Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deal Days event has officially arrived—running from now through Oct. 9. Translation? Now is the time to score major savings on everything from fresh new sheets and viral skincare products to $20 leggings (so good you might just mistake them for lululemons). That said, the deals you should be most excited about are on iRobot Roomba vacuums, now up to 50 percent off. If you’ve been looking for the right time to spruce up your cleaning routine with an easy-to-use, hands-free robot helper, *now* is the best time to do it.

Take it from me, PureWow’s resident home editor: iRobot Roomba vacuums absolutely live up to the hype. After testing several of the brand’s best-selling models myself—in addition to the viral Dyson v15 (also on sale for Prime Day)—the j7+ robot vacuum, now 50 percent off, reigned supreme in my apartment’s hard-to-reach corners. Not to mention that the sale extends to more budget-friendly options, including the iRobot Roomba Combo i3+ at 40 percent off, which has more than 9,700+ five-star reviews.

So below, find five iRobot Roomba vacuums on sale that come highly recommended by me and countless Amazon reviewers. (P.S. Don’t forget to sign up for a Prime account to access the best deals across all categories, including home, beauty and fashion.)

Best iRobot Overall

1. iRobot Roomba j7+ Robot Vacuum

iRobot

As mentioned above, this vac was rave-worthy enough to earn 91 points out of 100 in my PureWow100 review. First and foremost, it features a three-stage cleaning system with ten times the suction (compared to previous models)—and it’s safe to use on sealed hardwood floors. The smart map lets you label and customize which rooms to clean, and it even has keep-out zones and clean zones, so you can target exactly where you want the robot to go (or cable-filled corners it should avoid). It also comes with a self-emptying Clean Base with automatic dirt disposal to make cleaning hands-free from start to finish. To that end, what I loved most about this robot is how it consistently delivers a thorough clean. Thanks to auto-sense technology that tells it to return to leftover dirt, it strategically plans to clean hard-to-reach places, like under the fridge or next to the bathroom trash can. If you want my two cents, I'd say it's worth every penny at half off right now.

2. iRobot Roomba Q011 Robot Vacuum

iRobot Roomba

This Amazon-exclusive Roomba takes everything you might love about the Roomba 694 and makes it better. While both models feature a three-stage cleaning system and multi-surface brushes that can handle dirt on any floor type, the Q011 has quieter, stronger suction, making deep cleaning seamless. Its smart navigation also improves upon the 694's by cleaning in neat, precise rows—and it still includes Alexa compatibility with a “Clean While I’m Away” command for hands-free convenience. Not to mention that this model boasts a longer runtime of up to 120 minutes (compared to the 694’s 90 minutes), and it automatically recharges when the battery runs low. With quieter cleaning, smarter features and a more budget-friendly price point, this guy is an easy add-to-cart.

3. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot Vacuum

iRobot Roomba

If you're looking to seriously upgrade your cleaning routine, this vacuum + mop combo is definitely worth the investment (especially while it's $400 off). This is iRobot's most powerful model yet, thanks to a four-stage cleaning system that allows you to choose between vacuuming, mopping or combo both. While the SmartScrub feature offers 2x deeper scrubbing on tough areas in the kitchen, the suction is 100 percent more powerful, including Dirt Detective technology that automatically adjusts for a more thorough clean. It also comes with dual rubber brushes that avoid pet hair tangles, reusable mop pads that you can toss in the wash and an AutoWash Dock that empties the dustbin into an enclosed bag (for up to 60 days) and automatically washes/dries the mop pad after every use. Plus, as if that weren’t enough, the robot cleans for up to 180 minutes on a single charge—using a camera and advanced PrecisionVision sensors to avoid obstacles—and you can control everything via the iRobot Home App or with Alexa voice assistant commands.

4. iRobot Roomba Combo i3+ Robot Vacuum & Mop

iRobot Roomba

If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to the mop + vac combo above, the iRobot Roomba Combo i3+ is the ticket. Just like its pricer counterpart, this model offers the convenience of both vacuuming and mopping, plus a self-emptying Clean Base that holds up to 60 days of debris. To that end, it features the same Dirt Detect Technology, which zeroes in on particularly dirty areas, and reusable mop pads that scrub tiled floors until they gleam. Unlike the Roomba Combo 10, however, it doesn’t include a camera—this one uses floor tracking sensors to ensure that it cleans in neat rows without missing a spot. Plus, Imprint Smart Mapping allows it to learn the layout of your home, adjusting to your cleaning needs over time—and it’s equipped with 90 minutes of runtime per charge. Bonus: When its battery is running low, the robot will automatically navigate back to its Clean Base, recharge and resume right where it left off. Not to mention that it’s currently 40 percent off—saving you $171.

5. iRobot Braava Jet m6 Robot Mop

iRobot

Finally, the Braava Jet m6 is a hands-free solution for tackling sticky messes and everyday spills. It’s designed to mop just like you would, including a precision jet spray that easily handles everything from kitchen grease to coffee spills. It navigates seamlessly around objects and under furniture, cleaning finished hard floors like hardwood, tile and stone—and with vSLAM navigation and smart mapping, it learns your home’s layout, cleaning in neat, efficient rows. Better yet, If you need a quick clean-up, you can use voice commands with Alexa or use the app to target specific spots like under the table or in front of the couch.
