UPDATE: Nov. 15, 2022, 4:15 p.m. EST This story has been updated to reflect the latest iRobot deals and stock info.
OUR TOP PICK: The iRobot Roomba j7+ is one of the only Roombas that can avoid cords and pet waste, and it’s seeing new record-low pricing — $599 $899.99 (save $300.99)
BEST CHEAP ROOMBA DEAL: The iRobot Roomba 676 offers standard, reliable cleaning for under $180 — $229 $269.99 (save $40.99)
BEST SELF-EMPTYING DEAL: The iRobot Roomba i1+ is already at Black Friday pricing, making it the cheapest self-emptying Roomba by far — $288 $529.99 (save $241.99)
Whether your cleaning woes stem from having to vacuum at all or from babysitting the clumsy robot vac you currently own, Black Friday season is a great time to upgrade to a Roomba.
Rather than waiting to purchase until the end of November, early Black Friday sales mean that you can lock down a few extra weeks of clean floors at a low price. Retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target kicked off their big shopping events in October, complete with a “Black Friday price” badge to let you know which deals are already at their best of the season.
While sales on Roombas are a bit more elusive than other brands during the year, early Black Friday sales are seeing no such shortage — a ton of Roombas are heavily discounted, many already at record-low prices.
Still comparing before making your final decision? We also have a pretty big list of live robot vacuum deals from brands like Shark, Roborock, and Ecovacs.
Please note: All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨, and all vacs marked with a ⚡️ are already at their official Black Friday price. Anything with a strikeout was either sold out or no longer available at the sale price as of this writing, but check back often — we’re updating this page constantly.

Why we like it
The cheapest (non-discontinued) Roomba we’ve seen so far during this Black Friday season is the 676. Though it’s a less-familiar model, the 676 is essentially a clone of the 692 and 694 models spotlighted last Black Friday. iRobot’s entry-level 600 Series offers 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.

Our pick: iRobot Roomba i1+
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
“Roomba” and “budget-friendly self-emptying robot vacuum” typically aren’t seen together in the same sentence. But worlds collide with this early Black Friday deal on the Roomba i1+, now $59 cheaper than its sale price during Walmart+ Weekend in June. This mid-range Roomba cleans floors with 10 times the suction power of the 600 Series, then retreats to its dock to self-empty for up to 60 days at a time.

Best Roomba deal with room mapping
Opens in a new tab
Why we like it
Even without the mopping functionality just announced for the Combo version of the j7+, the OG j7+ is still a super solid investment — especially now that it has dropped $20 below its previous all-time-low pricing from Amazon’s second Prime Day in October. The j7+ was the first Roomba to introduce Genius Technology and PrecisionVision Navigation to avoid small obstacles that were previously problem-causers, like phone chargers and pet waste. The j7+ also self-empties.
