Amazon’s deal on the Roomba 960 is better than iRobot’s official Black Friday sale

IRobot announced last week that its $700 Roomba 960 robot vacuum cleaner was dropping to $500 for Black Friday. That’s a fantastic deal on what is likely the best robot vacuum the Roomba brand has ever produced, but you definitely shouldn’t buy it. In fact, you’re crazy if you buy it! What could possibly make you crazy for saving $200 on the best Roomba ever? Amazon is selling it for even less. The iRobot Roomba 960 Robot Vacuum with Wi-Fi Connectivity and Alexa Compatibility is just $449.00 right now on Amazon, which beats iRobot’s official Black Friday deal by a cool $50. Grab one now because this deal is definitely going to sell out before Black Friday gets here.
