If you're scouring the Prime Day sales for an affordable robot vacuum, then I might have just the ticket. It's the Roborock Q7 M5, and it's down to only $142.48 (was $299.99) at Amazon. That's the lowest price we've ever seen on a model that we rated an impressive four stars out of five when we reviewed it.

Roborock is no stranger to our roundups of the best robot vacuums, and the Q7 M5 is a strong contender for a place in our best budget robot vacuum guide.
Despite its budget-friendly price, the Q7 M5 actually boasts a number of features reserved for higher-end models, including 10,000Pa of suction. That's a top-end spec and ideal for picking up most types of debris. Oh, and it's also a hybrid, which means it can mop and vacuum. Very impressive for such an affordable model.

In our Roborock Q7 M5 review, we gave the budget robovac a solid four stars and called it "a brilliant budget bot with bouncy suspension" and said that it "offers impressively strong suction for a budget-friendly price".
It's worth noting that the Q7 M5 has a charge-only dock rather than a self-emptying one, but if you're happy performing a manual empty every few cleans, then it won't be a problem. For self-emptying, you'll want to upgrade to the M5 Plus version, which is also on sale for Prime Day.
The bottom line is that this is a robot vacuum that performed well in all our cleaning tests and was even able to navigate tall thresholds. It really does deliver where it matters most.
