As TechRadar's Homes Editor, one of my specialty areas is robot vacuums. I've written extensively about these automated suckers, covering everything from basic, budget-friendly models to the fanciest options on the market, so I'm confident recommending models at a range of budgets and for different use cases. I've also covered the Black Friday sales for six years, during which time I've gained insights on when to buy and when to wait, which retailers deliver the biggest bargains, and how to check if a deal is actually good or not.

Black Friday robot vacuum deals: FAQs

When will the Black Friday robot vacuum deals start in 2024?

Black Friday this year is on 29 November 2024, but that won't be your only chance to score a robovac bargain. Most brands and retailer will run longer Black Friday sales – starting from Monday 25th, or perhaps even earlier. The Black Friday offers will turn into Cyber Monday deals on or before 2 December.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a robot vacuum?

Yes, probably. You'll find robot vacuum discounts throughout the year, but on Black Friday, pretty much everyone is running a sale. 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 this occasion to offer the lowest prices of the year, and even when that's not the case, the offers are always very strong.

Where will I find the best Black Friday robovac deals?

In the US last year, Amazon and Walmart were the retailers that came through with the best deals. We'll also check places like Best Buy, Target and Lowes. In the UK, again Amazon was a great place to shop for a bargain, but we also saw price-drops at Currys. Other places to look include John Lewis and Argos. On both sides of the pond, you can also expect some strong offers direct from the brands – last year, Shark's Black Friday robot vacuum deals were especially impressive.

Really, though, aside from those that consciously opt out, you can expect every major brand and reputable retailer to have some kind of Black Friday sale. You won't be sort on choice, so a good plan is to figure out roughly what you want first – or ideally have a target robot vacuum in mind – and then shop around for the lowest price on Black Friday. (If you're new to the market, our guide to how to choose a robot vacuum should help set you on the right track.)

What Black Friday robot vacuum deals can I expect in 2024?

We expect there to be strong discounts from leading brands like iRobot (Roomba), Roborock, Eufy and Ecovacs, with price cuts of up to 50% off. There will likely be the biggest discounts on the high-end models in the range, offering an opportunity to score a really advanced robot vacuum for far less then list price. However, there will be plenty for bargain hunters, too. if you just need a basic model that will take the pressure off your cleaning regime. Last year, we saw simple robovacs from $139 in US and £259 in the UK.
