The robot vacuum revolution just got more affordable. If you’ve been eyeing a Roomba but waiting for the right moment, Amazon’s latest deal on the iRobot Roomba Essential might be your cue to finally delegate your vacuum duties. Because no one wants to spend time vacuuming if a robot can do it for you.
Amazon has you covered if this is your goal – the massive retailer has knocked this do-it-all bot down to $149 from its regular $250 price tag (40% off), making this one of the lowest prices you’ll find a Roomba for right now, and not one of those knockoffs that claim to clean like the brand, but actually can’t (or don’t).
Have a cleaner home thanks to a robot vacuum
This isn’t one of those basic robot vacuums that bumps around randomly until it maybe cleans something. The Roomba Essential uses smart navigation to clean in methodical rows, kind of like a tiny, tireless housekeeper that knows exactly what it’s doing. Its three-stage cleaning system adjusts suction power based on whether it’s tackling hardwood or diving into carpet fibers.
This robot can learn just about every area of your home so you don’t have to deal with mapping it or teaching it as it moves through. In turn, that means your cleaning will get done faster. Through the iRobot Home App, it creates Clean Map reports showing exactly where it’s been, even when you’re not around to supervise. The “Clean While I’m Away” feature is especially neat. It knows when you’re out and gets to work, so you always come home to clean floors.
The practical touches really stand out. Its low profile design means it can sneak under furniture where dust bunnies like to hide, while the Edge-Sweeping Brush takes care of corners that regular vacuums often miss. With up to 120 minutes of runtime, it covers a lot of ground before automatically heading back to its charging station for a recharge.
At $149 (40% off), you’re getting iRobot’s decades of robot vacuum expertise in an accessible package. The setup is refreshingly simple – no engineering degree required. Just unbox it, connect to WiFi through the app, and let it do its thing. You can even set up cleaning schedules so it runs while you’re at work or sleeping.
This robot vacuum hits that sweet spot between features and value. It’s got enough smarts to clean effectively but isn’t loaded down with costly extras you might never use. And if you want one of your own, it’s worth picking up on sale now.
