Robot vacuums are on sale all the time. But this holiday shopping weekend, there have been some fairly significant price drops, which are rolling over from Black Friday into Cyber Monday. These include rarely reduced flagship models like Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra and iRobot’s Combo 10 Max. If you’ve been holding out on trying the latest and greatest, now is a good time to dive in.

Deep discounts are also available on some of our favorite midrange and budget bots from Shark and Eufy, and iRobot is slashing prices on its entire line. Read on for our rundown on the best deals on robotic floor cleaners this holiday shopping weekend.

Shark’s latest robot vacuum is down to an all-time low of $699.99 ($500 off) at Amazon and SharkNinja’s online storefront. The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop can lift its chassis 20mm to get over rugs and room transitions, and remove its mop to vacuum carpet. We’ve just started testing it, but so far, it’s been very impressive. At $700, this top-of-the-line robot that can empty its own bin and refill its mopping reservoir is a serious bargain, as long as you can run it when you’re not home. As with all Shark robovacs, it’s very loud. (Oh, and it twerks.)

With top-notch vacuuming performance, an easy-to-use app, and built-in voice control, the S8 MaxV Ultra is a superb vacuum and good mop. It features Roborock’s best obstacle avoidance, innovative features like dirt detection, and a hands-free dock that makes it an expensive but excellent choice.

Eufy’s unique-looking Omni S1 Pro Robot Vacuum is down to$999.99 from $1,499.99 at Amazon and Eufy’s site (with the onpage coupon WS24T2080111). The killer feature here is a roller mop that self-cleans as it cleans your floors. The robot’s square shape means it covers a lot of surface area. The tall, futuristic charging station refills the mopping reservoir and empties the bin.
Another favorite bot with a roller mop is the SwitchBot S10. You can get it directly from SwitchBot for an all-time low $664.99 ($535) using promo code BFCM535, but shipping times may be delayed. It’s also available at Amazon for $699.99 ($500 off) if you want to be sure of its arrival date. If you can hook its separate water station up to your plumbing (easier than it sounds!), this is the self-emptying robot vacuum / mop combo to get. Read our review for all the details.

With a handy ability to remove and reattach its mop pads, the Dreame X40 solves the problem of vacuuming carpets while also mopping hard floors. Its mops can also swing out and under low furniture, getting where most bots can’t reach. An extendable side brush helps get dirt out of corners and a whopping 12,000Pa of suction makes this a great vac.

The L20 Ultra is a great all-around bot that can remove its mop pads to vacuum carpet and do the splits with its mops to better clean your baseboards. It has 7,000Pa suction, a bigger base station, and fewer advanced cleaning features than the newer X30 and X40 Ultra models, but it’s still an excellent robot vacuum.

Amazon and Narwal are selling the Narwal Freo X Ultra for $799.99 ($600 off), which is the best price to date on this terrific mopping bot. It uses triangular mopping pads and has an innovative dirt sense feature that sends the bot back to re-clean very dirty spots. It doesn’t have a loud auto-empty base, instead it compresses dirt in its bin, so you can go up to three months between emptying chores. Read our review.

The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1, a previous pick for best mid-range auto empty vacuum and mop, is selling for $350 off at Best Buy and Amazon — down to $349.99. The Matrix mops very well, doing a swingy, scrubbing movement with its rear end, and it can auto empty, but it only self-empties in vacuum mode — you have to manually fill and attach the mop reservoir and empty the bin when it mops.

The very good midrange Eufy’s X10 Pro Omni is $250 off, down to $549.99, its best price to date, at Amazon and Eufy’s online storefront (with promo code WS24T2351). With great obstacle recognition, dual spinning mops, and a sleek auto-empty / mop refill station, the X10 is a solid option at this price.

With a big 770ml bin and 5,500Pa of suction power, the Q5 Pro is a great budget option. It has a removable mopping pad with a small built-in water tank, dual rubber brushes, lidar mapping, and keep-out zones, making it an excellent cleaning machine. It uses Roborock’s very good app and can pair with an auto-empty dock for extra convenience.

The Roborock Q5 Pro Plus — that’s with the auto-empty dock — is on sale at Walmart for $329.99 (down from $699.99), an all-time low. If emptying the robot’s bin is a chore you want to avoid as much as possible, the extra $190 will buy you that convenience.
The Roborock Q8 Max is on sale for $259.99 ($340 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Roborock’s store, which is a record low price. It offers better object avoidance and mopping than the Q5 Pro for its additional cost. The trade-off is a smaller dustbin that makes room for a bigger water tank for mopping. If you’re cleaning spills more frequently than your carpets need vacuuming, it may be worth the jump. You can also get the Q8 Max Plus on sale for an all-time low $419.99 ($400 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which adds a self-emptying base to help save time between cleanings.
The Roborock Q Revo is down to a new all-time low $539.99 ($360 off) at Amazon. It’s not our favorite mid-range robot vacuum that doubles as a mopper as it lacks AI for obstacle avoidance, and there’s no heat-assisted drying. That said, it’s a solid alternative to the Eufy X10 Pro Omni mentioned above in case that deal goes away.

The smallest robot vac on the block, the K10 Plus, doesn’t compare to the other bots here in terms of performance, but if you have a small space where other vacs can’t get to, it’s better than nothing. It’s also very quiet, making it ideal for small spaces like home offices and bedrooms or a very small studio apartment.

Our pick for the best budget robot vacuum and mop, the Dreame D10 Plus, is on sale at Amazon and Dreame’s online storefront for $259.99 ($140 off), an all-time low. It’s a solid vacuum that can mop and self-empty. The lidar-equipped bot can also map your home and lets you add keep-out zones, which is a rare feature at this price point.

The Combo j9 Plus is our favorite Roomba robot vacuum. The first Roomba that can refill its own mop tank and empty its own bin, its redesigned dock that doubles as a table. Neat! It has increased suction power and a new SmartScrub feature that moves back and forth to mop more effectively.

The Roomba Combo 10 Max is matching its all-time low of around $999 ($400 off) directly from Amazon, iRobot, and Best Buy. The new flagship model from iRobot has all the same features as the j9 Combo, plus a new dock that can clean and dry the robot’s mop, refill its water tank, and empty its bin.

At over 50 percent off, the Roomba j7 Plus is a great deal for our former top Roomba pick. It features obstacle avoidance that allows it to navigate around furniture and smaller objects that it deems hazardous. In addition to cleaning on a set schedule, the j7 can jump to work via voice commands or the Roomba app. Read our review.

This mopping Roomba is as good as the j7 Plus, with the bonus of a retractable mop on top that can polish your hard floors as it vacuums. It’s great at avoiding obstacles, features good battery life, and includes an auto-emptying docking station. Read our review.

The Roomba Combo i5 Plus is also down to $299 ($251 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is its second-best price to date. The robot vacuum offers most of the same features as our favorite budget robovac, the Roomba i3 Evo, which cleans almost as well as the j7 but lacks obstacle avoidance and virtual keep-out zones. Unlike the i3 Evo, though, the Combo i5 Plus has basic mopping and a more compact auto-empty dock. That being said, it can’t lift its mop when it encounters carpet like the higher-end Combo models.
The midrange Roomba Combo j5 Plus is $399 ($331 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, $50 shy of its best price to date. The robot vacuum/mop hybrid is similar to the i5 Plus, but it adds AI-powered obstacle avoidance, keep-out zones, and no-mop zones for easier cleaning.
If you really want to save money, the budget-friendly Roomba Combo Essential vacuum and mopis on sale for $157 ($117 off) at Amazon and $3 more directly from iRobot. The robovac / mop hybrid is the successor to iRobot’s long-running budget bot, the Roomba 694, with increased suction power and longer battery life.
