Keep your floors sparkling this holiday season with a new Roomba
As some of the first robot vacuums on the market, iRobot Roombas have set the bar by which all other robot vacs are judged. But while they often have the strongest suction and most advanced navigation, they usually have the highest prices, too. With so many Cyber Monday Roomba deals bringing big savings, it's the perfect time to hand off your vacuuming duties for good.
The BestReviews Testing Lab has tested dozens of Roombas, and we’re excited to see deals on some of our favorite models, including the powerful s9+ and the versatile Roomba i7+, which are both self-emptying and self-charging.

FAQ
How effective are Roombas on carpet?
Most of the Roombas we tested did a solid job on carpeting, but suction power varies among models. The i- and j-series robots offer 10 times the suction as the 600 series, while the s series provide an impressive 40 times the power. If your home has heavy carpeting, opt for an i, j or s series Roomba. For homes with more hard flooring than carpeting, nearly any model will do.
How long do Roomba’s batteries last?
Battery life varies among models, but our testing found that most Roombas can clean for 75 to 120 minutes on a single charge. Models in the i, j, m and s series all have the Recharge and Resume feature, so they return to their base to charge when their battery is low and resume cleaning where they left off after recharging.
Can Roombas avoid obstacles?
Some Roombas offer obstacle avoidance, so they can steer around items like wires, cables, clothing, shoes and even pet waste without running into them. The j-series robots have advanced obstacle avoidance backed by iRobot’s P.O.O.P. (Pet Owner Official Promise), which guarantees the vacuums will recognize and avoid pet waste, or iRobot will replace your robot for free. The s-series robots also offer Careful Drive mode, which uses advanced 3D sensors to detect obstacles and move around them.
