Black Friday is a great time to buy a new robot vacuum. At this point, the market is quite saturated, and brands are releasing new models at a rapid pace. That means there are plenty of discounts about, as brands vie for your custom. It also means there are opportunities to pick up discounts on ‘older’ models that are actually still very new in the grand scheme of things.
As TechRadar’s Homes Editor for floorcare, I’ve tested out many of the best robot vacuums on the market, and I have a good idea of how the different brands match up. I’ve scoured through all the robovac deals in the early Black Friday sales to find the ones that offer the best value for money. Read on for my top recommendations…

Today’s best robot vacuum Black Friday deals
If you’re looking for a wallet-friendly robot vacuum, this is one of my top recommendations – and it’s even better value right now with $60 off. It’s simple but effective, and the auto-empty base means you won’t have to empty it manually quite so often. I gave it a solid 4* in my Roborock Q7 M5 review.View Deal
There’s $200 off this advanced Eufy robot vacuum in the early Black Friday sales. My tester called this robovac “almost perfect” in our Eufy X10 Pro Omni review, praising the excellent mopping and intuitive app in particular.View Deal
There’s a massive $600 off this Roborock bot ahead of Black Friday. This model scored a near-perfect 4.5* in our Roborock Qrevo Slim review, with our tester calling out the extensive feature list and effective cleaning – you’re getting an awful lot for your money with this price-drop. View Deal
The L50 Ultra has had a $400 price cut ahead of Black Friday. This price has cropped up before in Lightning deals, but it never sticks around long and it’s never been bettered. This is one of Dreame’s most advanced robovacs, with a ton of cutting-edge tech including feet for scaling tall room thresholds, and a dock that uses hot water to clean the mop pads thoroughly.View Deal
Another high-end bot with an enormous price cut – there’s $600 off the X9 Pro Omni in this limited-time Amazon deal. Previously, the lowest price on this model was $950, so you really getting a steal here. The USP here is a roller mop that cleans itself as it mops, rather than smearing spillages around (as static mop pads can do). View Deal
The Roborock Qrevo CurvX has a massive 43% off in Amazon’s early Black Friday sales, matching the lowest-ever price on this model. This is one of Roborock’s newer robovacs, and is ultra-capable, reliable and jam-packed with special cleaning features. View Deal
This Qrevo Series bot has 38% off list price ahead of Black Friday, which matches the cheapest-ever price I’ve seen on this model. It’s a more basic option in the Roborock range, but still reliable and a very capable cleaner. View Deal
There are plenty more robot vacuum deals about this Black Friday season, but exercise caution when making your purchasing decision. I’d steer clear of obscure brands you’ve never heard of, no matter how cheap they might be – a bot that doesn’t do as its told and can’t be relied upon to do a thorough cleaning job is a waste of money at any price.
I personally would also be very wary of buying a Roomba this year. It looks like parent company iRobot might be going under, which means long-term support might be non-existent.
