Tis the season for a new robot vacuum. If you’re in need of an automated helper to keep your floors clean, you’ll generally find the best deals in the fall, and Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t disappoint. Lots of brands from our regularly updated list of best robot vacuums are offering big discounts, including iRobot, Ecovacs, Roborock, Shark, Eufy, and Dreame.
As a rule of thumb, look for something from a reputable brand. Recent models from Ecovacs and Dreame have earned high ratings in our reviews, and our readers love Eufy and Shark. Also, make sure the vacs have the features you want, as you’ll be paying a couple hundred dollars at least and don’t want buyers’ remorse. A self-emptying dustbin is one of our must-have features, especially if you're allergic to dust. A vacuum that also mops can add a lot of convenience to your cleaning routine if you have a mix of carpet and hard flooring. Most of these features come at a premium, but now is a great time to buy a high-end model for less than MSRP.
During big sales events like October Prime Day or Black Friday, look for a discount of at least 30%. Less than that, and you’re likely to stumble on a similar discount at any time of the year with a little patience.
Even within these general guidelines, you might still notice lots of deals and struggle to decide which one to pick. I review robot vacuums for a living and am here to help. In fact, as I type this story, I'm keeping one eye on a robot vacuum I'm testing as it cleans a mess of rice that I spread along the wall (check out all the details of our testing procedure here). Below, I’ll highlight the best deals I find that meet all of the criteria above and also strike me as a particularly strong value on standout models.
This Prime Day, one of our favorite robot vacuums gets a big discount. The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is currently 43% off, bringing it down to $854.99 from its $1,499.99 MSRP.
Even better, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni is among the best robot vacuums regardless of price. It vacuums and mops thoroughly, works efficiently, empties its own dustbin, cleans its own mops, and has a long battery life. This is an attractive discount on an excellent robot vacuum that truly does it all.

iRobot Roomba is rightfully one of the most popular robot vacuum brands, and the company is offering big discounts on tons of models. While you probably can’t go wrong with any of Roomba’s deals, the best one is for budget shoppers looking to get a steal.
The iRobot Roomba i3+ Evo is already a good value at its $549.99 list price. It maps your home, cleans efficiently, and after the run, it empties its own dustbin into its base station. For Prime Day, it's just $249.99, which is 55% off. That sticker puts it below the normal price of the Editors’ Choice winning $274.99 Roomba Combo Essential, which is also on sale, but at a much smaller discount and that model doesn’t have advanced navigation or a self-emptying dustbin. Now’s your chance to get a strong midrange model for a budget price.
As an honorable mention, the Eufy X10 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop is on sale for $549.99, a solid 31% off its $799.99 list price. We haven't tested this particular model, but it comes from our readers' favorite robot vacuum brand for 2024. It empties its own dustbin, washes its own mops, and lifts its mops higher than the Deebot X2 Omni.
