The Roomba Max 715 Vac is $399.99 in iRobot's early Black Friday sale, $300 below the $699.99 iRobot was charging for it on October 28. It is one of two genuine cuts in a sale iRobot bills as its "lowest prices of the season". The two cheapest Roombas in the same store have sold for less before.
Five robots are marked down on iRobot's own store as of November 8, from $279.99 to $699.99, with no end date posted. With Black Friday falling on November 27, the real question is which of these prices will still look good in three weeks.
Roomba early Black Friday prices compared with earlier iRobot prices
The fairest test of a sale price is what the same store charged a few weeks or months earlier. Here is each discounted Roomba against an earlier price on iRobot's own product page.
| Roomba model | iRobot price (Nov 8) | List price | Earlier iRobot price | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max 775 Combo + AutoWash dock | $699.99 | $999.99 | $799.99 (Oct 23) | Roller mop with heated spot mopping |
| Max 715 Vac + AutoEmpty dock | $399.99 | $699.99 | $699.99 (Oct 28) | Vacuum only, self-empties for up to 90 days |
| Plus 515 Combo + AutoWash dock | $429.99 | $699.99 | $599.99 (Oct 5) | Spinning mop pads washed and dried in the dock |
| 105 Combo + AutoEmpty dock | $299.99 | $469.99 | $269.99 (Aug 30) | Entry vacuum and mop, self-empties for up to 75 days |
| 105 Vac + AutoEmpty dock | $279.99 | $449.99 | $249.99 (Nov 22, 2025) | Entry vacuum, self-empties for up to 75 days |
Why the Roomba Max 715 at $399.99 is the strongest deal
The Max 715 is a vacuum-only robot, which suits homes that are mostly carpet or simply do not need mopping. It is rated at four times the power-lifting suction of an earlier model, with dual rubber brushes designed to resist tangling from pet hair.
Its dock empties the bin into sealed, odor-control bags for up to 90 days, so you can mostly forget about it. It maps rooms with ClearView Pro LiDAR and uses a camera system called PrecisionVision to steer around obstacles.
The $300 cut is measured against a price the robot actually carried in late October, and it sits $200 below its September sale price of $599.99. Amazon's Roomba Max 715 Pet listing, sold and shipped by Amazon, matches it at $399.99, so Amazon offers no better price.
Roomba Max 775 Combo or Plus 515 Combo: which mopping robot to buy
The Roomba Max 775 Combo drops to $699.99 from $999.99. That list price was real at launch in July, but the robot was already $799.99 by October 23. Against recent pricing, the fresh saving is $100.
The extra money buys a self-cleaning roller mop with heated spot mopping for dried-on spills, plus a cover that lifts the mop off rugs. Its AutoWash dock empties debris for up to three months and washes and dries the roller. Its camera is trained to spot pet waste as well as cords.
The Roomba Plus 515 Combo is $429.99, $270 under a $699.99 list price it really sold at in July and August. That is also $170 under its October 5 price. It mops with two spinning pads that the dock hot-washes at 167°F and dries at 113°F, and it is rated for up to 295 minutes covering 2,000 square feet.
Buy the Plus 515 if your floors are mostly hard surfaces and the budget is firm. Pick the Max 775 for a larger home with pets and sticky kitchen messes, where the roller mop and pet-waste detection earn the $270 gap.
Why the cheapest Roombas cost more than they did before
The Roomba 105 Combo shows $299.99 on iRobot's store with $469.99 struck through. Yet the same store sold it for $269.99 in February and again at the end of August. The "sale" price is $30 higher than that.
Amazon is cheaper still: its Roomba 105 Combo with AutoEmpty dock is $269.00, sold and shipped by Amazon, which is $30.99 under iRobot. If you want the 105 Combo, that is the listing to buy.
The Roomba 105 Vac tells a similar story. It is $279.99 against a $449.99 list price, but it cost $249.99 on November 22, 2025, the week before last year's Black Friday. In August 2025 and February 2026 it was $299.99. The $170 savings badges on both 105 models are measured against list prices the store has not been charging.
Should you buy a Roomba now or wait for Black Friday
For the Max 715 and Plus 515, buying now makes sense, because both are far below what they cost a few weeks ago. The Max 775 Combo is a fair price for a flagship mopping robot, though a $100 move from its October level leaves room for another cut.
For either Roomba 105, patience is the better play. Last year the 105 Vac hit $249.99 before Black Friday, and the Combo is already cheaper at Amazon. If none of these fit, Shark's robot vacuum lineup is the obvious alternative to compare.
If the company's future worries you, app functionality and product support were promised to continue when iRobot filed for Chapter 11 protection in December 2025. Accessories are 25% off with the code SAVE25. Prices are as of November 8 and can change at any time.
