This story is part of the Digital Trends Amazon Prime Day Coverage 2024

You can’t ever gain back time, that’s just reality. Why spend hours on cleaning your home when it can be better spent on something else? That’s why we’re so passionate about robot vacuums since they help give time back to us by doing the bulk of the household cleaning for us. If you haven’t invested in one yet, Amazon should have some Prime Day deals that will make it easy for just about anyone to experience these life-changing marvels. And hey, it might be worth snagging more than one — especially if you have a huge area to cover. While you can expect plenty of Prime Day robot vacuum deals, here are some of the models worth keeping an eye on!

iRobot Roomba i3 Plus

Just as Apple is synonymous with being the premier smartphone maker, iRobot is the equivalent in the robot vacuum space. Out of all the models in its lineup, the iRobot Roomba i3 Plus is the one to consider because it features intelligent navigation that allows it to efficiently clean rooms, offers excellent pickup, and it comes with a self-emptying charging base. Best of all, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg like some of the higher-end bots in iRobot’s portfolio. Even better, the i3 Plus is one of the few models that’s supported by iRobot Genius Home Intelligence, which provides for a more personalized cleaning experience.

Similarly, the Shark IQ R101AE also features a self-emptying charging base that means fewer interactions with the bot after it’s done cleaning — but it’s at a more affordable cost than its rivals. That’s just one of the perks of such a system, mainly because you can go on for days without having to constantly empty out the dustbin after each use. The Shark IQ R101AE improves upon previous iterations with its superior mapping abilities, which allows it to determine various areas for specific cleaning duties. For example, if you just want it to vacuum the living room and nothing else, it can do just that.

Roborock S6 MaxV

Roborock’s reputation has been growing over the last couple of years, and all of its hard work materialized with the Roborock S6 MaxV. It’s one of the few robot vacuums on the market to pack a camera and powered by artificial intelligence (A.I.), enabling it to detect various hazards and avoid them. In fact, it’s smart enough to know the difference between a lone sock on the floor and poop! Even better, it’s a 2-in-1 combo that can mop floors as well. With a myriad of high-end features, it’s tougher for some to bite on buying it because of the premium price. Given that it’s been on the market for a good while now, it’s in desperate need of a discount to make it a bit more affordable.

Eufy RoboVac G30 Hybrid

On the complete other end of the spectrum, there’s the Eufy RoboVac G30 Hybrid. It may not have some of the advanced features as some of the other robot vacuums we’ve mentioned here, but there’s no reason to discount it either because of its affordable cost and comprehensive app experience. It offers the ability to map out your home, so it can clean more efficiently — while also doing double duty as a mop. Unlike some of the other bots in this list, the Eufy RoboVac G30 Hybrid is sleekier, which allows it to clean under low clearance furniture like a couch, sofa, or entertainment center.

Update 10/28/24: This marks the beginning of our drill coverage for 2024's Black Friday shopping season, and all of the major brands have at least one great deal. While we're excited for what is to come, this is a fantastic start and there's really no reason to not go ahead and get prepped by buying something now.
If you're buying anything this Black Friday, there's a big chance you might want a drill/driver to go with it. A drill/driver is one part drill, one part (screw)driver and it can help out in many situations. For example, say you take part in one of these early Black Friday TV deals, you very well might want to wall mount it. Then, say you grab up an easy coffee maker from Keurig's early Black Friday deals. An extra side table in your study would sure go nice with that and a drill/driver could very well make the table's construction much easier.
Really, with so so many of your early Black Friday purchases, there might be a chance to pick up a cordless drill or driver and get to work. As such, we've compiled a list of the best cordless drill deals throughout Black Friday deals that are available now, so you can get a head start on prepping for the savings that are to come.
