'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
You can still get $237 off an iRobot Roomba i7+ robot vacuum after Prime Day
What if you never vacuumed, but your home looked like you regularly did? That tantalizing dream can become a reality if you get the iRobot Roomba i7+.
The Roomba i7+ blazes a trail of cleanliness wherever it goes, learning the layout of your home and automatically creating smart maps. This means that it will clean without bumping into things. It also works with Google Home and Alexa, so you can combine it with an enabled device for voice control instead of using the iRobot Home app.

With the price now $763 instead of $1,000, you can afford to never vacuum again -- and almost never empty out your vacuum bag either. The Roomba i7+ has a much-needed automatic disposal system that can go up to two months without being emptied. Instead of facing a wave of dust and debris when you empty your Roomba (as you would with a traditional vacuum), you get a neat disposal bag that goes straight into the garbage bin.
The Roomba i7+ model is unique in that it has targeted area cleaning. So if you drop some Cheerios underneath the dining table, you can instruct the robot vacuum to clean just that area and not the whole dining room. The vacuum learns where and when you normally want vacuuming over time, and it can suggest personalized schedules to automatically do its thing.
The vacuum itself is powerful and great for families with pets. But if you still aren't sold on the Roomba i7+, check out these other top robot vacuum deals for Prime Day.
