Under five hundred dollars you get 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 a self-emptying station, and the odd one even a station that washes the mops. What you usually miss: hot water for the mop, a camera that recognizes socks and cables, and extending brushes for the corners.
The list below changes daily with the prices. The order is our score from lab tests and owners’ ratings. The price is today’s lowest including shipping.
Mopping freshening 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.
× Upkeep empty it myself Upkeep ×
A station can empty the bin, wash and dry the mop and refill water. The more it does, the bigger and pricier it is.
× Station type Price under $500 Color Customer rating Customer rating ×
Counts only models with at least 20 reviews: with fewer, the average says little.
