One of our favorite places for budget robots is 33 percent off right now
The Roborock Q5 DuoRoller+ robotic vacuum is on sale through Amazon for just $300. That’s 33 percent off and a record low, since the regular price is $450. This is a limited time deal, for those who often bundle things up for a significant amount of time. There is no judgment. I do that too.
In any case, this model actually makes our list of the best budget robot vacuums. We liked the suction power, LiDAR mapping accuracy and robust app and voice controls. The DuoRoller+ is essentially an updated version of the original Q5 with a host of enhancements. The suction power has increased to 5500 Pa, the dustbin has increased to 770ml and there is a self-extraction base.

This model also comes with dual brushes, hence the name, which help deal with dirty pet hair and the like. It’s worth noting that the Roborock app has come a long way in recent years, if you had trouble navigating the UI back in the day. It’s not the most polished app, but it gets the job done.
The battery allows 240 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. This translates to about 3,700 square feet of cleaning per charge. The only major downside here is that the Q5 is a traditional robovac. It cannot bleed. Can’t beat that $300 price tag though.
