Robot vacuums have become some of the most expensive devices we buy for our homes, but they don’t have to be. The power and convenience of automated cleaning can be had without spending a full paycheck on a robot, especially with the many deals available during Amazon Prime Day and competing sales events at Walmart and Best Buy.
As a robot vacuum tester, I love many robots, but I wouldn’t pay full price for them. Luckily, many robots are often heavily discounted, making them more worth the purchase during an event like Prime Day than otherwise. We test many robot vacuums and robot vacuum and mop combinations at ZDNET, and we’ve gathered the best Prime Day deals so far so you can get the most bang for your hard-earned buck.

Most of the robot vacuum discounts you find around Prime Day are steeper, but not all of them are. The robot vacuum market is very saturated, and the high competition makes for constant markdowns.
