The best robot vacuum under € 1,500 in 2026

• Does not matter
• Mostly hard floors (laminate, tiles, wood, PVC)
• A mix, with rugs or some carpet
• Mostly carpet

With carpet and rugs the robot must lift or drop its mop, or the rug gets wet.

• Does not matter
• Yes, pets
• Yes, long hair (no pets)
• No

Hair wraps around the brush. An anti-tangle brush prevents that; a camera that recognises droppings prevents the other well-known accident.

• Does not matter
• Not needed
• Freshening is enough
• Yes, real mopping

Mopping freshens the floor; real stains rarely come off. Spinning or roller mops paired with self-cleaning stations deliver the most effective floor cleaning.

• Does not matter
• Emptying the bin myself is fine
• As little as possible: it may empty itself
• Nothing: everything automatic, mop included

A station can empty the bin, wash and dry the mop and refill water. The more it does, the bigger and dearer it is.

• Does not matter
• Up to 2 cm, or none
• 2 to 4 cm
• Higher than 4 cm

Most robots cross 2 cm; higher thresholds need a climbing system. Measure under your sofa too: a low robot fits underneath.

• Does not matter
• Rarely
• Sometimes
• Often

A robot with a camera recognises small items and drives around them. Without one it drives over them or gets stuck.
