{"slug":"best-robot-vacuum-under-800","title":"Best robot vacuum under $800?","question":"What is the best robot vacuum you can buy for under $800?","verdict":"As of 2026-07-07, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini collectively rank Eufy X10 Pro Omni #1 for robot vacuum under $800 on ModelsAgree by aggregate score, though no single model picks it first. The models' case: 8,000Pa suction, genuinely good AI camera obstacle avoidance, oscillating dual mops with auto-lift for carpet, and a full wash/dry/empty station at ~$700 — the most. The models' main caveat: Improve dock reliability and mop-washing thoroughness, which lag Roborock's and generate more maintenance complaints. The strongest alternative is Roborock Qrevo S — The best all-around package under $800 — 7,000Pa suction, dual spinning mops with a dock that auto-washes and hot-air-dries them, self-emptying. Not unanimous: ChatGPT picks Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow; Claude picks Roborock Qrevo S; Gemini picks Roborock Qrevo S.
