iRobot auto-empty Roomba i8+ knows where it’s vacuuming with first discount to $450 (50% off)

Reg. $900/$450

Today only, as part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the iRobot Roomba i8+ (8550) Wi-Fi Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum for $449.99 shipped. Today’s deal comes in as the first discount that we’ve tracked since launch and also takes 50% off the typical $900 list price. This vacuum is perfect for keeping your home nice and clean as we head into spring. The i8+ will learn your home and navigate right to where the messes are with simple voice commands. You can say something like “Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table” with Alexa or Assistant and it’ll know exactly what to do. Then, after cleaning, it’ll empty itself into the automated dirt disposal system which can hold up to 60 days of debris. So, if you’re looking for a fully automated way to clean your home, this is a great choice all around. Keep reading for more.

Want to save some cash? The ILIFE V3s Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner is a great alternative. It comes in at $114 and gets the job done just the same. Keep in mind there’s no smartphone control, voice commands, full-on mapping, or auto-empty experience here, so it’ll work slightly different than the iRobot model above. However, for those on a budget, this is a great entry-level robot vacuum to keep your home clean this spring.

As ways to automate your home goes, a smart thermostat is a great addition alongside a robot vacuum. Right now, you can pick up ecobee’s HomeKit SmartThermostat on sale for $190. This $30 discount delivers a HomeKit-ready smart thermostat to your door ready to overhaul how your home’s heating and cooling system functions as the weather outside warms up.
