One of our favorite robot vacuums is on sale for just $129

When it comes to robot vacuum cleaners, there is one brand that probably comes to mind before any other. But there are plenty of great options beyond Roomba, and one of our favorite models is on sale for almost half off. The Anker Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 11S Max is down to $129, which is a 48 percent discount or $120.

This is our pick for the best ultra-budget robot vacuum cleaner. Since it's so heavily discounted right now, that makes it an even more affordable recommendation.

We appreciate the slim profile that makes the RoboVac 11S easy to clean under low furniture. We found the vacuum to have long battery life and good suction power, especially for its size.

The main drawback is the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity. That means you won't be able to bark a request to clean a spot at your voice assistant. Instead, you'll need to use a remote to control the vacuum, but it still has many of the features you'd expect from an app-operated model, such as scheduled cleanings. You can also start a clean by pressing a button on the top of the unit.

The RoboVac 11S starts cleaning in automatic mode with the goal of optimizing the process while you roam around your home. However, you can select spot cleans and edge cleans with the remote control. Another welcome feature, especially for a robot vacuum cleaner in this price range, is the inclusion of effective object detection. So if you're looking for a budget-friendly robot vacuum for yourself or a loved one, the RoboVac 11S is definitely worth considering, especially at this price.
