Our top-rated Roomba is absurdly cheap in the Best Buy early Black Friday sales

The Roomba j7+ is $359 (was $799) at Best Buy right now. That’s less than half price (55% off, math fans) and a new record-low price on this model. The j7+ is an extremely capable robot vacuum – in fact, it’s the model included in our best robot vacuum ranking – and while there are cheaper Black Friday robot vacuum deals around, I’d argue this one offers the best value for money.

This is a really decent robovac, scoring a near-perfect 4.5* in our Roomba j7+ review. It can be set to clean by room or zone, adjusts its suction depending on the floor type and how dirty it is, and has advanced object identification to help it navigate confidently and avoid a wide range of obstacles, including pet mess (iRobot guarantees it). It comes with a self-empty dock into which the small onboard bin will automatically empty to save you the effort of doing it manually.

I’ve been monitoring the Roomba Black Friday deals, and this is the cheapest option around, bar the (far more basic) i5 and Essential models. Amongst the early Black Friday deals, this is a major standout.

The model I’m focusing on here can vacuum but doesn’t have mopping capabilities. If you have a lot of hard floors, it might be worth considering upgrading to a Combo model. Happily, that is also pretty heavily discounted in the Best Buy early Black Friday sale.

Do you have your heart set on a Roomba but are confused by the naming system? I don’t blame you. I’ve put together this Roomba range guide that runs down the key differences between the various models. That way, you can see if the j7 is the best fit for you or if, for instance, it might be worthwhile upgrading to the newer Roomba j9, which offers double the lifting power.
