Best robot vacuum deal: Save $170 on iRobot Roomba Vac 2

SAVE $170: As of Dec. 5, the iRobot Roomba Vac 2 is on sale for $229.99 at Amazon. That’s a 43% saving on the list price.

Roomba is one of the most recognizable names in the robot vacuum game, and that’s for good reason. Its top-of-the-range vacuums are the perfect addition to any home, boasting a range of incredible functions and dirt-cleaning features. So it’s no surprise that robot vacuums were one of the most heavily discounted items in the recent Black Friday sales, including the fantastic iRobot Roomba Vac 2.

This model was discounted in Amazon’s Black Friday sale, but it has now dropped further to $229.99, an additional $20 off. This is also the lowest this robot vacuum has ever been priced.

So, what’s special about this model? Well, like most high-end robot vacuums, the Roomba Vac 2 comes with a self-emptying dock that holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris. This is one of our favorite features at Mashable, because you won’t need to empty the vacuum with each use. The whole point of a robot vacuum is to limit your chores, and this does just that.

For thorough cleaning, the powerful three-stage cleaning system gets the job done with four suction levels. This is ideal for tough stains and dirt that won’t disappear with just a light vacuum. It also has a Multi-Surface Bristle Brush and an Edge-Sweeping Brush, perfect for those hard-to-reach corners and awkward edges.

Speaking of awkward edges, the smart navigation in the vacuum will keep it from bumping into things (coffee tables, walls, your feet) and clean your floors in neat rows, a big selling point for fans of vacuum lines.

And let’s not forget, you can schedule all this to start from your phone, just download the iRobot Home App and start a clean from wherever, whenever. Charging can provide up to 120 minutes of runtime, and if it runs out of battery mid-clean, it’ll recharge and pick up the cleaning where it ended.

This deal is only available for a limited time, so head to Amazon now.
