iRobot Is Having a Huge Sale on Their Most Popular Vacuums, Including Our Favorite Roomba

We chose the iRobot Roomba 675 as our overall favorite pick for our Best Robot Vacuums list because its core features provide everything most people want in a robot vacuum, yet it’s still relatively affordable compared to other models. When it comes to cleaning power, its three-stage cleaning system and dual multi-surface brushes are impressively effective, and the fact that it automatically re-docks when the battery runs low is super convenient. It’s easy to control and set schedules for the compact, user-friendly vac via your Alexa or Google Home device, the iRobot app, or just a good old-fashioned press of a button.

The Roomba i3 has similar baseline features to the ones we love about the 675, but some key additions make it a clear upgrade. Simply put, the i3 is smarter than the 675. It navigates the layout of your home using state-of-the-art floor trackers to ensure it’s cleaning every area regularly and thoroughly. Special sensors determine where it can fit so it won’t get stuck and which areas of your floors are dirtiest and need to be cleaned most often. The i3 even makes uniquely tailored recommendations, like suggesting extra cleaning sessions when your pet is shedding more often than usual or it’s allergy season in your area. Best of all, it usually costs $125 more than the 675, but right now the price difference is just $50.

If your home has mostly hard flooring rather than carpet, you might be better off with a robot mop instead of (or in addition to) a robot vacuum. Currently $100 off, iRobot’s Braava jet m6 is an excellent, dependable option with lots of handy features. Its cutting-edge navigation system not only helps it mop your floors in neat, efficient rows but also maps out and memorizes your home's layout so it knows the hallway from the living room, allowing you to set schedules that work for you. It also has a precision jet spray feature that does a pretty impressive job of tackling sticky messes, and like all the other picks on this list, it can be controlled with your home assistant device or the iRobot app.

If you really don’t want to think about vacuuming ever again, it’s worth splurging on the Roomba i7+—especially since it’s $200 cheaper right now. The device has a seemingly infinite array of cool features—including just about all the ones described above—but perhaps the most notable upgrade is that it literally empties itself into its own special trash canister, making it the only self-emptying robot vacuum on the market. Like the Braava jet m6, the Roomba i7+ has a far more advanced home mapping system than older models, so you can command it to clean up messes in specific areas (like the cereal that just spilled under the dining room table). Plus, the Roomba i7+ is 10 times more powerful than the Roomba 675 (although it’s worth noting that much suction isn’t necessarily needed for the average household).
