Upgrade to a Roomba vacuum for just $160 with this Amazon Prime Day deal

Robot vacuum cleaners can make your life easier by keeping carpets clean, especially if you need to vacuum frequently due to pet hair. If you've been thinking about investing in a robot vacuum for your home, now is the perfect time to finally take the plunge. The iRobot Roomba Essential is currently heavily discounted with an early Amazon Prime Day deal . This entry-level robot vacuum is a solid, affordable option that can pick up dirt and debris throughout your home and help you cross a task off your to-do list. The best part is that Amazon just dropped the price to its new all-time high price of $160 , a savings of $90.

In addition to the impressive 120-minute battery life, you can also set this vacuum to turn on when you leave the house, so you don't have to worry about noise. It uses a three-stage cleaning system to ensure your carpets and hard floors are free of debris, and it's all easy to set up in the Roomba app. You can also control it via Alexa.

While it doesn't have lidar-based object detection like more expensive models, it can navigate around furniture and automatically clean with clean lines so you don't miss a spot. It can also return to its charging base when the battery runs out, so you don't have to worry about recharging between cleanings. It's certainly not flashy, but not everyone wants to spend $500 or more on a robot vacuum to keep their home clean. At just $160, it offers great value for anyone looking for a basic robot vacuum.
