# Best robot vacuums under $500

This list is for buyers who want a self emptying robot without paying flagship prices. A robot qualifies if its price was under $500 when we last checked. Budget models skip camera obstacle avoidance and most mop with a simple pad, so clear cables before each run and expect weaker results on heavy pet hair.
