A low cost way to get auto empty and mop washing with long battery life. Vacuum Wars measured strong carpet cleaning and about 1,831 sq ft per charge. Skip it if you have pets or clutter, since it avoided only 8 of 24 objects and struggled with stains and pet hair.

A well rounded all in one robot that Vacuum Wars ranked #1 at review time, with top five carpet pickup, perfect pet hair results, strong obstacle avoidance and record threshold climbing. Battery coverage is below average, and a long term tester saw weekly dock clogs with a heavy shedding dog. The 3 year warranty is a real plus at this price.

- RTINGS: In RTINGS' comparison with the L40 Ultra, the L50 Ultra handled pet hair better and had stronger obstacle avoidance and threshold clearance, while the L40 Ultra cleaned hard floors and carpet better. We could not read RTINGS' numeric scores. Source
