If you want your home cleaned by a robot that leaves you as little work as possible, Wellbots has a deal for you.

Unveiled this summer, the (deep breath) Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot AutoWash Dock is iRobot's most advanced (and expensive) robot vacuum to date. Although its 1,399 MSRP prices it out of most homes, this deal makes it more reasonable for folks who don't mind splurging for a cutting-edge cleaner that lets you spend your time doing something fun.

The Morning After: Amazon buys the company behind Roomba robot vacuums

Engadget

Amazon made a $1.7 billion offer for iRobot, the company that makes Roomba robot vacuums, mops and other household robots. The deal will keep Colin Angle as iRobot's CEO but is still contingent on the approval of regulators and iRobot shareholders. Founded in 1990 by MIT researchers, the company initially focused on military robots like PackBot. It marked a major turning point in 2002 when it unveiled the first Roomba -- the debut robovac racked up sales of a million units by 2004. The company eventually bowed out of the military business in 2016.

Amazon is buying iRobot, the creator of the Roomba robot vacuum

Engadget

Amazon just took a big step toward cornering the market for household robots. The company has reached a deal to acquire iRobot, the creator of Roomba robot vacuums. The purchase is worth $1.7 billion in cash and will maintain Colin Angle as iRobot's CEO. The two firms didn't say when they expected the deal to close, but that will depend on the approval of both iRobot shareholders and regulators. Amazon Devices Senior VP Dave Limp focused on iRobot's ability to "reinvent how people clean," and said he looked forward to inventing products.
