Best Roomba deals: Top robot vacuums from as little as $170

Coming home from a long day of work to do some light dusting around the house can be frustrating and often leads to things piling up and becoming an even bigger chore over time. Luckily, robot vacuums, like Roomba, can help a lot with keeping the day-to-day dust and grime away, and you don’t even need to get the best one to do so. There are a ton of options you can pick from, whether it’s just a basic Roomba robot vacuum, or one with a self-emptying stand, although most of the options are quite pricey. That’s why we’ve gone out and collected our favorite Roomba deals below.

That said, if you don’t necessarily want a Roomba, you can check out these general robot vacuum deals, and for the more substantial messes, there are always these vacuum deals and cordless vacuum deals too.

Another great budget option is the iRobot Roomba i1, which has a few extra functions that might be good for those who have pets and often deal with things like pet hair. It’s Wi-Fi connected and can be controlled by Google, plus it has all the mapping features that will keep it from constantly bumping into your walls and your furniture. That said, you do unfortunately miss out on having the self-emptying base station with this deal, but if that doesn’t bother you as much, then it’s well worth grabbing.

Amazon has officially announced the dates for Prime Big Deal Days, which will run from October 8 to the 9. But you don't have to wait until then to save big. Nearly everything from apparel, video games and tools, to electronics, outdoor equipment, and Halloween gear is discounted. Come take a look.

It will unload the dirt and debris that it picks up into its vacuum bin, which you won’t have to empty for up to 60 days, and you can fill the combo bin with water or a compatible cleaning solution of your choice.

The self-emptying base station has up to 60 days’ worth of trash collection, which makes the robot vacuum a lot easier to maintain in the long run. Otherwise, it’s exactly the same as the previous version, with the combo mop and other features.

Keeping up with a lawn can get pretty tiring quickly, especially if you tend to have a lot to do on an average day, but a good lawn mower can make life a lot easier. In fact, even some of the cheaper lawnmowers have a lot of great quality-of-life features that won't have you constantly emptying out bags or maintaining them so they don't break down. Of course, they can be quite expensive, especially if you're going for something fancier like one of the newer robot lawn mowers, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite deals on them.
Litheli 20-volt Cordless -- $160, was $190

Thanks to its brushless motor, capable of 4500 RPMs, you'll get significantly reduced vibration and noise when mowing, even the toughest of lawns. Pairing that with the five separate cutting heights, and a 13-inch blade, you'll see effective cuts on your blades of grass with near effortless labor behind it -- you don't have to work as hard to get an even and in-depth cut. The high-performance battery offers 25 minutes of runtime on a single charge with a lock-off button and trigger switch for safety. It's a great option for small to medium-sized yards. Even if your yard is bigger, you can grab an extra battery or two to extend the runtime.
