iRobot’s mop-equipped Roomba Combo j7 Plus is nearly matching its best price to date

Cleaning up after holiday parties can be a real pain, but a robot vacuum like the iRobot Roomba Combo j7 Plus can speed up process. And thankfully right now it’s just $669 ($331 off) at Wellbots, which is just $20 shy of its Black Friday all-time low price. If you want to gift the robot vacuum / mop hybrid, you can get it by Christmas when you buy it for $30 more at Amazon and Best Buy.

Everything about the Roomba Combo j7 Plus is designed to make cleaning easier. Like our favorite Roomba, the newer Roomba Combo j9 Plus, it comes with its own auto-emptying docking station and a retractable mop that lifts itself up over the vacuum to keep carpets dry. It also has features like AI obstacle avoidance, allowing it navigate around shoes, gifts, and other clutter left on the floor, and dual rubber roller brushes that does a great job of sucking up dirt from carpets. And if you run into trouble with it, The Verge’s smart home reviewer says that Roombas have “a history of being easy to repair,” unlike pricier rivals like Dreame X40 or Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra that may mop better.

Unlike the Combo j9 Plus, though, the last-gen Combo j7 Plus can’t refill its own mop tank. It also doesn’t come with iRobot’s Dirt Detective system, which lets it prioritize and really hone in on particularly messy areas. That said, given the Combo j7 Plus is currently about half the price of the Combo j9 Plus, we think those are fair-trade offs.

More deals we think we are worth a look

• The Loop Experience 2 earplugs are on sale starting at $27.95 ($7 off) at Amazon, which is their all-time low price. The earplugs do a great job of cutting down loud noise, which is why we highlighted them this year in our budget-friendly holiday gift guide. They reduce noise by 17 decibels so you can still hear your surroundings but at a safer volume. The earplugs offer a secure universal fit, too, making them a great gift for frequent concertgoers or anybody else yearning for some peace and quiet.
• If you’re looking for a good video doorbell to keep an eye on porch pirates, the Aqara G4 Video Doorbell is down to its best price of $89.99 ($40 off) at Best Buy. It’s one of our favorites, party because it’s the only battery-powered video doorbell compatible with Apple Home that also works with HomeKit Secure Video. Yet the 1080p doorbell also has other things going for it, including 24/7 local video recording, facial recognition, and smart alerts for people, packages, animals, and vehicles.
• The Beats Solo 4 have returned to their all-time low price of $99.99 (about $100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. It’s a shame they lack noise cancellation, but the headphones still offer good value with bass-rich sound as well as features like spatial audio and lossless playback over USB-C (or 3.5mm). They also offer native support for both iOS and Android, making them a good buy if you want some platform flexibility. Read our review.
