The Roomba robot vacuum lineup is known the world over for its great design and smart capabilities, and the iRobot Roomba 694 is one of the most popular models available. It features a clean, minimal design that remains unobtrusive even when the Roomba is hard at work. It has the ability to dock itself automatically for recharging when its battery is low and has many features that are often associated with more expensive robot vacuums. As you’ll find in many of the best Roomba robots, adaptive navigation sensors keep the Roomba going amidst you and your household objects, and it easily navigates around furniture, feet, and even pets. The Roomba 694 is even able to offer you personalized cleaning schedules based on your cleaning habits, and you can schedule it to clean up after you on a daily basis using the iRobot Home app.

Neato Robotics D9 — $300, was $500

Neato’s line of robot vacuums is a great Roomba alternative for a modest price. The Neato D9 has two large brushes and impressive sucking power. Its flat face means the brushes can be larger and farther apart than they would be on a round robot vacuum, and it can run flat into a wall to really get into corners. It can run for over three hours without needing to recharge, which Neato estimates to be about 1,600 square feet of cleaning. It comes with a smart app, with features like Zones, which allow you to set up specific areas that you want the D9 to focus on every day. Its sensors use lidar lasers to detect its surroundings, so it works great in low light conditions, such as under chairs or during the night.

Roborock S7 – $410, was $650

Roborock

Roborock’s S7 is both a smart vacuum and mop, with some of the most intelligent navigation support on the market, plus sonic mopping technology — delivering 3,000 vibrations per minute. Sonic mopping uses the power of sound to clean unruly and sticky messes with ease. But you’ll also get an auto-lifting mop that keeps carpets and rugs from being soiled, multi-level mapping, app and voice controls with Alexa support, and much more. The vacuum has 2,500 pascals of powerful suction and cleans for up to 180 minutes on a single charge. It’s not just an impressive piece of machinery — it will help keep your house clean while you kick back and relax for a bit, maybe even catch up on your favorite shows. If you get the optional auto-empty dock, the large-capacity 3-liter dustbin in the dock allows it to continue cleaning unfettered for up to 60 days at a time.

iRobot Roomba i7+ — $500, was $900

The iRobot Roomba i7+ has a ton of smart features, including the ability to learn your home, and is even capable of cleaning up in-the-moment messes like crumbs under the kitchen table with a simple voice command. It’s able to learn the layout of your home and build personal smart maps, enabling it to expertly clean and navigate in neat, efficient rows, and know where to go when you give it a command to clean a certain area. The Roomba i7+ is also capable of recognizing patterns in your cleaning behaviors, and can recommend certain times of the day for vacuuming, or vacuuming certain rooms at certain times. This smart scheduling feature is nice for houses with kids or pets, as the Roomba i7+ can get to work regularly on little messes that occur throughout the day.

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra robot vacuum and mop – $1,060, was $1,400

The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra includes an auto-empty and auto-fill dock so it will self-refill and self-empty. The dock’s large dustbin can hold enough debris for up to seven weeks of continuous use without needing to be emptied. The S7 MaxV vacuum offers up to 5,100 pascals of suction power, which is incredibly high, and next-level intelligence with ReactiveAI 2.0 navigation to avoid obstacles and safely move about the home. The VibraRise mopping system scrubs the floors up to 3,000 times per minute to get rid of dried-up or stained messes. This system is a must-have for pet owners, but it’s sure to keep any household clean — even some of the dirtiest of the bunch!

One of the best Black Friday robot vacuum deals you can score is the iRobot Roomba S9+, as it’s bundled with the iRobot Braava jet m6 robot mop. But the Roomba S9+ even stands alone as a great deal, and there’s a reason we consider it a nearly perfect robot. It features Roomba’s three-stage cleaning system and is able to produce 40 times the suction power of previous models. The Roomba S9+ also features Perfect Edge Technology with advanced sensors and a specially designed corner brush to optimize cleaning deep into corners and along edges. The S9+ is able to empty itself, and the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal is able to hold up to 60 days’ worth of cleaning before needing to be emptied. It’s a top-notch robot vacuum option, and if you’re interested in how it stacks up against the competition, compare the Roomba S9+ in our Samsung Jet Bot AI+ vs. iRobot Roomba S9+ roundup.

    Surviving the extreme conditions of space: The little Roborock vacuum that could
    Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra first robot vacuum in space

    By now, you've likely read the tale of the robot vacuum in space. More specifically, Roborock's S8 MaxV Ultra took a trip into the upper atmosphere and made it back to Earth, successfully. What an impressive feat and a testament to the durability and reliability of modern technology. But perhaps more relevant is the extreme nature of the trip. Allow me to explain.

    You see, Roborock has created this campaign to "push the boundaries," of what's possible. But also to show off the sheer engineering excellence of its products. By sending this robot vacuum into space, ensuring that its best features continue to work in that extreme climate, and bringing it safely back, and in working order no less, Roborock has certainly pushed the limits. Space is a harsh environment. The temperatures are frigid, anything beyond the atmosphere is exposed to high-energy radiation, and the isolation and confinement of a near vacuum, are just a few traits worth noting. Almost nothing could survive a trip into outer space and back, at least not without proper protection, certainly no living organism.

    In the spirit of pushing boundaries, Roborock has perhaps pushed the envelope further than ever before. How? Well, it's certainly not just by introducing the Roborock S8 Max Series smart vacuums, consisting of two models: S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra. There's more to it.

    Although these two powerful and intelligent smart vacuums include a host of new innovative features, there's something else that's bigger and more awe-inspiring. Keeping up with that idea of "cleaning beyond limits," the S8 series has also achieved something spectacular related to space. Yes, outer space. In August 2024, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra was launched into the upper stratosphere, becoming the first-ever smart vacuum in outer space. Just imagine it floating, weightlessly, high above the planet, maybe even cleaning some debris as it goes.

You need to hurry with your purchase if you're interested though, as this limited-time offer may disappear at any moment.

    Why you should buy the Roborock Q5 Max+ robot vacuum
    Most people who are thinking of buying robot vacuums are probably looking for Roomba deals, but we actually gave the top spot in our list of the best robot vacuums to Roborock. That speaks volumes of the quality that you'll get with the Roborock Q5 Max+, which comes with a self-emptying dock that fits a pair of 2.5-liter dust bags. That's enough capacity to hold all the dirt and debris that the robot vacuum picks up for up to seven weeks, so it may take that long before you need to manually dispose of the dock's contents.
