The Roomba j9+ robot vacuum is back to its Black Friday price, and it’s a must-buy

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

The Roomba j9+ from iRobot is back down to its best-ever price at Amazon right now, so if you’re looking for a smart buddy to help you clean in 2024 this is the best time to buy one since Black Friday.

Instead of its usual $899 price the Roomba j9+ self-emptying robot vacuum is down to $599 at Amazon – saving you $300, or a third off. As we’ve said already this is the cheapest this vacuum has ever been, and that’s especially good when you consider it only launched a couple of months ago.

If you don’t just want a self-emptying vacuum but one with a mop too then the Roomba Combo j9+ is $999 instead of $1,399 at Amazon. This $400 saving is also the biggest discount we’ve seen since the same deal appeared during Black Friday.

iRobot Roomba j9+: was $899 now $599 at Amazon
This robot vacuum may have only launched a couple of months ago, but it's currently a third off at Amazon (its lowest-ever price) and it's a must-buy. The self-emptying dock is a super helpful upgrade, and while this model doesn't have a mop it's still a very handy cleaning gadget.View Deal

iRobot Roomba Combo j9+: was $1,399 now $999 at Amazon
The Combo j9+ is an excellent Roomba with impressive cleaning abilities, dirt detection so it can prioritize your dirtiest rooms, and smart scrub so that its mop can tackle hardy stains. Best of all, it has a self-emptying dock so that it can empty itself, and the dock can store up to 60 days' worth of debris and 30 days' worth of clean liquid.View Deal

We’ve been testing the Roomba Combo j9+ from iRobot (look out for our review in the new year) and we’ve been thoroughly impressed by its cleaning abilities.

While it’s not a complete replacement for a more traditional vacuum – it’s not perfect at getting dirt from in corners, and it can't clean upholstery or stairs – it still does an excellent job of picking up or mopping up the vast majority of dirt. The dock is a really handy tool too as it only needs to be emptied or topped up every 60 and 30 days respectively. This is a lot less frequent than the robot vacuum on its own would need to be emptied.

It’s mapping and obstruction detection is also pretty solid. It can cleverly tell the difference between objects it should go around and similarly sized dirt piles it needs to pick up, it can detect which rooms typically get messiest and tidy them first, and it can scrub at tough stains to keep your hard floors looking cleaner than regular robot mops.

We think it’s a nifty gadget, and at this price, it’s a must-buy.

AI tools are making social engineering attacks even more convincing, and I fear that this is only the beginning

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit were brought crashing into the 21st century in December 2024 with their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . The film challenges our growing dependence on smart technology in the form of a robotic garden gnome, built by Wallace to support his gardening business, which is then hacked by the Kubrick-esque Feathers McGraw for his own nefarious purposes. One of the more interesting but less commented on parts of the film shows Gromit cautiously entering his house and being greeted by what he thinks is Wallace’s reassuring voice, only to be confronted with Feathers and the robotic gnome. Technology’s ability to mimic linguistic patterns, to clone a person’s voice and understand and respond to questions has developed dramatically in the last few years. This has not gone unnoticed by the world’s criminals and scammers, with the result that social engineering attacks are not only on the rise but are more sophisticated a...
