Amazon’s Spring Sale has finally reached its last day, and like last year, the deals are more focused on home, cleaning, and fashion discounts rather than tech and gadgets. However, when it comes to robot vacuums, which combine home cleaning and hi-tech, Engadget has you covered. The site has tested numerous automatic floor cleaners and compiled the results into two guides: one for budget models and another for the best of the best. Additionally, Engadget has tried out a few cordless vacs, which make good spot-cleaners to supplement automated cleaning. Currently, several of their picks and related models are on sale, and they have rounded up the best deals on vacuums from Amazon’s latest sale.
The best Amazon Spring Sale robot vacuum deals
Shark’s Matrix Plus robovac for $400 ($350 off): Engadget has been consistently impressed with Shark vacuums, but they’re not cheap. This machine can mop in addition to vacuum and is nearly half price at 47 percent off.
Anker Eufy Robot Vacuum 11S MAX for $140 (44 percent off): The “S” in the model name stands for “slim,” and it was one of the more low-profile machines Engadget tried. It’s a pick in their guide to budget robot vacuums and has a long battery life and good suction power for its price. The main drawback is the lack of Wi-Fi, so instead of programming it with a phone, the included remote will be used.
Anker Eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20 for $400 ($200 off): If you can’t decide between a robot vacuum or a lightweight stick vac, you don’t have to. The new Eufy E20 combines a robo vac, cordless upright, and handheld vacuum in one machine. Plus, the automatically emptying base holds a lot of debris for its size. While Engadget found the robot performance to be better than the stick vac suction, it’s still impressive and convenient for an all-in-one model.
The best cordless vacuum deals
Levoit Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (LVAC-200) for $150 ($50 off): The lowest price Engadget has tracked on this stick vac is $130, but this matches the lowest price they’ve seen this year. It’s their runner-up budget pick for a stick vac in their guide. It doesn’t have a storage base, and the bin is smallish, but it’s lightweight and super affordable. It also disassembles easily for storage, making its lack of base less of a deal-breaker.
Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 for $349 ($110 off): This vac earned an honorable mention in Engadget’s tests. The self-emptying base is a big selling point. They also liked the auto-adjusting suction and single-button start feature. The fact that it doesn’t require proprietary bags helps keep down the long-term cost, too.
