2. Eureka Groove

This robot vacuum is priced lower than the majority of its competition, but has a variety of features. It's well-built, simple to store, and works without an internet connection. However, it has a difficult time clear pet hair on all surfaces, and isn't very good in navigating around obstacles.

Despite these limitations, customers have given the Groove praise for its suction power and versatility.

It can be used to wash upholstery and furniture, eliminating dust mites and other irritating substances. It can be operated in four different ways that allow you to schedule cleanings with the Eureka app, or control it through Alexa or Google Assistant.

It's also quite light at 4.9 pounds which makes it easy to carry around and move around. However, its parts are somewhat fragile and some components, such as the dust cup cover and brushroll compartment door are susceptible to scratching or cracking. Additionally, its charging pins, sensor, and brushroll can all be opened for maintenance and should be cleaned with a dry cloth regularly.
