Amazon's winter sales are still going on with discounts of up to 40% on tech, including iRobot's popular robotic vacuums. You can get the iRobot Roomba Vac (Q0120) for $148.99 (was $249.99), which barely beats its record-breaking Black Friday price.
The iRobot Roomba Q0120 offers a lot of value as an entry-level robot vacuum, something to start with if you're not sure how much you'll like it compared to conventional vacuums. It's a multi-purpose robot vacuum cleaner that works on most surfaces and can even reach into corners with its brush to sweep the edges. The easy setup and Alexa compatibility also make it ideal for homeowners who don't want to spend too much time customizing their cleaning routine.

The iRobot Roomba Q0120 works with a 3-stage system with three different suction levels for surfaces from wood to carpet. Its built-in sensors help you maneuver around furniture and stairs to minimize obstacles that could block your path. The iRobot Home app also suggests cleaning schedules and reports which areas your Roomba successfully cleaned while you were away.
Many robot vacuum cleaners in the same price range require batteries, so their rechargeability also stands out. It can last up to 120 minutes on a charge and returns to its charging station when low on battery.
Our vacuum expert recommended this model in addition to its 2-in-1 mop variation during Black Friday last year, in part because of its excellent value for money. That being said, you get what you pay for. If you prefer a vacuum with more suction power or tend to pets more, you may want to check out our best robot vacuums for pet hair.
