Best Robot Vacuum Deals
iRobot's Roomba Combo j7 Plus available from Amazon, best BuyAnd iRobot At around $599 ($600 off), which is an all-time low. The J7 Plus was once our favorite Roomba robovac, and the combo J7 Plus builds on the base model with an auto-retractable mop. This means it can lift its mop pad and pick up dirt from your carpets without getting them wet and then vacuum/pop hardwood floors without requiring any mid-cycle management.
However, the mopping performance isn't as good as we've seen, and you'll have to replace its 210ml water tank frequently and disassemble and clean the mop pad itself. Thankfully, it can automatically dispose of dirt using the included auto-empty dock. The Combo J7 Plus doesn't slip easily thanks to AI-powered obstacle avoidance, which allows it to navigate toys and pet feces. You can also direct it to clean specific areas using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands.

It can also empty its own bin and refill its own water tank.
The Dreame X40 Ultra also features an extendable side brush and mop pad, providing better coverage for baseboards, corners, and underneath your furniture.

It can also dry its own mop pads and empty its bin on a separate docking bay and offers enough capacity to last up to 90 days without any interference.
Its self-cleaning roller mop is more effective than the typical pads we see in most other units, but the downside is a smaller coverage area. It only has one roller brush for vacuuming, but its respectable 6,500Pa suction more than makes up for it. And while it has lidar mapping and AI-powered obstacle avoidance, we found it still had a tendency to get stuck on laundry, bath mats, and other obstacles. S10 is also one of the few RoboVac with Matter SupportWhich effectively enables native control via Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa (though the said platforms don't fully support robot vacuums yet).
The S10 is a great mopping robot with a battery-powered water refill dock that makes it the best hands-free robovac we've tested. A separate auto-empty dock takes care of the dust. It's big and fast and lacks some features found in higher-end robots, but it does a great job of keeping your floors clean.

That being said, Roborock does sell a version with a self-emptying dock, which is also On sale now for $329.99 ($270 off).
yidi cube Currently down to an all-time low of $299.99 ($260 off) Amazon When you clip the on-page coupon for $190 off. It's not easy to find a self-emptying/self-cleaning vacuum at this price point, as these features are typically only available on robots that cost $600 or more.
With a suction power of 5,100Pa, the Cube can tackle most common vacuuming scenarios, although its single hybrid rubber/bristle brush can easily get tangled with pet hair. However, it does better mopping than most models in its range, as its vibrating microfiber pads can really get your floors clean. The cube also uses laser for object avoidance, although it is not as effective as lidar and AI smarts for navigation. It can avoid large furniture and other items, but it may need your help rearranging cables, toys, and laundry. Still, we found it navigates better than most other robots priced under $300.
