The best partner I have ever had is my Roomba.

Sure, there are advantages to human boyfriends. They can reach high shelves, laugh at your jokes, refill your wine glass. But the best relationship I have right now is with a different member of my household. It’s my iRobot Roomba, which sucks in the best ways possible.

It sucks up dust. It sucks up crumbs. It sucks up strewn kitty litter and tiny bits of Cheerios left over from breakfasts eaten long ago. And it does all this without any involvement from me — I don’t have to ask, I don’t have to stand up, I don’t have to lift a finger. I don’t even have to be home! Every day at the appointed time, my darling Roomba self-motivates, does its task, then quietly returns to its dock. It is my best friend, my support system, my love. It senses my needs and happily fulfills them.

Right now, an incredible, iRobot Model 671 Roomba is on sale at a crazy discount (thank you, Amazon). I urge you to drop what you’re doing and take advantage. Not only will this machine change your life, it may change your outlook on the world. And if your family unit experiences any ongoing tension about keeping the house clean (Hello? Whose doesn’t?), your Roomba will reduce this tension by a fair percentage. Because when your floors are maintained, everything else feels a lot easier to handle.

This Roomba 671 is Wi-Fi connected, which means you can start the cleaning process with just a touch of a button on your smartphone. All you need is the iRobot Home App, and you can schedule your vacuum for anytime wherever you are. Also included with Wi-Fi is Alexa compatibility. Ask Alexa to start, stop or dock your Roomba, and it’ll do just that!

Picture coming home to clean floors every single day. Can you even imagine? In case you’re unfamiliar with the technology, the Roomba has sensors that map its surroundings (including cliff sensors that keep it from toppling down a set of stairs). This allows it to zip around an entire floor of your home removing allergens, pet hair and the detritus of daily life.

And when the Roomba is lowing low on battery from all that work, it automatically docks itself to recharge. All the more proof that we are, in fact, living in the future.

Admittedly the Roomba is an investment. For me it’s been more than worth it for my household. And right now, you can take advantage of Amazon’s one-day sale and score one for the lowest price I’ve yet to see. But hurry, because a deal this good won’t last!
