state themselves: new bags are the running cost of a station.
