UPDATE: Jul. 6, 2023, 3:35 p.m. EDT This story has been updated to reflect the latest robot vacuum deals at Amazon before Prime Day 2023, plus other concurrent offers from Walmart and competitors.

Robot vacuum deals have always been a pillar of Prime Day.

Now that Amazon owns iRobot, we expect an increased focus on Roomba deals this Prime Day — hopefully, unprecedented ones that beat the plateauing discounts we've been seeing since Black Friday-ish.

If you're not set on a Roomba, however, you have several options to score a robot vacuum on sale ahead of Prime Day. Roborock, for instance, has almost all of its current models on sale, including a few S8 Series models that came out in May 2023.

Below, we've rounded up the best robot vacuum deals that are live ahead of Prime Day at Amazon as well as retailers holding competing summer sales events.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a ? have dropped to an all-time low price.

Robot vacuums under $200

Why we like it

It's not often that iRobot's Roombas are under $200, so this particular model is definitely a rare gem. It's got a three-stage cleaning system, dual multi-surface brushes, cliff detect technology, and more — all to guarantee you a floor cleaning you're satisfied with. This Roomba doesn't self-empty, but its other features (like auto-adjustment to various carpet heights and a battery runtime of up to 90 minutes) make up for it.

Robot vacuums under $500

Opens in a new tab Credit: iRobot Our pick: iRobot Roomba i1+ (opens in a new tab) $288 at Walmart (save $241.99) Get Deal (opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

Though it's been at this price for a while, this self-emptying Roomba for under $300 is easily our favorite pre-Prime Day Roomba deal. The i1 and i2 Series Roombas were skipped during iRobot's recent software update to lower-tier Roombas that added room mapping. However, this isn't a major deal for smaller spaces and will save you $100 (give or take) over the i3+. The i1+ still maintains wall-to-wall coverage by cleaning in neat rows and honing in on dirtier spots.

  • Dirt Detect cleans dirtier spots more thoroughly

  • 90-minute battery life

  • Self-emptying dock holds 60 days' worth of debris

Robot vacuums under $800

Why we like it

Full transparency: We weren't completely sure if the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ was worth the splurge at its full price of $1,299.99. (That's what it's going for at Samsung's website right now.) But Amazon nearly halving that price could convince us.

Samsung's most expensive robovac combines the best features of the two most expensive Roombas. Like the j7+, the Jet Bot AI+ uses an array of 3D sensors to avoid small obstacles that other robot vacuums usually eat, like cords and pet toys. Like the s9+, the Jet Bot AI+ has one flat edge that offers detailed corner cleaning and wall trailing. The AI+ doesn't mop, but it does bring aboard a live-streaming pet camera that few competitors have.

  • Room mapping, zone cleaning, and small obstacle avoidance

  • 90-minute battery life

  • Self-emptying dock holds at least two months' worth of debris

Robot mops and robot vacuum/mop hybrids

Opens in a new tab Credit: Roborock Our pick: Roborock S8 (opens in a new tab) $599.99 at Amazon (save $150 with on-page coupon) Get Deal (opens in a new tab)

Why we like it:

Spring 2023 marked (another) new era for Roborock with the release of the S8 series — and two models are already on sale. Compared to one of our previous-favorite hybrids, the S7, the S8 introduces AI-powered obstacle avoidance, amped suction power, and dual roller brushes underneath. Roborock says that those last two improvements lead to a 30% increase in hair pickup.
