Best Roomba deals: Top robot vacuums from as little as $160

Cleaning up a whole house can be a tiring task, especially if you live in a city or a place where there is a lot of air pollution and dust gets everywhere. Luckily, robot vacuums like the Roomba can help with that quite considerably, and while they can’t put stuff away or clean more substantial messes, they can help keep your house free of smaller dust and debris. That said, Roomba robot vacuums tend to be quite expensive, which is why 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.

You can schedule when you want the robot vacuum to clean through the iRobot Home app or your preferred voice assistant, and once it’s done, it will return to its charging station where it will wait for the next session.

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.

It will simultaneously vacuum and mop your floor, with its four-stage cleaning system with dual multi-surface rubber brushes that can adjust to different floor types and a specialized microfiber pad that can remove dirt and dust. You can pair the robot vacuum and mop with the iRobot Home app so you can give it instructions through your smartphone, or through your smart home devices powered by Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, or Google Assistant.

If you like the idea of the iRobot Roomba Combo i5, then you’ll love this bundle that includes the self-emptying base station, and while it does add well over $100 to the cost, it’s worth grabbing if you want to save yourself the hassle. 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.

This robot vacuum, however, is a smarter one than the others, as it can easily avoid other objects on the floor, including pet waste, and it uses Imprint Smart Mapping to allow you to control and schedule where and when it will clean.

The iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ is featured in our roundup of the best robot vacuums as the best budget pick if you want a robot vacuum and robot mop in one device. You’ll have to manually swap out its bin to switch it between vacuuming and mopping, but it’s powerful at both functions. 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.

It also features a retractable mopping system that lifts itself to the top to prevent getting certain surfaces such as carpets wet. For tough stains such as muddy paw prints and intense spills, you can activate the SmartScrub option for back-and-froth scrubbing until your floor is spotless again.
