Black Friday Roomba deals 2024: when do the discounts start?
If you're hoping for a Roomba bargain this Black Friday, here's what you need to know
A Black Friday Roomba deal is a great way to pick up one of these smart home-helpers at a much lower price than usual. iRobot's Roomba line was the first to popularize robovacs, and remains one the best robot vacuum ranges around.
These days, the Black Friday deals can include just about anything, but robot vacuums are always well represented in these seasonal sales, and that includes Roomba models. iRobot is a great brand to focus on, and consistently scores highly in our reviews. However, if you want to see what you might get from another brand, we also have a roundup of Black Friday robot vacuum deals that's worth checking out.
There are Roombas at a range of prices. Last year we saw Roomba deals from as little as $159, so if you're on a tight budget, there will be a great option for you. The Black Friday sales are also a fantastic opportunity to pick up a really high-end robovac for a far more affordable price. Read on for your guide to the Black Friday Roomba deals.

In my role as TechRadar Homes Editor, one of my areas of expertise is robot vacuums, including Roombas. I've written extensively about these smart suckers, covering everything from cheap-and-cheerful models to advanced options that can basically clean like a human. I've also reported on the Black Friday sales for the past six years, so I have a good idea of what to expect on the day, and can tell if a deal is worth your time or not.
Black Friday Roomba deals 2024: FAQs
When did Black Friday Roomba deals start in 2024?
Black Friday is always the final Friday of the month, so this year it's Friday 29 November. However, long gone are the times when the deals were confined to one day only. Black Friday deals typically start a week or two before the official date, and some will appear as early as the start of the November. Some retailers will reserve their very best prices for Black Friday itself, but others will run the same deals throughout the whole sales period. We'll be adding all the best Roomba Black Friday deals to this article as soon as they start to appear, so bookmark this page and check back.
The Black Friday offers will morph into Cyber Monday deals on or before Monday 2 December.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a Roomba?
Probably. While it is possible to find Roomba discounts at various points throughout the year, Black Friday will deliver the widest range of deals and the most choice for customers. All the major retailers will have a sale on, and many will be competing to gain your custom. You'll have a huge amount of choice, and you'll also have the benefit of being able to shop around and compare deals at different retailers. Many brands and retailers use the Black Friday sales to offer the lowest prices of the year, and even when that's not the case, the deals are always very strong.
What Black Friday Roomba deals should I expect?
In last year's Roomba Black Friday deals, the biggest offers cut nearly 50% off, and some models dropped to record-low prices. We saw discounts on top models like the Roomba Combo j7+ and Roomba s9+, as well as offers on more budget-friendly models. Remember that iRobot typically does multiple versions of the same robovac, adding things like mopping capabilities and a self-empty docks, so you can pick the version that suits your needs and budget.
iRobot will likely run its own Black Friday sale, but we're also expecting to see deals at Amazon, Best Buy, Lowe's, Walmart, and Target.
