The advent of dishwashers made hand-washing obsolete — or at least made hand-washing seem like a huge waste of time and energy. Robot vacuums largely make the same true for their analog counterparts (barring something like a major couch cushion cleaning). There’s no reason not to have one, you’ve maybe thought at one point or a number — except for the price.
This Black Friday weekend brings quite a few robot vacuum deals from Walmart and Amazon — and include discounts that are nearly half-off. Below are a few of our favorites at various price points.
iRobot Roomba s9+
iRobot is one of the best-selling robot vacuum brands, and for good reason — the company’s s9+ self-empties after 60 days, smart-maps your home, and is good with corners. It’s a strong contender for the market’s gold standard, which the $1,000 price tag usually reflects. It’s a much more competitive deal this Black Friday at 40% off on Amazon.
ECOVAS DEEBOT N10 PLUS Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
If you wanted something even cheaper, the Ecovacs Deebot is a solid bargain at its original price tag of $650, made even better at about $400 for Black Friday. It also self-empties after two months, and also includes a basic mop function. Reviewers say it’s surprisingly good with fine pet hair and a steal for the price.
Shark Matrix RV 2300
The cheapest you’ll probably get away with in terms of a cheap robot vacuum is $200, which includes this Shark Matrix model for Black Friday. It’s a little loud, customers say, with a lower battery life than others on the market, but it’s also ace with pet hair, and transitions easily between wood floors and carpet.
