Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner no matter who you are, but acting on this deal could mean a brand new robot vacuum is just around your corner, figuratively and literally.
The iRobot Roomba 692 is on sale for $179.99(opens in a new tab) at Amazon, marking a $120 price drop that brings this robot vac within $5 of its lowest price ever.
Robot vacuums can cost you anywhere from $300 to $1000 (or more). This one’s price would be suspiciously low if this Roomba claimed to have all the fancy bells and whistles of its $700-plus counterparts. But if you’re more in the market for a vacuum that provides that super-easy everyday clean that only a robot vacuum can, we did deem this Roomba the most reliable budget-friendly Roomba out there. App scheduling means you can start cleans from basically anywhere, or set the times and never think about it again. (It’s also compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa).
Over time, it’ll learn the areas of your home that need a little more love with Dirt Detect, and offer personalized cleaning schedules. And yes, it can handle different floor types.
When it comes to getting rid of all traces of pet hair, it might not be the best pick. You should also be prepared for a very so-so battery life. But for an everyday robot vac that doesn’t break the bank, paying under $200 for the iRobot Roomba 692(opens in a new tab) is hard to beat.
