After Walmart could barely scrounge up a noteworthy robot vacuum deal for Walmart+ Week, we’re banking on Amazon even harder to go off on robot vacuum deals for Prime Day.

We’re in good hands, though. Overall, Amazon is already generally the best place to score a robot vacuum on sale at any point during the year, whether that’s a shopping holiday or a random Tuesday in September when your current corded vacuum sends you over the edge. Despite ditching its plans to buy iRobot, Amazon is still the best retailer to find a Roomba on sale, slashing Roomba prices by between 25% to 50% throughout the year. We’re manifesting those same Roombas to reach new record-low pricing as Prime Day nears — ideally, the Roomba Combo j9+ would drop below $800 or the Combo j5+ below $400.

We’re similarly hoping that Prime Day sets the stage for new all-time low prices on other premium robot vacs released at CES 2024 in January. Particularly, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni dropping below $650 or the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra getting its very first discount would be awesome — we’ve tested and loved both.

But if you’ve already taken a beach trip that has left your floors perpetually sandy, you don’t have to wait until Prime Day (July 16 and 17) to make the move on a robot vacuum. We’ll be refreshing our list of robovacs on sale at Amazon (with subcategories for standard robot vacuums from robot vacuums that mop) throughout the upcoming weeks as Prime Day nears, and will keep you posted when Amazon switches over to official early Prime Day deals. For now, deals with a strikeout were either sold out or no longer available at their best sale price when we last checked. Anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price. We’ll unstrike if their sale price returns, which it probably will ahead of Prime Day.

Why we like it

Eufy’s X9 Pro debuted in fall 2023 and sits right in the sweet spot between the X8 Pro (which doesn’t mop) and the X10 Pro Omni (which is sitting at its MSRP of $799.99). And it’s already seen several groundbreaking price cuts just in June: its current discount code X9PROEUFY bumps the discount to a full 50% off, beating the discount seen in mid-June that was exclusive to Prime members.

Mashable Deals

The X9 Pro is more reminiscent of its successor than its predecessor: It has a flat edge to get into corners, it mops, washes, and dries its own mopping pads, and uses AI to detect and avoid small obstacles like phone cables. As a mopper, the X9 Pro provides more elbow grease than many competitors thanks to double-pressurized, rotating mopping heads. These automatically lift above the ground if carpet is detected.
