Our verdict

Fine as a cheap daily crumb-catcher. If your budget stretches to $250 to $300, a self-emptying model from Roborock's Q series or Eufy usually offers more.

What we like

Often discounted heavily, below $200 at major US retailers
Simple to live with

What to know

Google Shopping review scores hover around 3.5 out of 5, lower than the newer models
Far fewer features than mid-range rivals
