Little robots, big deals: Amazon has Roomba robovac deals from $220 this Prime Day

The name Roomba has become synonymous with robot vacuums, and with good reason – this brand really knows what it’s doing when it comes to these little home helpers. For Amazon Prime Day, iRobot has rolled out major discounts across most of its fleet of robovacs.

There are deals for every budget. In the mid-range, the i5+ for $399 at Amazon is outstanding value, while those on a budget would be hard-pressed to find a better deal than $219.99 for the Combo Essential at Amazon. Surprisingly, the all-new Combo 10 Max just got its first ever discount, and is currently $999 at Amazon (a massive 29% off list price).

We’ve tested out most Roomba models, and they almost always score very highly, so you’re in safe hands whichever model you go for. The main thing to figure out is what your budget is, and which tasks you’re willing to take on yourself – functions such as mopping and self-emptying all bump the price up. Of course, vacuuming and mopping will be more powerful if you’re willing to spend a bit more, too. Here’s a closer look at the best Roomba deals for every budget…

There are also some excellent cordless vacuum Prime deals live now. If you’re deciding between a robot vacuum or a manual vacuum this Prime Day, there are a few things worth knowing.

The first is that robovacs generally won’t match a manual vac when it comes to outright suction. If you want to do a deep clean, you won’t be able to delegate it to a robovac. What they are great for is regular, low-level cleans – the idea being that you set them to run every couple of days (depending on how busy the household is) and the dust and debris never builds up.

Because you can operate most models remotely, and set them to clean while you’re out, this is far less inconvenient than doing a full manual vacuum would be.
