What to look for in Best Robot Vacuums Under $800
Spend in this band when your home has mixed flooring, pets that shed daily, or more than one level to map. The upgrades that matter at $500-$800 are obstacle avoidance (cables, shoes, pet waste), dock automation that washes and dries mop pads so you are not hand-washing them, and enough battery to finish a large floor in one pass. The upgrades that rarely matter: headline suction numbers, RGB cameras, and voice assistants you will not use. If your home is under about 800 square feet on a single level with hard floors, the under-$500 list is better value and you can stop there.
