The only thing that scares me more than cleaning is robots, so I’m gonna sit this one out. But if you’re not afraid of robots or refurbished technology products, then $130 for an iRobot Roomba 530, charging station, and virtual wall unit is a wheel of a deal.

Features!

  • Efficiently vacuums dirt, debris, pet hair, dust, allergens and more from carpets and hard floors
  • Counter rotating Bristle Brush and Beater Brush work together like a dustpan and broom
  • Sturdy Bristle Brush digs deep into carpet fibers to grab dirt, debris, pet hair and more
  • Powerful vacuum sucks large and small debris into the large, bag-less bin
  • Fine filter traps dust, pollen and tiny particulate inside the bin
  • Cleans the whole floor, under and around furniture, into corners and along wall edges
  • Detects dirtier areas and spends more time cleaning them
  • Spot Clean provides quick clean-up of spills and concentrated messes
  • Automatically senses and avoids stairs and other drop-offs
  • Simple operation—just press the Clean button and Roomba does the rest
  • Automatically returns to its self-charging Home Base to dock and recharge between cleanings
  • Faster counter-rotating brushes with improved design pick up more hair and debris and are easier to remove and clean
  • Improved filter captures more dust and allergens while a larger bin holds more debris
  • Improved anti-tangle technology keeps Roomba from getting stuck on cords, carpet fringe and tassels
  • Improved sidebrush makes Roomba even more efficient at cleaning edges and corners

Although this is a refurbished product, you do get a 90-day warranty directly from iRobot.

CrunchDeals: Roomba 535 for $150

If you’re a stickler for clean floors (note: I am not) but you can’t afford a live-in maid to clean them every day (note: I can not) and you’re not afraid of robots (note: I am, deathly) then perhaps you need a Roomba.

Woot.com has the iRobot Roomba 535 for $149.99 with $5 shipping. That, my friends, is an excellent deal as this unit goes for $250 and up just about everywhere else. This is a new unit that Woot’s selling, too, not a refurb.

The 535 comes with a recharging station so it’ll clean the floor and then find its way back to said station when it’s all done. It also comes with a “Virtual Wall Lighthouse” which is a little base unit you put on the floor next to a doorway to keep the Roomba in a certain room while blocking off other areas of your house.
