UPDATE: Nov. 22, 2021 12:30 p.m. EST This story has been updated to reflect the latest iRobot deals, including one Roomba at $179.
We’ve tracked down the best deals on Roombas ahead of Black Friday. These robot vacuums have the best discounts as of Nov. 22:
-
OUR TOP PICK: The iRobot Roomba 694 offers a standard, reliable cleaning for under $200 — $179
$274(save $95) -
BEST SELF-EMPTYING OPTION: The iRobot Roomba i7+ can be sent to specific rooms and then empties its own dust bin — $549.99
$799.99(save $250)
Whether your cleaning woes stem from having to vacuum at all or just from babysitting the clumsy robot vac you currently own, Black Friday is a great time to upgrade to a Roomba.
After much speculation about deals on the newest Roombas, we were greeted with juicy discounts on both the j7 and j7+ in the early days of November. Those deals have disappeared as of this writing, but even their fleeting presence proves just how hard iRobot is planning on going this Black Friday. If you were shopping for a more budget-friendly Roomba anyway, Amazon has once again dropped the Roomba 694 to $179.
The best Black Friday deals for 2021, all in one place
We’ve been saying this since October, but now that it’s officially Cyber Week, we’re putting it in bold: There’s no reason to wait until Nov. 26 to buy a robot vacuum. Best Buy kicked off its full Black Friday sale on Nov. 19, and Walmart’s last (and probably biggest) Deals for Days event starts on Nov. 22. Amazon is also dropping record low prices on a daily basis.
Still comparing before making your final decision? There’s also a pretty big list of live robot vacuum deals from brands like Roborock and Ecovacs.

Why we like it
We’re pumped to welcome back the cheapest Roomba we’ve seen this season. The 694 is part of iRobot’s entry-level series, offering a standard clean to keep floors tidy on a daily basis. Cleanings can be scheduled in the app based on your needs or custom cleaning suggestions. The only difference between the 694 ($179.99) and the 692 ($199.99) is that the latter doesn’t include an extra filter.

Why we like it
The last time we checked, the Roomba i7+ was on sale at Best Buy for the same price as the i6+ at Amazon (give or take 99 cents). The vacuums themselves are identical — same dynamic suction process, same smart mapping that remembers your floor plan, same self-emptying dock. The only difference is that the i7+ comes with an extra filter and side brush, so you can score those extras at no extra cost.
