The Best Prime Day Robot Vacuum Deals: Save Up To 65% On Top Brands
Amazon Prime Day is in full swing, and some of the best deals we've spotted are on smart appliances, including robot vacuums and mops. Our expert deals editors have scoured the e-tailer to find the best Prime Day robot vacuum deals available now, including serious savings on some of our top tested picks: Take 34% off the Shark Ion, for example, which our editors named the best robot vacuum for pet hair on hardwood floors. Or save a whopping 49% on the iRobot Roomba Plus 504, a popular robot vacuum-and-mop combo with dual spinning pads that conveniently self-empties. Our editors have found the best Prime Day robot vacuum deals, including savings of up to 50% on ... More models from Shark, iRobot and more. Illustration: Forbes / Photo: Retailers All of the deals listed below are some of the best discounts we've seen on these models this year, or they're on sale for all-time low prices. If you're looking for more Prime Day deals to shop, check out our roundup of the best Amazon Prime Day 2025 deals for other sales to take advantage of across all shopping categories. Why we like it: It's rare to find a robot vacuum-and-mop combo from a reputable brand like Roborock that's priced well under $200. At just $160 for Prime Day, you'll enjoy the Q7 M5's powerful 10,000 Pa suction, simultaneous vacuuming and mopping, and Roborock's outstanding mapping capabilities. This affordable bundle also comes with a docking station, making it a great choice for apartments or smaller homes. Why we like it: Shark's Ion Robot Vacuum garnered a spot on our list of the best robot vacuums for pet owners based on its prowess at capturing tricky pet hair on hardwood floors. It makes up for its lack of advanced features with a slim, low-profile, three-brush system, cliff-detection technology and two-hour runtime. The Shark Ion's average market price is around $196, so while this isn't the steepest discount we've seen all year, it's still a worthwhile buy for pet owners new to robot vacuums. Why we like it: One of the best-performing robot vacuums we tested, the Eufy RoboVac G30 is a little over 30% off. The catch: It's a refurbished model. But we think even a renewed version of the RoboVac that's in excellent condition is worth the purchase. This model is slim, quiet, smart home capable and offers smart-mapping technology. Our tester notes, 'It was the only robot able to slither under a mid-century desk I keep in my living room, something I didn't think was possible. It's slimmer than the other vacuums, so it's able to clean under furniture that other robots can't.' Why we like it: The Eufy X10 Pro Omni frees you from the responsibility of mopping with its MopMaster 2.o technology. The mop applies downward pressure while rotating at 180 RPM, all while remaining gentle enough to use on hardwood floors. The X10 Pro Omni is nearly 50% off at $500, and is $50 less than its previous lowest price. Why we like it: This ultra-quiet robot mop by iRobot, unlike the brand's dedicated robot vacuums, has a smaller form factor and is a lot more unobtrusive. It's also available in two colorways; the White color is steeply discounted by 65%, bringing this model down to just $159. (It's going quickly, though, so if you've always wanted a mop to pair with your Roomba, now's the time.) Why we like it: For pet owners with carpeted or multi-floor homes, this bundled sale is a steal. The Q5 Max+ clinched a spot on our list of top robot vacuums for pet hair due to its power (5,500 Pa is higher than average), spacious, self-emptying base, precise multi-level mapping, a longer-than-average runtime of 240 minutes and dual brushes. This particular bundle also includes two side-brush replacements; you'll save $170 more than you would if you bought them separately. Why we like it: This intelligent Roomba vacuum is both chic and intelligent: It uses LiDar to precisely map your home, then uses AI technology and advanced sensors to detect and navigate around obstacles, determine whether a large mess needs another pass, and avoid cliffs. This machine crunches data, too, remembering which rooms need the most frequent cleaning and which settings work best. It's almost 50% off in this Amazon Prime-exclusive deal—almost $300 less than the lowest price we've ever seen on a new model. The Roomba Y0140 from iRobot is a great starter combo robot vacuum for those new to the technology. It includes a washable, textured pad made from microfiber that remains moist while you clean, thanks to the micro pump controlling water flow. Choose from three different mopping levels and use the spot-clean setting for areas that need extra attention. Why it's a good deal: This isn't the lowest price we've seen, but it's still a few dollars off on a truly stellar robot vacuum. An upgrade to the Q5 Max+ (our home editors' pick for the best pet hair robot vacuum on carpet), this vacuum and mop model from Roborock uses LiDAR to scan and build a map of your home, finding the best route for seamless navigation and effective cleaning. You can create and store maps for up to three levels, as well as easily set boundaries and off-limit areas—a feature frequently highlighted by reviewers. Why it's a good deal: At 42% off, this is the lowest recorded price we've seen on Amazon. The Roborock Q8 Max is especially helpful if you have pets, spacious floors or frequent messes to clean up. That's thanks to its incredibly powerful suction of 5500 Pas (2000-plus Pa more than the average model). It also has dual rubber brushes that pick up more hair with fewer tangles, and it smoothly moves between vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors. Why it's a good deal: This is the lowest price we've seen on Amazon for this model; it's also $30 lower than sale prices we've seen elsewhere. MOST POPULAR This Shark model is our home team's favorite Shark robot vacuum, making this steep discount a particularly great deal. Its advanced features include the Matrix Clean navigation system, which follows a precise grid to cover every inch of your floors without repeating areas. The brush roll is also designed to handle pet hair without tangling it, making this device ideal for pet owners who frequently vacuum carpets or rugs due to shedding. Why it's a good deal: This sale price is only $3 more than its all-time low on Amazon. The Eufy C10 is popular for its impressive suction power and laser-guided navigation, both uncommon features for this price point. It also includes a self-emptying base with a 60-day capacity dust bag, capabilities that are usually reserved for pricier models as well. This is an excellent option if you're looking for a robot vacuum with higher-end features but want to stick to a lower budget. Why it's a good deal: At $230, it's now $30 below its previous all-time low price. Ecovacs' powerful Deebot T30S vacuum-mop combo is already a good purchase when it's not on sale; now slashed $500 on sale, this deal is too good to pass up. With 11000 Pa, its suction power towers above the average robot vacuum, and it doesn't skimp on other nice-to-have features like anti-tangle brushes, automatic mop-lifting, AI-powered navigation and obstacle avoidance. It also comes with a self-emptying and self-refilling dock. Why it's a good deal: At $500 for Prime Day, it's now $50 below its previous lowest sale price.

Our editors have reported on the best robot vacuums and the best robot vacuums for pet hair, researching models and testing them firsthand.

This article was written by senior branded content editor Victoria Hess, who has over a decade of commerce experience. Home and kitchen editor Kelly O'Sullivan provided additional support. Kelly has spent more than a decade covering home products and appliances. (Check out her comparison story on Shark versus iRobot's vacuums.) We routinely check deals to verify that they're still live, and use a price checker to ensure the deals we've found are worthwhile. We'll continue to update this article to keep it accurate. What Is The Best Robot Vacuum? After testing a variety of options, we named the iRobot Roomba S9+ the best robot vacuum overall, due to its excellent suction power, self-emptying capability and 60-day dustbin capacity. While this robot vacuum is not on sale for Amazon Prime Day, many other Forbes Vetted editor-approved picks are, including the Eufy RoboVac G30 (at 30% off). When is Amazon Prime Day 2025? Amazon Prime Day 2025 began on Tuesday, July 8 and runs through Friday, July 11 (the longest the event has ever lasted). There are plenty of great deals to take advantage of across a range of categories, including consumer tech, home, beauty and more, with new opportunities to save every day of the sale. Amazon Prime Day 2025 ends on Friday, July 11 at 11:59 p.m. PDT (2:59 a.m. EDT).

Copper Traders Rush Metal to Hawaii to Capture Mega Tariff Trade
Copper traders racing to get cargoes into the US are looking to shift deliveries into Hawaii and Puerto Rico to cut shipment times, as Donald Trump's plan for 50% tariffs threatens to slam the door on a hugely profitable arbitrage trade that has gripped the industry for months. New York futures prices spiked to a roughly 25% premium over international benchmark prices in the wake of Trump's announcement, which means that traders who can deliver metal into the US before the new levies stand to capture an even larger profit — or face big losses if the clock runs out.
