SAVE $100: As of Tuesday, Jan 17, the iRobot Roomba i3 EVO(opens in a new tab) is on sale on Amazon for $249. That's over $100 off its listed price of $349.99 — a savings of 29%.


Pet lovers, unite: We all know how frustrating it can be to find your fur baby's hair all over the carpet, between the couch cushions, and (ugh!) even on your bed. And while you love your pet to bits, cleaning all that pet hair takes way too much time and effort.

Thankfully, there's an affordable solution: The iRobot Roomba i3 EVO(opens in a new tab), which is a portable robot vacuum that boasts all the power you need to clean those pesky pet hairs with ease. This mid-range model from iRobot comes equipped with thoughtful features like a three-stage cleaning system — though it doesn't include mopping like some of the pricier models do.

This Roomba also has a smart mapping feature, which lets it learn the contours of your home to find the most effective cleaning routes. It can even recalibrate when you move furniture! If you leave the house often, you can use the iRobot app to schedule your deep cleans around your schedule, with the option to control it with your voice — the robovac is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant.

Instead of using a single bristle brush, Roomba i3 EVO uses Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes that flex to adjust to different floor types and avoid getting tangled with pet hair. This feature makes it the best affordable choice for pet owners. But honestly, the most convenient feature of the iRobot Roomba i3 EVO(opens in a new tab) is its self-emptying ability: Once it's docked, it'll clear out its dirt reservoir into its base, and then all you need to do is clean out the base regularly. Low effort, clean home: Just what every pet owner needs.
