Amazon Prime Day 2022 has kicked off, and there are plenty of excellent deals on vacuums, including several robot vacuums from the top brands we've tested. Roomba is the only brand with two models in our best robot vacuums guide. Right now, you can save big on a new Roomba with the deals below.
Our other favorite robot vacuum brands are offering great deals, like Robovacs and Eufy. We consider the Robovacs S7 to be the second-best robot vacuum with a mop that we tested, and it's at an all-time low price. The budget pick from our guide, the Eufy Boost IQ 15C Max, is down $100, making it even more affordable than it already was.
The Roomba is what started the robot vacuum craze decades ago. Since then, scores of other companies have introduced robovac models, with each brand trying to outpace the others with innovations. We think Roomba is still topping industry. That's why we made the i3+ the top pick in our guide. It has large main brushes, strong suction, and automatic dirt disposal.
Consider our budget pick, the Eufy RoboVac 15C Max if you're looking for a cost-effective model. For its sub-$200 price, it has an impressive array of features, including smart connectivity via the app (available for Android and iOS). It also performed well on hardwood and carpeting in our tests.

The main benefit of robot vacuums is that they automate cleaning your floors. Once you set the schedule in the app, a Roomba will clean your home and return to its dock to charge when done. You just have to empty the dustbin, clean the filter, and perform other maintenance tasks that are common to all vacuum types.
Yet, robot vacuums have small dustbins and batteries so all the necessary components can fit into a small device. They also cost more than traditional vacuums.
Upright vacuums are more powerful than robot vacuums. However, you can't beat a Roomba when it comes to automatic floor cleaning.
Compared to other robot vacuums, Roombas tend to be more expensive. We think they're worth it. iRobot regularly rolls out user-friendly updates to its app, fixing bugs and adding new features. We didn't experience any bugs while testing the app and found the app had minimal lag time and consistent performance.
Roombas also typically have the latest innovations that are actually useful and work well. For instance, iRobot was the first to popularize the auto-emptying station. Zoned cleaning and strong suction are also popular Roomba features.
Prime Day is Amazon's annual sales event where it offers deals on millions of products. We usually see prices reach all-time lows, even beating out Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Prime Day is Tuesday, July 12 through Wednesday, July 13 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Some deals last longer, but we recommend acting on deals while supplies last.
Yes. Prime Day deals are only available to Prime members. However, you can sign up for a free 30-day Prime trial to take advantage of the savings.
