The best robot vacuum under $500 in 2026

32 models with up to 39 manufacturer specs, across 6 stores you can buy from in the United States.

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 test-site results and owners’ ratings. The price is today’s lowest including shipping.
