While Prime Day doesn't start until tomorrow, July 16, Amazon already has robot vacuums on sale. Get the iRobot j9+ for its lowest price ever or 50% off a self-emptying Shark.
UPDATE: Jul. 15, 2024, 12:00 p.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest live robot vacuum deals at Amazon the week before Prime Day, including a new Shark and Roomba model at record-low pricing.
After Walmart could barely scrounge up a noteworthy robot vacuum deal for Walmart+ Week, we're banking on Amazon even harder to go off on robot vacuum deals for Prime Day.
We're in good hands, though. Overall, Amazon is already generally the best place to score a robot vacuum on sale at any point during the year, whether that's a shopping holiday or a random Tuesday in September when your current corded vacuum sends you over the edge. Despite ditching its plans to buy iRobot, Amazon is still the best retailer to find a Roomba on sale, slashing Roomba prices by between 25% to 50% throughout the year. We manifested those same Roombas to reach new record-low pricing as Prime Day nears — and our wishes came true. The Roomba Combo j9+ dropped below $800 — its best price ever.
We're similarly hoping that Prime Day sets the stage for new all-time low prices on other premium robot vacs released at CES 2024 in January. Particularly, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni dropping below $650 (that deal has already expired) or the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra getting its very first discount would be awesome — we've tested and loved both.
But if you've already taken a beach trip that has left your floors perpetually sandy, you don't have to wait until Prime Day (July 16 and 17) to make the move on a robot vacuum. We've been refreshing our list of robovacs on sale at Amazon (with subcategories for standard robot vacuums and robot vacuums that mop) for several weeks preceding Prime Day, and will keep you posted when Amazon switches over to official early Prime Day deals. For now, all newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.
Sound the alarms! The very best Roomba is on sale at its very best price — ever. Its typical price of $1,399 is a whole lot of money to shell out on a vacuum, even if it does a spectacular job of keeping your floors clean. However, this early Prime Day deal gets you 43% savings for a whopping $600 off. That means this combo robot vacuum and mop has officially hit its lowest price ever.
$799 is still a lot of money to spend, but having tested the j9+, we're confident it's worth every penny. Not only will it effortlessly sweep your floors, but it mops them too, using its SmartScrub technique, for some added elbow grease. The self-emptying and charging dock makes this vacuum virtually hands-free as an added water tank refills the smaller tank on the vac.
