In the world of robot vacuum cleaners, there are many models that combine quality, functionality and affordable price. Even with a fairly small budget, for example, up to $300, you can find a device that not only collects dust, but also copes with wet cleaning. These solutions are well suited for apartments, small houses or rooms where you want to minimize manual labor. Buying such a robot vacuum cleaner means one device instead of several, less time spent and more cleanliness without effort.

In our article, we will look at what you should pay attention to when choosing and which models currently offer the best balance between price and features. And in the section smartphones, TVs and electronics on Rozetka you can find both even more affordable models and real combines for cleaning large areas and automatic cleaning.

What to look for when buying a robot vacuum cleaner

• Suction power: For cleaning hard surfaces, 2000–3000 Pa is usually enough, and for short-pile carpets, it is better to choose models with a power of 3000 to 4000 Pa.
• Dust collector type: Vacuum cleaners with a cyclonic container are more convenient to use – it is easy to empty and wash, unlike models with garbage bags.
• Functionality: Even affordable devices can support both dry and wet cleaning. Some models are additionally equipped with the ability to control via a mobile app or voice commands.
• Navigation:Gyroscopic navigation is standard for the price range up to $300, but some models may offer more advanced sensor-based systems for better route planning and obstacle avoidance
• Operating time (autonomy):Choose models with sufficient battery capacity to clean your room in one cycle. .
• Filtration: For high-quality air purification, you should choose devices with HEPA filters – they effectively trap dust, animal hair and microparticles, which is important for people with allergies.
