I’ve tested dozens of robot vacuums, but these are the (still live!) Black Friday deals I’d actually buy

Black Friday is one of the best times to buy a robot vacuum. I track and review these devices all year, and the price drops during Cyber Week really are the biggest we see. Black Friday is technically over, so this is the moment to upgrade or grab a new robot vacuum while these deals are still live.

Disclaimer: iRobot is facing potential bankruptcy. While Black Friday deals on Roombas may be tempting, they may carry risk for consumers. This isn't a guarantee, so I'm not excluding iRobot from our deals. If the company files for bankruptcy or, worse, shuts down, users risk facing a lack of support, a potential shortage of replacement parts, and no long-term software updates for their Roombas.

FAQs

When is Black Friday? 

This year, Black Friday is happening on Friday, Nov. 28, while Cyber Monday will be on Monday, Dec. 1. Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving in the US, a holiday that is celebrated on the last Thursday in November. Many employers have historically given workers the Friday after Thanksgiving as a day off, so retailers started featuring discounts to encourage people to do their holiday shopping. 

Are robot vacuums really cheaper during Black Friday? 

Yes, robot vacuums really are cheaper during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Cyber Week is the last big shopping event before the holidays, and also the last one of the year, so many retailers offer steep discounts on their stock to prepare for the new products that will launch in the new year.

How did we choose these Black Friday deals?

I constantly monitor robot vacuum deals as part of my work, so I'm always looking for the best discounts that offer the best combination of features and value. 

As a robot vacuum reviewer, I've tested dozens of models across different brands and every price range -- so I've become very well acquainted with robot vacuums, their features, and their worth. Through this experience, I've realized that the robot vacuum market is currently saturated, and many brands attempt to outcompete one another with significant discounts during shopping events.
