A robot vacuum isn't essential, but it does make cleaning your home a lot easier. You just set it and forget it. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo cleans and mops, and can even empty out its dustbin while it goes back to charge. The best part: this $470 robot vacuum is now 43% off, dropping it down to $269 for a very limited time. This is close to the lowest price ever, so now is a great time to pick one up.

This one is a winner

Robot vacuums have improved quite a bit over time, becoming more and more independent. The Roomba 105 Combo is a great example. It can vacuum your hard wood floors, carpet, high pile carpet and seamlessly transition to mopping your tile and wood floors.

Once it's done with all its cleaning, it can go back to its charging base, which can also collect any trash that it's collected. Even if you're gone for a month, this device will be able to store everything that it's picking up, with iRobot sharing capacity at 75 days.

You get the usual sensors that will prevent the robot from bumping into any furniture, and these same sensors can create a digital map of your room for more accurate cleaning. And you can control the vacuum using the app, your voice, or its physical buttons.

Every three to six months, you just need to check on the essentials to make sure the robot is clean. This will keep it working at its peak. If cleaning takes too much of your time, the Roomba 105 Combo is going to be a great choice as a helper.
