Retire your broom and your mop: this Roomba drops its price and is much more than a robot vacuum cleaner
When it comes to buying a robot vacuum cleaner, there is no doubt that the iRobot Roomba is the clear reference within the sector, the rival to beat and the first option for many users, although it certainly does not lack rivals.
Surprisingly, iRobot has signed up for Amazon’s Black Friday week, with thousands of offers underway and several of its robots plummeting in price, including the Roomba Combo i5+, which now costs 449 euros and seeing everything that it offers is undoubtedly one of the best bargains.
The main key is that, to begin with, It has a self-emptying base so that the robot itself deposits the waste from its tank every time it is loaded againand that makes it much more comfortable because you can forget about its maintenance for days.
In addition to that, it also has the option of dry and wet mopping, so not only will you be able to forget about the broom but you will also be able to retire your mop, since The wet mop can remove dirt and food debris from the floor relatively easily.
It can do both at the same time, that is, while it scrubs it also vacuums: first it sucks up the particles and then passes the mop through that same area, so cleaning is maximum with a single pass.
Normally iRobot has been somewhat reluctant to install a water tank on its robots, and in fact sold two models separately: the Roomba for vacuuming and the Braava for mopping, although they finally seem to have accepted the competition’s push to include everything in one.

According to iRobot, With the self-emptying base you can forget about having to clean your robot for 60 daysalthough it is surely an optimistic calculation and depends largely on the dirt it vacuums, since if, for example, you have pets at home, things change quite a bit.
It is compatible with Alexa, so you can link iRobot to your virtual assistant from your mobile to activate cleaning or stop it with voice commands, but for that you need to have a smart speaker. Fortunately, if you don’t have one now on Black Friday there are ones from only 20.99 euros in the case of the Echo Pop.
In any case, shipping costs are totally free whether you have a Prime account or not. If you have it, all the better because your purchase will arrive in just one day.
