This review has been updated 14 times since it was first published in February of 2017. When the labor-intensive work of keeping floors clean gets to be too much, robotic vacuums can provide an affordable alternative to bringing in hired help. Some high-end models can initially set you back a pretty penny, though, so we found some budget-friendly selections that, despite being cheap, still do an admirable job of picking up dirt from wood, laminate, tile and carpeted surfaces. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the review.
