The IRobot Roomba I4 EVO Is Now 48% Off at Amazon

For those who missed out on October’s Prime Day Roomba deals, you have another chance: Amazon is currently selling the iRobot Roomba i4 EVO for 48% off for $209.99 (regularly $399.99). That’s the same low price it reached during Prime Day, and it’s its lowest price ever, according to Camelcamelcamel price history .

A step up from the budget version, but still cheaper.

It’s easy to get confused in the Roombas hierarchy because the model names don’t follow a clear order. Here’s a simple breakdown for comparison:

You can think of the iRobot Roomba 692 as the basic basic iRobot Roomba, which typically costs around $250 and comes with very basic features like edge and corner cleaning, the ability to clean multiple types of floors and messes (wood, carpet, pet hair). and etc.). It’s compatible with Google Assistant or Alexa, and you can personalize your cleaning experience. With the iRobot Roomba i4 EVO, you get a few more features than with the 692, such as the ability to clean in neat rows using two rubber brushes and recharge the vacuum to continue cleaning if the battery dies before completing its task. You can also set it to clean specific rooms on specific orders within the app. Roomba will learn the layout of your home after several attempts and will eventually do so without touching every corner or furniture of your home. You can also set a regular schedule or expand it whenever you want.

However, one feature you’d give up over the iRobot Roomba i4+ EVO (now $415; normally $600) is the ability to automatically empty the vacuum container. If you don’t mind doing this every few days, you can save a couple hundred dollars with the iRobot Roomba i4 EVO .
