World News – AU – Engadget Readers Get $ 200 Off Roomba’s i7 Vacuum At Wellbots

Roomba’s i7 series features some of the most advanced robo-vacs you can get, but they come at high prices. For Black Friday, however, Engadget readers can save $ 200 on both robotic vacuums in line. The Roomba i7 drops to $ 599 and the Roomba i7 drops to $ 399 when you use code ENGADGET200 at checkout. We saw these vacuums go down to $ 699 respectively. It’s down $ 499 but this is the best price for both we’ve seen. Because these devices continue to be expensive, Wellbots offers free shipping and the company doesn’t offer sales tax outside of New York.

We tested the i7 when it came out and gave it a score of 87. This model has some bells and whistles that aren’t standard in other Roombas. The largest model is the included Clean Base. This is just the name of iRobot for the garbage-like attachment that is located on the base of the i7 and into which the vacuum cleaner empties its container after each cleaning. This means that you don’t have to manually empty the container every time, but rather that you also have to look for the proprietary bags that the Clean Base needs. If you’re okay with this, the i7 can save you some time by only having to empty the Clean Base once every 30 jobs.

Engadgets Devindra Hardawar used the i7 much more often than other robotic vacuums. This was partly because the machine was quieter than other robotic vacuums, and it also untangled better from scattered rogue wires or cables in its cleaning path. It’s also a pretty powerful vacuum that cleans both carpeted and wooden floors well, and iRobot’s card technology is even better on this model than on previous devices.

Whether you go for the i7 or the standard i7 (which has the same features, just without the Clean Base), you are getting a great robot vacuum at a great retail price. Roombas are generally easy to set up and use. So this is a great option even for those who have never had a robotic vacuum cleaner before.
