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

If you come home and don’t really look forward to doing the day-to-day dusting and vacuuming that’s required to keep everything clean, then robot vacuums are a great solution. Probably one of the best-known brands is Roomba, and if you’re looking to pick up a new one, then Roomba has a lot of great options you can pick from.. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or something a little bit more high-end that comes with a self-emptying station, we’ve gone out and collected some of 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 started Prime Big Deal Days, the exclusive October Prime Members deal event. The discounts are unreal. Nearly everything from apparel, video games and tools, to electronics, outdoor equipment, and Halloween gear is discounted. Come take a look.

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.
