Get Excited: The Prime Day 2024 iRobot Roomba Sale Has Our Home Editor’s Favorite Models for as Low as $160

If pet hair is your main concern, this under-$250 vacuum is definitely one to consider. Compatible with both WiFi and Alexa, this no-frills vac can be controlled from your phone whenever you need it. It doesn't have a self-emptying canister (like the fancier s9+ model, now $500, usually $1,000, and Meister’s top pick for dealing with pet hair), but it does have multi-surface rubber brushes that are less prone to tangling and flexible enough to pick up those tough-to-grab fur textures. This model is also designed to learn your cleaning habits, so it can offer customized schedules—and it even suggests extra cleanings during heavy pollen seasons to eliminate any extra allergens around the house.

This powerful little vacuum can be used as a classic vac or as a mop with the included mop attachment, giving you even more cleaning power across all floor types. It even comes with a self-emptying canister that iRobot recommends emptying every 60 days and Imprint Smart Mapping technology, which allows your vacuum to learn the layout of your home over time for more efficient cleaning. When the Roomba has the vacuum bin attached, you can employ the Dirt Detect Technology, essentially allowing the vac to identify dirtier areas of your home and clean them more thoroughly. Best of all? This impressive model is currently 45 percent off, saving you $270 off the OG price.

In Meister’s extensive Roomba review, she named this model the best for hardwood floors specifically. “The Braava doubles as a wet/dry mop—and comes with a microfiber pad that’s recommended for hardwood floors,” she explains. “You can opt for a dry clean (kind of like a Swiffer) or a wet clean, and so long as you use the right solution, it’ll leave your floors sparkling without causing damage.” And, yes, it has voice compatibility and smart mapping, like all the other beloved iRobots. The fact that it’s currently 45 percent off is just the cherry on top.

This fancy-schmancy robot vacuum and mop combo received a 91 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review from Meister. The j7+ model includes iRobot’s three-stage cleaning system—which features power-lifting suction, an edge-sweeping brush and patented dual multi-surface brushes—as well as multi-surface rubber brushes that adjust to different floor types (including hardwood and carpet) and even self-empties with Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to make the task totally effortless. Plus, users are sure to get a kick out of the vacuum’s smart-mapping technology, which allows you to schedule cleaning sessions in advance and control which rooms are cleaned. It certainly checks all the boxes, so it's no wonder Meister dubbed this masterpiece the best iRobot Roomba vacuum of 2024.

For the shopper on a budget, this basic Roomba model is currently on sale for just $160—$90 off the original price of $250. It’s a fabulous pick for those who prefer to skip all the extra bells and whistles and skip straight to all the deep-cleaning fun to be had with a robot vacuum. Like all the other models, it can be controlled with an app on your phone and has a three-stage cleaning system that adjusts the suction power automatically whether your vacuum is cleaning hard floors or carpets. A single charge lasts up to 120 minutes, at which point the smart vac will return itself to its charging station while you busy yourself with more important things.
