The best Black Friday Roborock deals 2024: Early sales available now
Roborock introduced me to the wondrous world of robot vacuums almost six years ago when few companies offered 2-in-1 robot vacuum mops. I’d just had my second baby and was looking for a way to check some chores off my list without breaking my back or taking away my already-divided attention from my very little ones. So I spent a couple hundred dollars on a Roborock E2 during a Black Friday sale.
Since then, I’ve had another kid, moved states, lived in several houses, gotten a dog, and even became a robot vacuum tester — all with that Roborock in tow. But also since then, robot vacuum and mop combinations have boomed, taking what started as a dripping microfiber pad dragged along your floors behind the vacuum and transforming into self-washing rotating mop pads, self-washing mop rollers, and self-emptying robots.

The Roborock Flexi Lite is a great wet/dry cordless vacuum and mop that can tackle both wet and dry messes. It may sound too good to be true, but I assure you it’s real. Thanks to a self-propelled system, the Flexi Lite is easy to push around your floors and can pick up spilled milk, crumbs, pet hair, juice, and anything else that fits its nozzle.
Review: Forget Dyson: I tested Roborock’s wet-dry hand vacuum and it left my floors spotless
- Current price: $1,400
- Original price: $1,600
One of the best two-in-one machines on the market, the Roborock S8 Max Ultra is now $1,400. It’s a pretty penny, but the simplicity and efficiency make this robot worth the money. You could fill the clean water tank, empty the dirty water tank, and set a schedule to tackle your home without having to do anything for a couple of days. Even then, all I had to do was refill and empty the tanks. Having freshly vacuumed and mopped floors daily is a big win.
FAQs
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a big shopping event that happens each year on the day after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday is on Nov. 29.
Since Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas. This makes Black Friday a great chance to finish checking off your holiday shopping list.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday happens on the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday. This year, Cyber Monday is on Dec. 2.
Are Roborock deals really better on Black Friday?
Robot vacuums are cheaper during big shopping events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Amazon Prime Day. The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.
What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Though there are now many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.
How did we choose these Black Friday deals?
As a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I’ve become familiar with these devices’ unique features and tested various models in every price range. This experience has made me realize that the robot vacuum market is saturated with competition. It also helps me discern which robot vacuums are worth their retail price and when a discount is a good deal.
I check robot vacuum deals often, always choosing the ones that deliver the most features for the least money. Using our expertise and different tools to track deals, we can determine when a deal is worth it and ensure we only cover those. This list of deals will be updated as new deals appear and others sell out.
Where can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?
While retailers hold store-specific shopping events throughout the year, like Amazon with Prime Day, you can expect Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to appear everywhere. This includes your local businesses and big box stores. Black Friday is a huge shopping event, both in-person and online, with stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, Costco, and more offering eye-popping discounts on different products.
