Long gone are the days of dirty floors—and the nights of you having to get down to scrub ‘em. A lazy person’s dream come true, iRobot’s smart Roomba vacuums and Braava Jet mops quite literally do all the work for you, and they’re arguably the biggest hack for making your floors sparkle on the regular. Why else do you think we *named* our beloved Roomba j7+You can read all about it here, but spoiler alert, the mighty machines do a fine job of ridding our floors of dust and debris (even in those hard-to-reach places, like under sofas). So when an iRobot vacuum sale happens—like the one going on at Amazon right now—we can't keep it to ourselves, especially when it can save you up to $650 on top-rated models for a limited time.

If you already own a robot vacuum, now is the time to upgrade to an even smarter model like the self-emptying Roomba i3+ Evo (was $550, now $379). However, if this is your first one, you may want to go with the easy-to-use Roomba 694 (a PureWow reader favorite) which is currently under $200. In either case, you'll be glad you took advantage of these major markdowns.

Oh, and BTW, these genius robot cleaners make great gifts for dad if you happen to be shopping for Father's Day. So really, you can't go wrong. Here are four models we have our eye on.

Clean Freaks: If You Don’t Have a Tiny Car Vacuum, It’s Time to Invest in This One (Trust Me)


The Braava Jet M6 is our top pick for this sale. Why? We'll start by raving about how quickly it picks up the layout of your home to learn your space and ensure a deeper clean in heavy traffic areas. So let's say you want it to focus on your kitchen floors. All you have to do is tell it when (in the app) and it uses jet spray to tackle everything from sticky food to drink spills like a pro. When it's done covering between 400 and 1000 square feet, it recharges itself, so it's always ready to go.

PureWow readers are obsessed with this tried-and true-robot vacuum for good reason. Not only does it have Alexa and Google Assistant capabilities (so you can get it poppin' just by using your voice), it also boasts a three-stage cleaning system and dual multi-surface brushes that lift dirt from most indoor floor surfaces, including carpets. And that dust in the corner? Its edge-sweeping brush takes care of it. It even detects dirtier areas in your home (like at the front door) and handles them like a boss, similar to how it identifies stairs so that it won't fall down and break on you.

If you really don’t want to lift a finger (we feel you), turn to one of the most hands-free Roomba models you can buy on sale now. This guy uses smart mapping and scheduling to clean your home while you’re at work or out running errands, along with dual multi-service rubber brushes (which happen to be great for pet hair). But better yet, it self-empties its debris into the included docking base, which can hold up to 60 days’ worth of discard, and automatically recharges, so you don’t have to think twice about getting the job done.

If you're willing to splurge for the cleanest floors you've ever seen, look no further than this dirt-bursting dream team, which includes both an elite Roomba vacuum and a Braava Jet robot mop. The brand claims that this powerful pair boasts 40 times the suction power of their competitors, and uses a three-stage cleaning system to lift, loosen and clear away debris and pet hair (yes, even deep in your carpets). Not to mention, the PerfectEdge technology is designed to clean in tough-to-reach corners, while the mop's Precision Jet Spray will tackle all the sticky kitchen and bathroom messes you can think of.
