The best robot vacuum I've tested just saw a hit a record-low price for Prime Day, but these 3 budget-friendly…

Robot vacuum deals this year aren't quite as good as they used to be; as interest wanes due to lofty list prices and continued difficulties to raise the bar of cleaning quality, robovacs can be a tough sell. That being said, some are outstanding, and this year for Amazon Prime Day, the best robot vacuum I've personally tested is on sale.

Right now, you can save big on the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, which launched at $1,799 last year before its price drop to $1,149.99; and right now it's $884.99 at Amazon. In the UK it launched at £1,199, then dropped to £749, and it's now £659 at Amazon.

While the list price drops contribute massively to the savings, a $265 / £90 discount is still noteworthy. That being said, it's still an expensive purchase, and if you don't need an "all the bells and whistles" robovac, you could be better off with one of the below models under $500 / £500.

Best Dreame X50 Ultra Complete deal today

Dreame's X50 Ultra Complete was the best robot vacuum I tested last year, earning it a near-perfect 4.5-star rating in my review, and at this hugely discounted price, it's the deal to beat this Prime Day in the premium robovac category.

If you don't need something as high-specced as the Dreame X50, check out my top three picks below, which have all been tried and tested by team TechRadar.
