Umm... this is major. After surprisingly (and depressingly) not being on sale for Black Friday, the fan-favorite, sexy, top-performing Roomba Combo j9+ hybrid robovac is again selling for its lowest price ever. We were predicting that it would hit this price on actual Black Friday, sure, but pre-Cyber Monday weekend also works. Beggars can't be choosers, after all, and we most certainly should be begging for the blessing that is this robot vacuum.

As of November 26, you can get the Roomba Combo j9+ robot vacuum & mop for only $999, which is a whopping $400 off the vac's usual $1,399 price point. iRobot's j9 series was only unveiled this September, so it's no wonder that today marks only the second time that this Roomba's ever seen a sale (the only other occasion on which its price dropped was on Nov. 9). Clearly, not discounting the j9+ for Black Friday means iRobot's sale schedule has no rhyme or reason or logic to it, so we recommend you run to snag this deal while it's still available online.

The Roomba Combo j9+ was deemed "the very best Roomba" by our in-house robovac expert Leah Stodart for a reason. It's essentially the vac-child of all the previous Roomba models combined — and takes the best qualities from each of them, like navigational skills, awe-inspiring carpet suction, and a retractable mop. The j9+ also boasts a new SmartScrub technique, which Leah Stodart says "appl[ies] elbow grease to eat at dried-on stains on hard floors" and has a chic dock with wood accents which help it double as a piece of furniture in your space. Speaking of the j9+'s dock, it's able to auto-empty its dustbin and auto-fill its water tank. Talk about hands-off cleaning. With a runtime of up to 90 minutes, you'll be kicking back and relaxing during the holiday season (as. you. should), while this trusty vacuum does a better job of cleaning than you ever could (no offense).
