FAQ

How much does a robot vacuum cleaner cost?

The price range for robot vacuum cleaners varies significantly based on their features, the brand, and their capabilities. The cost can start from as little as around AUD200 and go up to over AUD2,000 for premium models. For instance, the flagship DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI is priced at AUD2,499, while older models like DEEBOT N20 PRO PLUS is priced at AUD999.

What influences the cost of a robot vacuum?

Key features of robot vacuum cleaners, such as suction power, navigation and mapping technology, and battery life, can influence the cost of a robot vacuum, making some models more expensive than others. Look out for special discounts, seasonal offers, and clearance sales on your desired products.

Should I buy a cheap robot vacuum cleaner?

Deciding whether to buy a cheap robot vacuum cleaner depends on your specific needs and expectations. For instance, cheaper robot vacuums might not have the same suction power, durability, and battery life as most expensive models. Similarly, lower-cost models often lack advanced features such as smart navigation, auto-empty features, app connectivity, and voice control. That being said, it is worth investing in a higher-end model at a discounted price.
