If you’ve been debating whether to buy a Roomba robot vacuum but were hesitating because of the price tag, today might be the day to take the plunge. Amazon’s Deals of the Day for Tuesday include the Buy at Amazon , some $120 off the normal price. This is about $40 cheaper than we’ve seen it anywhere else.

iRobot recently released the 675, the newest model of this particular line, which adds new dirt-detecting sensors. As a result, the 671’s are going on sale at deeper and deeper discounts, giving those of us with shallower pockets a great opportunity to pick up a top-tier entry-level robot vacuum.

The 671 is missing dirt detection technology as we mentioned above, but you’ll still get a decent clean out of it thanks to dual multi-surface brushes and an edge-sweeping brush. And you’ll still get iRobot’s iAdapt Navigation with a full suite of sensors that comes in its midrange models.

In a lot of other entry-level robots, we’ve noticed intelligent navigation is lacking. If your vacuum isn’t taking an optimal path through the room, chances are it’s also not cleaning as well as it should. iAdapt uses the robot’s sensors to make a map of the room while it vacuums, making sure every nook and cranny is passed over along its route.

The Roomba 671 has a run time of about 90 minutes, and you can schedule when the Roomba should run, and after it’s done it will automatically return to its charger. It is also controllable via app and Alexa — something other entry-level robot vacuums often don’t include.

Should you want a little more control, iRobot has several options, which Amazon has special offers on. One step up is the Roomba 690, which is Buy at Amazon . With that model you gain the ability to create invisible walls to keep your robot in a specific area (or conversely, out of specific areas). Stepping up to Buy at iRobot gives you five times the suction, with the ability to recharge and resume cleaning an entire floor at a time. Right now, the 960 is $200 off, and only $499 at Amazon.

My Lawn Used to be a Never-Ending Weekend Job Until the LEBOSBO V3 Took Over

The revolutionized yard care solution that acts less like a machine and more like a helping hand

Grass, Lawn, Plant

I used to think tedious lawn maintenance was simply one of those unwritten rules of homeownership, a chore you quietly accept and force yourself to deal with every weekend. I would promise myself I’d quickly get it done, only for it to spiral into hours of work. Instead of enjoying slow summer weekends outdoors, I often found myself dragging a mower through the heat, edging borders, bagging endless clippings, and dealing with equipment that somehow always demanded more effort than expected. Even after sacrificing an entire Saturday morning, the yard rarely stayed looking sharp for more than a few days.

That frustration eventually pushed me toward smarter lawn care solutions. The problem was that most robotic lawn mowers I came across did not feel all that smart. Between burying messy perimeter wires, dealing with bulky installations, and watching machines bounce around the yard like confused pinballs, the entire setup often looked more exhausting than the mowing itself. I direly sought some respite, and that's exactly why LEBOSBO stood out to me.

YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra: redefining what robot vacuums should actually clean

The real problem with robot vacuums is not navigation anymore

Electronics, Speaker

YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra enters a category that has already refined navigation, mapping, and basic automation to a point where daily dust cleaning is predictable and reliable. The expectation from a robot vacuum today is no longer about whether it can move efficiently through a home, but whether it can handle the kind of mess that defines real, everyday use. Floors accumulate dried spills, sticky residue, and layered grime that cannot be removed through suction or light mopping alone, and these conditions continue to expose a limitation that has persisted across the category. Users still find themselves stepping in before or after a cleaning cycle, either by manually scrubbing problem areas or by running multiple passes to reach an acceptable result, which defeats the purpose of automation in the first place.

This is the gap YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra is designed to address, approaching robotic cleaning through stain treatment and surface recovery rather than simply increasing suction or expanding coverage. The product’s focus on solving persistent real-world cleaning limitations has also earned it the Digital Spotlight Award, reinforcing its positioning within a category that is increasingly shifting towards more intelligent and outcome-driven automation.

Home Decor, Adult, Female

Robot vacuums have reached a point where expectations are no longer limited to basic cleaning.

As Narwal’s first major mid-range release of 2026, the Freo Z10 Turbo is positioned to bridge the gap between affordability and high-end capability.
