Perhaps lesser known than some of the big names in the market, however that doesn't mean you should discount Vexilar's models. This W15 robot vacuum offers a variety of cleaning modes, a large dust canister, and great smart tech.

Another powerful robot vacuum at an affordable price, this Vexilar W15 model delivers fuss-free, convenient cleaning thanks to its intuitive controls, straightforward app and self-mapping technology.
It performed best when lifting crumbs and debris and we were pleased to see it didn’t flick any lighter pieces as it moved across the room. The robot was also quick to pick up pet hair, but finer dust proved more of a challenge, making it better suited to top-up cleans and keeping high-traffic areas tidy.
While the Vexilar W15 does come with mopping functionality, it uses a flat mop pad rather than dual rotating ones like many of the more premium models. This made it less effective on tough stains as it couldn’t agitate the dried residue, so we recommend keeping a standard mop on stand-by. For the price tag though, it’s a compromise we’re willing to accept.
