If You Hate Vacuuming, This Amazon Prime Day Roomba Deal Is For You

It's time to finally welcome our robot cleaning overlords.

Let's make sure we're on the same page here: vacuuming is the woooorssst. Traditional vacuums are way too heavy, the cord always gets tangled, and they're so noisy you can't even listen to music while you're using them. Like, what was Mrs. Doubtfire even dancing to in this GIF?!

It's even smart enough not to fall down the stairs and can easily maneuver around any obstacles that get in its way.

It'll also automatically adjust its settings when it switches from carpet to hardwood floors.

Better yet, you can control it right from your smartphone for the ultimate lazy cleaning experience. The accompanying app lets you set specific schedules and customize your cleaning layout.

Promising review: "I have two dogs, a golden retriever and a cocker spaniel, and I’m about to add a corgi to the mix. Vacuuming is a chore I do multiple times per day. I had considered buying a Roomba or other robotic vacuum for quite some time but could never bite the bullet. The Roomba has a great deal for Prime Day so I decided to go ahead and get it. I am SO glad that I did, I LOVE this machine. It took two seconds to set up and needed to charge for about an hour or so before it was ready to clean. The first day it spent a lot of time in the biggest room of my house bouncing off the walls. I’ve had it for four days now and it’s roaming all areas of my home sucking it’s little heart out. I feel like it has learned the lay of the land and is much more efficient." —Ang

Other reviewers suggest running it overnight so your new robot maid can do the work while you sleep. There's really nothing better than waking up to a freshly vacuumed home.

Promising review: "This thing is like magic for hard surfaces. We have two cats and a dog who shed like crazy, and two teens who are always dropping bits of food on the floor. Roomba picks up all of this stuff with ease and my floors are actually clean! It has no problem getting under my chairs and tables, cleans litter up off the floor, and seems to pick up all of the dust. We run it in the middle of the night and wake up to a clean floor. It's also so much quieter than our old vacuum." —Filmfurnace

And not to belabor the point, but if you own a pet or a child, this is a need, not a want.

Promising review: "Has made my dreams come true. I have not vacuumed or swept since it arrived, just some small sweep ups of a few spills where it didn’t make sense to summon the vacuum. I have a dog, a cat, and three kids. One kid in particular cannot eat any food without spilling half of it on the floor. So many crumbs. So much fur. I hated walking barefoot in my own house because no matter how much I swept or cleaned, there were always tiny pieces of whatever on the floor. Not anymore. We run robot vacuum at night and have connected her to our Echo Dot so we can literally summon it lol ... Honestly we use it daily and I never have to sweep or vacuum, which alone is worth it. I’ve wanted one for years and never spent the money until now because I thought it wasn’t a need." —Sarah P.

Listen, it's 2021 and regular vacuums are so 2000 and late. Now's definitely the time to get the iRobot Roomba 692 while it's ONLY $199.99 — so you can kick your feet up and live the futuristic life you truly deserve.
