BEST DEALS LIVE RIGHT NOW

As far as we’re concerned, Black Friday started days ago — and the deals have been coming in hot ever since.

The internet is fully inundated with sales for the year’s biggest shopping event, but we’ve been picking out the very best ones and relaying them back to you, because we know how stressful it can be to find exactly what you want with all the Black Friday craziness going on. 

If you’ve got your eyes on a robot vacuum this year, we’ve got you covered — there are a ton of them already on sale right now. We’re seeing big discounts on heavy-hitters like Roomba and Shark, but there are also plenty of deals across the Ecovacs, Eufy, Neato, and Samsung brands. Pro tip: If you want to get the best robot vacuum you can, then look for one with some sort of “self-emptying” function — aka the future of robot vacuums. This means that you’ll have to spring for a more expensive model (which isn’t ideal, we know), but if you go the cheap route, we promise you’ll be disappointed. 

Here are some of our favorites that you can get at the moment:

Remember what we said about self-emptying functions just a minute ago? Here’s a great pick. 

Once this Shark model makes its rounds, it returns to its home base and empties itself out into a collection container — the base can reliably hold up to 30 days worth of dirt and debris, so you’ll only have to dump it once per month. Talk about raising the bar on convenience, right? The R1001AE also has the most powerful suction of all the Shark R-model devices, a self-cleaning brush roll (no more hair tangles), and total home mapping that basically memorizes the layout of your space. Grab one on Amazon for Black Friday and save $170.

This is the biggest discount we’re seeing right now ($500 off? Seriously?). The Samsung Powerbot really shines when it comes to mapping — its sensors are really great at avoiding obstacles and keeping the device from wandering aimlessly around your living room, cleaning the same spot again and again. Its CycloneForce suction helps eliminate clogging, and its unique Point Cleaning feature allows you to mark very specific areas that you want the Powerbot to focus on.

(And peep that sleek copper finish.)

Finally, Roomba — it’s the brand that all of us recognize. While this model doesn’t have the steepest discount (just $100.99 off at Walmart), we rarely ever see it go on sale. So, the time to get this usually $1,000+ robot vacuum is now. Its got that sweet self-emptying base, is ideal for picking up pet hair, has a stellar mapping system with special “keep out zone” markers, and a high-efficiency allergen filter. Hook it up with your smart speaker assistant to achieve ultimate smart home vibes. 

As we said, these are the early Black Friday deals, so what can you expect to find on the actual big day? 

The truth: Mostly more of the same. You can pretty much rest assured that these exact deals will carry on being the best well into the official Black Friday sales. Shark, Roomba, Ecovacs, Eufy, Samsung, Neato, and more will all be present, just probably not at a cheaper price than we’ve already found.

That means that you really don’t have to hold out for something better — if you’ve decided you’re definitely getting a robot vacuum this year, do it right now.
