What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is among the major annual sale events organized by Amazon, one of the biggest players in the eCommerce scene. The sale event has been held every year since its inception in 2015. Though it was first held in commemoration of Amazon’s 20th anniversary, Prime Day sale event’s main aim was to reward loyal Amazon Prime subscribers.
Amazon Prime Deals are exclusively for Amazon Prime members. However, during the two-day sale event, there are numerous non-Prime deals. But then, the non-Prime deals are not as generous as Prime deals. This begs the question, what is Amazon Prime? What are its subscription costs?
Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime is a paid subscription service that gives members several benefits, including free expedited shipping in just one or two days, depending on the address. Besides expedited shipping, Prime subscribers get several other perks, including access to popular movies and TV shows on Prime Video, ad-free music on Prime Music, Prime Reading, Amazon Photos, Rx Savings, Amazon Key, and of course, Amazon Prime-exclusive deals and discounts. Amazon Prime’s member base has been increasing because of the benefits of the service. The company reported that it has over 200 million members.
Amazon Prime Subscriptions and Pricing
Indeed, Amazon Prime is a deal, but the big question is, how much do the subscriptions cost? Recently, Amazon increased the subscriptions for the service. At the moment, monthly rates start at $14.99 when billed monthly or $139 a year when billed annually.
The good thing is that there is a 30-day free trial for those who have not subscribed to the service in the last 12 months. Students with .edu emails can also enjoy a generous 6 months free trial, after which they can enjoy the full Prime services at half the price. In addition, EBT and select government assistance recipients qualify for a free trial and monthly subscriptions of just $6.99.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?
Now, when is Amazon Prime Day 2023? Amazon has not officially announced when Amazon Prime Day will go live. All that is there are rumors and predictions. During its 2023 first-quarter earnings report, the company confirmed that the event would be held in July 2023, and as is the new norm, it will be a two-day sale event. Preliminary dates are the 11 and 12 of July.
Best Roomba Prime Day Sale Deals
Now, onto the day’s main business; what are some of the best Roomba Amazon Prime Day deals and discounts? We have handpicked the Roomba vacuum Amazon Prime Day deals that will likely feature in the sale.
Romba i4 EVO Series
EVO Series i4 and i3 are perfect vacuum routine robots for everyday cleaning. You can choose the i4 EVO model with Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal (i4+ EVO) or without (i4 EVO). The Clean Base allows you to forget about emptying the dustbin for up to 60 days.
This model cleans rooms using Imprint Smart mapping, where robots map your rooms and learn your cleaning preferences. You can command via smartphone applications or voice controllers. The app suggests cleaning schedules based on your habits, pets, or allergic seasons; it also provides information on how long the battery is left or starts cleaning when you leave. The robot and application update automatically and get smarter and smarter every day.
The 3-stage cleaning process is performed by powerful suction ten times higher than 600 series, powerful scrubbing by dual multi-surface rubber brushes, and one edge-sweeping brush angled to reach tight edges. The robot is equipped with an auto-adjust cleaning head to move easily from carpets to bare floors and back and several sensors. Cliff sensors prevent falling from stairs and ledges; dirt detection sensors allow for cleaning dirty places better. Roomba i4 cleans in tidy rows back and forth, also around the furniture.
The 20% larger battery provides extended runtime with recharge and resume functions. High-efficiency filter in the robot traps 99% of dust and allergens. You can synchronize this model with Brava jet M6 for mopping after vacuuming.
Roomba 600 Series
On Prime Day Roomba 600 Series is presented with Roomba 694, 671, 692, and 621. Roomba 694 and 621 are the most iRobot affordable models on the market. Robots from the 600 Series are good at innovative cleaning of homes. You can control and schedule all these models while you are away using your phone or at home using Alexa. They vacuum along walls, sweep dirt from edges, and clean bare floors and carpets.
Roomba 694
Roomba 694 is one of the best iRobot Prime Day deals that should be on homeowners’ wish lists, with small to medium apartments with less traffic. It’s suitable for all hard floors and homes with pets. 694 relies on an AeroVac 3-stage cleaning system – loose dirt by multi-surface brushes and edge-sweeping brush, lift it, and then suck with 500-600 Pa products by 1st Gen motor. Unfortunately, the brush is unreliable when handling long dog hair, but it sweeps, agitates, and lifts dirt effectively.
Other features include a high-efficiency filter, a 0.3L bin, Dirt Detect, four cleaning modes (Auto, Clean, Spot, and Schedule modes), mobile app operation, and voice assistant compatibility. But then, 694 has a few flaws. First, it runs on an old navigation system, so it still gets stuck in high-traffic rooms and may miss some spots. Though it supports Virtual Boundaries, no node is supplied. Another shortcoming is that even though it has a 90 minutes runtime and can recharge automatically, it won’t resume cleaning until prompted. But all the same, it’s a worthy model now that it adds smartphone operation, Alexa compatibility, and the Schedule function.
Roomba 621
Roomba 621 is the following available proposal after iRobot 694 model. Its features and functionality are close to 694, but it has a unique design with a white lid. It is also equipped with many sensors to navigate better around the house to clean around and under the furniture, at edges, and avoid stairs and ledges. It also has a sensor to detect dirt to clean these areas thoroughly. The battery capacity is enough to work for 90 minutes before it goes automatically for recharging, with no resume function. The dual multi-surface brushes are inserted into an adjustable cleaning head to clean different surfaces better. This model is compatible with smartphones and Alexa as well.
Roomba 692 has no unique features compared to Roomba 621; this model is totally black. It is a good option if you want a robot with adaptive navigation and a dirt sensor for the everyday cleaning of carpets and floors. You need to purchase also the virtual walls, but you can rely on 90 minutes of smart cleaning.
Roomba 671
Meanwhile, Roomba 671 is a great deal for buyers on a budget; it is the most expensive model from the 600 series on Prime Day. While it is a relatively new model, it uses the old Aerovac 3-stage cleaning system that incorporates a 1st Gen motor, an Aerova dual multi-surface brushroll, and HEPA-style filtration. The filter system is the best among the other 600 robots. Also, this model is suitable for pet hair. The navigation is average, with a dirt sensor to better clean high-traffic and dirtier areas in your home, and will do well in small to medium-sized apartments with average traffic. When it comes to runtime, this vacuum comes with a rechargeable battery that does 90 minutes, which is better than what the Roomba 650, 690, and even the 890 offer. But still, this model doesn’t include any Virtual Walls devices.
Roomba i3 EVO Series
The i3 EVO and i3 EVO+ are both smart WiFi robots powered by iRobot OS. They are suitable for homes with bare floors, low to medium pile carpets, and pets. They feature the updated AeroForce 3-stage cleaning system that consists of a motor that puts up an average of 900 Pa (10 times higher than 600 Series), a dual multi-surface brush with antitangle technology, a sweeping side brush, and high-efficiency filtration. The navigation system adds Reactive Sensors for accurate mapping and obstacle avoidance. Other features include recharge and resume function, Imprint Link Technology for simultaneous vacuuming and mopping with the Braava M6, and Dirt Detect sensors for focused cleaning dirty areas.
But then, you can’t rely on this robot vacuum to clean high pile carpets and area rugs satisfactorily as it has average suction.
Roomba j7 Series
The Roomba J7 Series are also automatic self-emptying robot vacuums. They are available in two variants; Roomba J7 and Roomba J7+. Here again, the base model, Roomba J7, doesn’t come with the CleanBase, but the J7+ does come with the CleanBase.
The two robot units are all similar in terms of features. They are also smart robot vacuums that offer remote operation via the Smartphone app and voice assistants (Alexa and Google Assistant). In terms of cleaning performance, the J7 and J7+ are suitable for homes with all kinds of bare floors, low to medium pile carpets, and pets. They rely on a 3 stage cleaning system and a powerful battery that recharges and resumes cleaning automatically. In terms of navigation and mapping, the J7 comes with iAdapt 3.0 alongside iRobot Genius, a new technology that offers homeowners a personalized cleaning experience. J7 Series is so smart that can avoid pet waste and charging cords. You can also ask Roomba j7 to clean the target area or room; this feature is unavailable for i3 EVO or 600 Series.
But unfortunately, the J7 and J7+ can’t be trusted when it comes to vacuuming high pile carpets and area rugs. The two come with the 2nd Gen motor that puts up an average of 900 Pa, which is insufficient to flush out the dust and dirt that hide deep inside the high carpet pile.
Roomba j6+
Roomba j6+ is a good deal for Prime Day 2023. This smart model is similar in characteristics to the j7+ and has the Clean Base Dirt disposal system. The difference is that after 60 days, you can empty it by throwing away only the enclosed bag, with no mess or dust. This robot uses the latest iRobot OS and Precision Vision Navigation; it will avoid all hazards during cleaning, adapts to your habits, and you can set multiple schedules for him for each day. In application, it gives personalized suggestions for cleaning routines.
Regarding cleaning performance, the j6 is suitable for homes with bare floors and low to medium-pile carpets. It can also handle pet hair without brush tangling and kitty litter. Under the hood, it packs an AeroForce 3-stage cleaning system with all the standard features that other Roombas come with. It has Reactive Sensor Technology to analyze in real-time the areas where it can possibly stick and avoid them; it also identifies the dirtiest spots and goes there for cleaning.
Geolocation services in your smartphone give your j6+ the green light to start a cleaning routine while you are away. You can check the progress and ensure your return will do everything. If the battery is not enough, it will automatically recharge and continue cleaning from the same spot
Roomba s9+
The Roomba S9+ is an all-round cleaner that can handle all bare floors, pet messes, and carpets. One standout feature is the Carpet Boost function, which steps up suction to ensure that carpets are thoroughly vacuumed. If you are looking for the best Roomba for carpets, this is the best match as it has 40 times more powerful suction as 600 series models. Besides the all-around cleaning performance, it comes with a powerful battery that puts up 120 minutes runtime, and can recharge and resume cleaning automatically. In terms of navigation and smart features, the S9 has all the bells and whistles. It comes with iAdapt 3.0 with Imprint Smart Mapping, Imprint Link Technology, and 2.4GHz WiFi compatibility for smartphone app operation and voice assistant compatibility.
Unfortunately, the Roomba S9 is rather expensive, but you can get it at a discount thanks to Amazon Prime Day. Also, for such an expensive robot vacuum, it would have been wise to make it a 2-in-1 cleaner that vacuums and mops now that other top brands, for example, Roborock, are offering modern robot vacuums with mops or choose j7+ Combo almost at the same price.
Roomba Combo j7+
Finally, we came to the only mop and vacuum model from Roomba – Combo j7+. You can use a very attractive proposal for the price on Prime Day on this model. This most advanced Roomba robot lifts the mopping pad to keep your carpets dry. It has four stage cleaning system – sweeping debris with dual multi-surface rubber brushers with adjustable head, reaching tight corners with edge sweeping side brush, suctioning of mess with the most powerful iRobot suction, and finally, mopping the floor to shine using washable mopping pad.
The latest Precision Vision Navigation identifies all objects and creates new routes for effective cleaning. It automatically senses areas requiring more intense cleaning, or you can ask the robot to pass additional high-traffic areas using a smartphone application. Using Wi-Fi, Roomba Combo j7+ can pair with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control.
You can set a preference for mopping or vacuuming in each room. In real-time, the robot is updated to have only the latest features and becomes more intelligent every day.
Roomba Combo j7+ has a guaranteed pet official promise from developers that it avoids pet waste. Otherwise, you can return or replace your robot for free.
