Black Friday is a great time to pick up big-ticket items while they're deeply discounted, and robot vacuums fit that bill this year. It's not hard to drop hundreds on an autonomous dirt-sucker at any other time of the year, but Black Friday deals have discounted a bunch of our favorite models. Before snagging a deal, think about the type of home you have and how you'll use the machine: do you have carpet or mostly hard flooring? Do you have pets who shed constantly? Do you want a combo vacuum-and-mop machine?

Roombas come in a variety of models ideally suited to your needs. Purchases you make through our links may earn us a commission. If you're one of the many Americans who spends roughly six hours a week cleaning your home, it's high time you get yourself a robot vacuum to do the work for you. Black Friday is one of the best times to save big on the handy floor cleaner, like our favorite robot vacuum, the iRobot Roomba i7 . Retailers like Amazon and Walmart are offering savings of up to $251 on select robot vacuum models from brands like iRobot, Bissell, Shark, and more.
