Plenty of self-emptying robot vacuums are already on sale the day before Prime Day

UPDATE: Oct. 7, 2024, 3:21 p.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest self-emptying robot vacuum deals. $299.99 at Amazon (save $119.01) $949.99 at Amazon (save $250) Robot vacuums have been a backbone of Prime Day for years now, but the type of robot vacuums on sale for Prime Day looks a little different now than it did five years ago. While self-emptying robot vacuums on sale at all were few and far between back then, almost every single robot vacuum on sale during Prime Days present can empty themselves. That includes Prime events not officially called Prime Day, like Prime Big Deal Days coming up on Oct. 8 and 9. (Though for all intents and purposes, it's October Prime Day.) SEE ALSO: I've tested over 20 robot vacuums and these are the best for every budget in 2024 The universalization of the self-emptying dock has also made it a much more affordable feature in general, even when no discount is present — so Prime Day deals on these robovacs means you may not have to pay more than $300 or $400 to be off dustbin duty for a few weeks. If you do have a more flexible budget, though, the automatic maintenance feature to look for this Prime Day would be self-washing and drying mopping pads. iRobot, Shark, Roborock, Eufy, Ecovacs, and more all have at least one robot vacuum and mop combo that deals with its own dust and dirty mopping pads all in the same dock. These are obviously pricier than hybrids that make you do this manually, so to have a few hundred dollars knocked off the price during (or before) Prime Day is game-changing. We've pulled all the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuums live at Amazon ahead of the Prime Big Deal Days kickoff on Oct. 8. This list will be updated once the event officially begins tomorrow, so be sure to check back soon for even more deals.
