Some of the most beneficial smart home advancements have come in the category of robot vacuums. Thanks to today's deal, you can save $400 on our favorite Roomba model, the Roomba Combo j9+, spending $999 instead of the usual price of $1,399. While it's not an inexpensive robot vacuum by any means, it's an impressive robot that not only vacuums your floors but mops them too.
Mashable senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart is an expert on robot vacuums an found this model to the very best Roomba in 2024 and one of the only negatives she mentions is the high price, which is significantly discounted at Amazon this week.
In addition to the impressive performance both in vacuuming and mopping, the Roomba Combo j9+ is a dream when it comes to smart home tech since you can set it to clean on a specific schedule and forget about it for up to 30 days. Its charging dock also serves as a self-empty station that shouldn't need attention much more than once per month.
