UPDATE: Feb. 7, 2024, 5:00 a.m. EST This story has been updated to include the latest pricing for robot vacuums on sale this week, including several deals on next-to-newest Roborock models and a single Roomba steal left over from last week.

Only three things are certain in life: Death, taxes, and a few days each month when you need to vacuum but just don’t have time. Whether you detest the chore or hope to make your home upkeep a bit breezier, a robot vacuum is a lifesaver.
The best robot vacuums unveiled at CES 2024 go where Roombas still haven’t
Robot vacuums under $200
Opens in a new window
Our pick: Shark Matrix RV2300
Why we like it
For a solid cheap Shark option, skip the outdated $139 Shark ION and opt for the Matrix instead. For less than $200, you’re securing LiDAR-powered smart home mapping and virtual boundaries, plus Matrix technology, which attacks debris from multiple angles in a crosshatch pattern to grab anything that was missed on the original pass. On top of the thorough spot cleaning, Shark claims that the Matrix packs 50% more suction power than the Roomba i3.

Our pick: Shark Matrix RV2300S
Why we like it
The self-emptying version of the standalone gray model listed above is on sale at Walmart for less than $300 — $30 less than a near-identical model we saw on sale at Best Buy last week, which is now back to full price.
Home mapping and virtual boundaries guided by 360-degree LiDAR are present here, plus Shark’s newest claim to fame that we just mentioned: its Matrix cleaning technique that vacuums in a crosshatch pattern to grab any debris missed from the first angle.

Robot vacuum and mop hybrids
Opens in a new window
Our pick: iRobot Roomba Combo j5
Why we like it
Almost all of the awesome Roomba deals we saw at the end of January have fizzled out except for one: The Combo j5 (which does not self-empty) is still almost 50% off, around $13 more than its record-low price of $299.
The j5 Series consists of the cheapest Roombas with obstacle avoidance tech that can steer clear of phone chargers, socks, and pet waste. This capability, which we first experienced when testing the Combo j7+, will be game-changing if your previous gripe with robot vacuums was that you had to clean up before they could clean.

Swap and Mop system avoids designated carpets during mopping mode
