This Amazon deal on a Roomba robot vacuum will save you $116 — get it by Dec. 24 with Prime

13,000+ shoppers say iRobot's Roomba is a cleaning 'dust'-have, and it's on sale for only $159 at Amazon.

If you’ve been reluctant to invest in a robot vacuum, we get it. You clean your house well and don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on something that might not do as good a job. That’s why we love iRobot —they make robovacs that do such incredible work, you barely need to lift a finger. They’re seriously worth it. And by some stroke of luck, there's an amazing Amazon deal on this top-selling Roomba — it's just $159, down from $275 (that's over 40% off). At this price, you can snag one for yourself and one as a last-minute gift. Speaking of: If you order soon, it'll arrive by Dec. 24 with Amazon Prime.

This bestselling robovac is extra slim at 3.54 inches and quieter than your regular vacuum. Because it’s so svelte, it can slip into all those hard-to-reach spots under couches and dressers without you moving around all your furniture. It also has laser sensors to help it avoid getting stuck on carpets, bumping into walls or falling down stairs. The future of house cleaning is here — at a discount!

Why is it a good deal?

We've seen the price on this robovac go up and down, but this is one of the all-time lowest we've ever seen. And considering how much time and effort it'll save you, it's an investment well worth making.

Why do I need this?

Robot vacuums are the perfect foray into the luxuries you thought you’d never have. While self-driving cars and space travel are still reserved for the Jetsons and the 1%, it’s time for the rest of us to indulge a little too. And doesn’t indulgence feel so much better when it’s not actually that indulgent?

Simply put, the iRobot Roomba 694 Wi-Fi Vacuum is one of the best out there. It will sweep up when you make a mess at the push of a button, and you can also set a schedule for your Roomba to clean when you’re not even around, or just ask Alexa or Google to do it. It'll return to its dock to charge as needed and get back to finish the job once it's powered up. Crazy-smart, it learns your house with a mapping system, so if you spill something in the kitchen and need to run out, just use your phone or Alexa device to tell it where to clean. It’s perfect for pets all year round and is ready to give your floors an additional once-over when your area's pollen count is high or during shedding season.

What reviewers say

We're not the only ones in love with the 694 — it's garnered 13,000+ five-star ratings from swept-away Amazon shoppers.

"This thing is legit!!" shared a shopper. "We named him Bob. I had my doubts. I am a true Roomba believer now after seeing my little Bob dominate the dirt and hair. Holy smokes, the amount of junk Bob picked up! We vac and sweep all the time and it was as if I had never cleaned my house in years. Bob is amazing at picking up hair. We have a lot of hair from my wife and a dog that sheds. It’s been like that daily since we bought this thing."

"I am not sure how I did without one before," a rave reviewer wrote. "My house is not big, so it does the whole house except for two rooms that I close off in a little over one hour. I can run it as often as I want and it goes over my throw rugs, my rug under my dining room table. I especially love it for my laminate and tile floors."

"Cleans phenomenally but is not a quiet vacuum," admitted a five-star fan. "But it works so well, I just run them when I leave!! The app makes it work great for knowing when it’s done and docked back up. Love being able to start it from my phone too. Had a Shark one and this one out-cleans the Shark!"

The future of house cleaning is here.

"Bought this shortly after getting a white couch and white carpet installed, and boy am I so glad I did," raved one impressed shopper. "So far it has removed dried muddy paw prints, ink, permanent marker, dog poop, dog vomit, dried blood, grease, dried blue oil paint, chocolate and red wine. Every time I think there’s no way this could possibly fix this new set-in stain, it wows me every time."
