One notable trend at CES earlier this year was the quirky robot vacuum.It seemed every third booth had a new model that could climb stairs, pick up socks, serve drinks and, oh yeah, suck up dirt from your floor.Now that Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is here, we’re seeing lots of discounts — not on those wacky prototypes, but on robo vacs that easy and automatically keep your floors clean.
Engadget has two guides to these handy home gadgets, based on years of testing and reviewing products from brands like iRobot, Shark, Dyson, Eufy and more.Here are the best deals on robot vacuums and cordless stick vacs we could find for the Big Spring Sale.The best Amazon Spring Sale robot vacuum dealsSharkShark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum $300$438Save $138This is a version of one of our top picks in our best robot vacuums guide.Shark makes excellent robovacs with strong suction power and convenient bagless, self-emptying bases.

It mops and vacuums, quickly making a map of your home on its first run.The app easily lets you program where your hard and carpeted surfaces are, as well as set schedules.The base empties the dry debris and dirty water, then refills it with new water.
The difference between this model and the Pro version is that this one doesn’t clean the mop with each use, so you may need to manually perform that task more often — but the price difference may make up for that lack.iRobot Roomba Combo Vac and Mop for $150 (45 percent off): This "essential" Roomba is relatively no-frills, but it has the added benefit of being a mopping robot in addition to a vacuum.It includes a washable mopping pad and a water reservoir so you can clean hard floors, and it will autonomously vacuum just like all of iRobot's other basic robovacs.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 we found the robot performance to be better than the stick vac suction, it’s still impressive and convenient for an all-in-one model.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 we tried.It’s a pick in our 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 your phone, you’ll use the included remote.The best cordless vacuum dealsTineco Pure ONE S11 cordless vacuum for $200 ($100 off with coupon): Click the coupon to get $100 off our top pick for a budget stick vac.We like that it automatically adjusts suction depending on what it's picking up and is relatively lightweight when you’re pushing it around your floors.The bin is on the small side and the battery life isn’t as good as on other models, but it’s an easy-to-use, no-frills way to clean floors.Dyson V15s Detect Submarine for $800 ($150 off): This Dyson cordless stick vacuum and mop is a top pick in our best cordless vacuums guide thanks to its sleek design and included mop attachment that easily swap in so you can clean tile, hardwood and other flooring with liquid solution.
