If you have ever looked into purchasing a robot vacuum, then you know they are not cheap — but thanks to these last-minute Prime Day deals, the iRobot Roomba 692 has seen a price cut of $120, bringing it down to just $200 total. But you have to act fast if you want to save big before this deal ends with Prime Day tonight.

The iRobot Roomba 692 is a powerful robot vacuum cleaner that is packed with features. It utilizes a three-stage cleaning system to loosen dirt, lift it out of the carpet, and vacuum it up inside a sealed dust bin. An edge-sweeping brush ensures corners and walls are cleaned, while multi-surface brushes allow the Roomba 692 to clean both hardwood and carpeted floors without missing a beat.

The iRobot Roomba 692 also learns your schedule the more you use it. As you use the device, it will learn the times of day when you prefer to clean and offer to create personalized schedules that best fit your life. For example, if you often ask it to clean around 8:30 in the morning — right after everyone is out of the house — then it may offer to make that a routine. You can also ask it to clean at random with voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Powerful, intelligent sensors help it navigate throughout your home and avoid obstacles. Cliff sensors stop the Roomba 692 from falling down steps or stairs, and a Dirt Sensor tells it to focus more of its efforts on areas that are dirtier than others. This is a great choice for cleaning high-traffic areas, such as right in front of the door.

With a 90-minute battery life, the Roomba 692 will clean until it is almost out of power and return to its dock to charge. If it hasn’t finished cleaning yet, it will automatically resume after.

This Roomba 692 deal is one of the best ones iRobot has ever offered, period. It’s a savings of 38% off the standard price of this machine. For just $200, you can snag a robot vacuum cleaner that will keep your floor nice and tidy on a daily basis. All you’ll have to do is empty the dust bin after it is finished cleaning. Act fast, though–these Prime Day robot vacuum deals end today, so this is your last chance to pick up this Roomba for this price.

Narwal Freo Z Ultra vs. Dreame L40 Ultra: Which is the better robot vacuum?
The Narwal Freo Z Ultra next to furniture.

Several new robot vacuums were revealed at IFA 2024, including the Narwal Freo Z Ultra and Dreame L40 Ultra. The two gadgets share a lot of similarities (including a $1,500 price tag), and there’s a good chance you’ve stumbled upon both if you’re in the market for a robotic floor cleaner.

Thankfully, you can’t go wrong with either. Our Dreame L40 Ultra review found it to be a stellar robot vacuum -- and the same goes for our Narwal Freo Z Ultra review, which called it a marked improvement over the existing Narwal Freo X Ultra.

This retro robot vacuum is one of my favorite gadgets at IFA 2024
The Karcher RC 3000 robot vacuum at IFA 2024.

IFA 2024 has officially opened its doors to the public, marking the 100th anniversary of the iconic event. Hundreds of consumer electronics brands will be at the show -- including Samsung, Acer, and Lenovo -- and it's shaping up to be another big year for the convention. I was invited to preview the sprawling IFA grounds ahead of its kickoff, and while much was still under construction, IFA 100 Years: The Exhibition was largely complete. That's where I stumbled upon the Karcher RC 3000 -- a robot vacuum from 2003 that served as a precursor to many of today's most prominent devices.

IFA 100 Years: The Exhibition looks back at key innovations in the consumer electronics industry. From gaming and radio to video and home appliances, it captures key moments that shaped our digital lives over the past 10 decades. And while you'll find plenty of innovative devices in The Exhibition, the Karcher RC 3000 is undoubtedly one of the coolest smart home products in the showcase.

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max might be the best robot vacuum for carpet

iRobot is gearing up to launch a new robot vacuum, with the Roomba Combo 10 Max arriving in August. The robot makes big upgrades to its docking station, as it can automatically refill, wash, and dry the mopping pad -- making this the first multifunctional dock from iRobot. Best of all, it keeps its predecessors' swinging mop arm design, making it ideal for homes with both carpet and hard floors.

While much of the competition has offered self-cleaning docks for years (including Ecovacs and Roborock), this is a first for Roomba. After a cleaning cycle, the robot vacuum will return to its dock to refill its water tank and recharge its battery. It'll also get its mopping pad washed with water and dried with circulated air, preventing the buildup of mold and odors. You'll even have the option to run a manual self-clean and receive notifications if a deeper clean (or maintenance) is required.
