UPDATE: Jun. 29, 2023, 5:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated to include the best deals on robot vacuums from iRobot, eufy, and more.
Only three things are certain in life: Death, taxes, and a few days each month when you need to vacuum but just don't have time. Whether you detest the chore or hope to make your home upkeep a bit breezier, a robot vacuum is a lifesaver. Shop models on sale ahead of Prime Day below.
Robot vacuums under $200
Why we like it
You won't get smart mapping at this price point, but the Eufy Clean G40 does provide quite thorough coverage through neat rows, which provides more cleaning accuracy than the bump-and-go approach through gyroscope guidance (hence the "G" in the title). It manages to squeeze out more than an hour of cleaning on Max mode and has suction more than strong enough for hard floors and light carpet upkeep.

Robot vacuums under $500
Why we like it
Though it's been at this price for a while, this self-emptying Roomba for under $300 is easily our favorite pre-Prime Day Roomba deal. The i1 and i2 Series Roombas were skipped during iRobot's recent software update to lower-tier Roombas that added room mapping. However, this isn't a major deal for smaller spaces and will save you $100 (give or take) over the i3+(opens in a new tab). The i1+ still maintains wall-to-wall coverage by cleaning in neat rows and honing in on dirtier spots.

Robot vacuums under $800
Why we like it
Full transparency: We weren't completely sure if the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ was worth the splurge at its full price of $1,299.99. (That's what it's going for at Samsung's website(opens in a new tab) right now.) But Amazon nearly halving that price could convince us.
Samsung's most expensive robovac combines the best features of the two most expensive Roombas. Like the j7+, the Jet Bot AI+ uses an array of 3D sensors to avoid small obstacles that other robot vacuums usually eat, like cords and pet toys. Like the s9+, the Jet Bot AI+ has one flat edge that offers detailed corner cleaning and wall trailing. The AI+ doesn't mop, but it does bring aboard a live-streaming pet camera that few competitors have.

Robot vacuum and mop hybrids and dedicated robot mops
Why we like it
Spring 2023 marked (another) new era for Roborock with the release of the S8 series — and two models are already on sale. Compared to one of our previous-favorite hybrids, the S7, the S8 introduces AI-powered obstacle avoidance, amped suction power, and dual roller brushes underneath. Roborock says that those last two improvements lead to a 30% increase in hair pickup.
