I've hand-picked the 3 best robot vacuums we've tried and tested under $500 for Black Friday
One of the most popular product categories during Black Friday deals is floor cleaning, with dozens of dazzling discounts on cheap robot vacuums of all shapes and sizes. In particular, it's a great opportunity to get a mid-range device for the price of a budget robovac, and this year's deals are no different.

The best deal I've seen for most people will be the Dreame L40 Ultra, which is now $399 (was $799) at Amazon. It's a record-low price on a vacuum we love, and a fantastic all-rounder – but it's not the cheapest model on my list. Read on for my full, expert recommendations.
Today's best cheap robot vacuum Black Friday deals
With $400 off, this robovac is at its lowest-ever price – I've only ever seen it this cheap before in a flash sale. It's a seriously good robot vacuum, too – in our Dreame L40 Ultra robot vacuum review, we awarded it 4.5 stars and called it "a sure-fire winner when it comes to keeping flooring of all styles spick and span". Under $400 is ludicrously cheap for the amount of tech and smarts you're getting here.
This robovac has had $450 slashed off its price tag, taking it to the cheapest price I have on record. It's incredible value for that price, too – in our Eufy X10 Pro Omni review, we called it "almost perfect", highlighting strong vacuuming and mopping performance and an easy-to-use app.
We call the Q7 M5 our favorite budget-friendly robot vacuum, but this slightly higher-spec '+' version still keeps the price point. On test, we were impressed with the strength of its suction considering its budget price, and love its three adjustable water flow levels for mopping, as well as 360°LiDAR navigation, which allows it to precisely map a room and clean, navigating objects and edges.
There are plenty of deals to choose from this Black Friday, from the best Roborock Black Friday savings to three of our favorite models at record low prices.
One tip of note; we don't recommend shopping iRobot vacuums this deals season, though we've not seen a great deal of discounts on models by the seemingly doomed brand. This paves the way for newer brands like Roborock, Eufy and Dreame to get their share of the spotlight, and that's a great thing considering many of the best robot vacuums we've tried come from those three.
As I mentioned before, the L40 is my personal top pick of this list, but I'm a huge fan of the pricier Dreame X50 Ultra, which has also seen an enormous Black Friday discount.
