Best Lidar Robot Vacuums on a Budget Some robot vacuums cost up to four figures. Low-cost models that come with features such as self-emptying bins or mopping built-in can provide rock-solid performance for a fraction of their price. Lidar technology helps these cleaners avoid obstacles and furniture more effectively than 'bump-and run' robovacs, which use physical contact to map the room.
