The robot vacuums getting the job done for less than $300
While robot vacuums were once a bit of a luxury item, their increasing popularity in Aussie homes is seeing them become much more affordable.
And who wouldn't want one? They save the time you'd spend vacuuming each weekend, and their improved sensory technology means you can pretty much set and forget. They pick up all the crumbs, dust, lint, and pet hair – especially if it's hiding under couches or tables you can barely get to with a regular vacuum.
And a good one doesn't have to break the bank. These are our favourite robot vacuum options, all under $300, with the features and capabilities of a much more expensive model.
