The best robot vacuum under € 500 in 2026

46 models are on sale today for € 500 or less, delivery included. Ranked by our consensus of tests. The list moves with the prices.

Under five hundred euros you get, in 2026, a robot with laser navigation, a good map of your home and enough suction for hard floors and low-pile carpet. More and more models in this class have an auto-empty station, and the odd one even a station that washes the mops. What you usually miss: hot water for the mop, a camera that recognises socks and cables, and extending brushes for the corners.

The list below changes daily: a model that drops just under the limit today because of an offer may be gone tomorrow. The order is our consensus of 5 test sources; the price is today's lowest including delivery.

46 of 127 models

Score: consensus of the positions in 5 test sources, 100 = top of every source. Every model on this list is recommended by at least one test source. The bottom of a top list is still worth half the points, and a model named by only one source cannot score above 50. Only models sold in the Netherlands count. Method.

Other models we track

Models without a ranking table of their own: none of our test sources recommends them, or their dock type has too few models for a fair comparison. We do track their prices.
