SAVE $301.01: As of Jan. 18, the iRobot Roomba j5+ is just $498.98 at Amazon. That's a savings of 38%.


No one likes to clean, right? Like, actually, seriously enjoys cleaning? It may be cathartic to tidy up here and there, but things like mopping and vacuuming can feel like such a hassle, especially if you've got other, more important things going on. Luckily, like many other tasks these days, you can use robotics to automate those tasks. And because we live in a glorious age where a robot vacuum can also do things like mop, you only need one device to do it all. That device is on sale right now.

As of Jan. 18, the self-emptying iRobot Roomba j5+ robot vacuum and mop is on sale for $498.98 at Amazon. That's a discount of 38% and $301.01 off its normal price of $799.99. Alternatively, the iRobot Roomba Combo j5 is on sale for $299, which is a discount of 50% and $300 off its normal price of $599. This model lacks the ability to self-empty, but it's still well worth the entry price.

The iRobot Roomba j5+ is a robot vacuum and mop that powers through dirt and debris hidden in your floors with a four-stage cleaning system. It also hoovers up pet hair with the greatest of ease, all without your input. It can even seek and destroy the dirtier areas in your home on its own, so you can go about getting other, more important things done. Then it'll empty the bin on its own for up to 60 days, so you don't have to.

You can also set it down and let it go to work mopping your floor when needed. All you need to do is swap out the vacuum's combo bin to start using the mop instead. All this, and it can map its own path through your home, controlled via app if you need to do any customization. If you're ready to leave all the cleaning to the robots, this is a great option to go with, especially since both variations are on sale.
