What you need to know for Black Friday
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday is regarded as the start of the Christmas shopping season in the United States, and it falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year, Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 23rd, and Black Friday is the following day, Friday, November 24th.
Many companies offer Black Friday deals that start at 12:01 a.m. and then end at midnight, but companies have been increasingly extending their sales, too. Many companies now offer Black Friday deals all weekend, so you can access these savings through Sunday, November 26th. Some companies are also offering early Black Friday deals in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, so you have more time to compare your options and shop.
What deals should I expect on Roombas?
You can find deals ranging from 13% to 50% off many Roomba models. Some retailers are offering as much as $400 off of the premium Roomba models, like the Roomba s9+, bringing prices down from around $1,000 to approximately $500 to $600.
What kind of Roomba deals did they have last year?

How to choose the best Roomba for you
iRobot has created a whole line of Roombas. At the most basic, the Roomba offers automated vacuuming with features like stair avoidance, so you can let it clean while you focus on other tasks. Some models, like the Roomba i3, offer increased suction power and the ability to recharge and resume cleaning, while models like the Roomba Combo j9+ combine vacuuming and mopping capabilities.
Before you start shopping Black Friday electronic deals, determine which one or two Roomba models would be the best. Consider factors like the size of the house, the types of floors that will need to be cleaned, and any challenging obstacles the Roomba will need to navigate. Your budget will also impact your decision, but with the right Black Friday deal, you may be able to afford a Roomba that would otherwise be outside of your budget.
