The sale, in one paragraph
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days — the October sale most people call "fall Prime Day" — is live today (Oct 7), ending at 2:59 AM ET on Thursday. Robot vacuums are the deepest-discounted smart-home category this time. Target is running Circle Deal Days on the same two days and Walmart's event runs Oct 5–11. The prices below were checked against Amazon by deal trackers this week (PopSci, Techlicious); sale prices move fast, so always verify the live price before you buy.

The catches nobody puts in the headline
- Most of the best prices require a Prime membership. The Roomba 105X at $199.99 is a Prime-member price.
- It's 48 hours. When the clock runs out Wednesday night, the prices go back.
- Hot deals sell out. Discounts rotate and stock is limited.
- "Was" prices are list prices. $469.99 → $199.99 is real money off, but treat the strikethrough as marketing, not history.
How to actually compare robot vacuums on sale
- Self-emptying dock or not — this is the single biggest convenience jump. A dock that holds weeks of debris means you touch the bin once a month or less.
- LiDAR mapping vs. bump navigation — LiDAR maps your home and cleans in efficient rows; random-navigation models miss spots and get stuck more.
- Vacuum-only vs. vacuum + mop — combos mop hard floors on the same run; check whether the mop lifts or avoids carpet.
- Support and returns — a deal is only a deal if the seller is reachable when something breaks.

FAQ
When do Prime Big Deal Days 2026 end?
The sale runs October 6–7, 2026, ending at 2:59 AM ET on Thursday, October 8.
Do I need a Prime membership for the robot vacuum deals?
For the best prices, yes — deals like the Roomba 105X at $199.99 are Prime-member prices. Walmart's competing event (Oct 5–11) doesn't require a membership.
Are these the lowest robot-vacuum prices of the year?
Some are — deal trackers report the Roomba 105X at $199.99 matches its lowest 2026 price. Black Friday is still ahead, so if you're not in a hurry, more cuts usually land in late November.
What should I look for in a robot vacuum deal?
Self-emptying dock, LiDAR mapping, and a vacuum+mop combo if you have hard floors — in that order. Those three decide how much of the cleaning is actually hands-free.
Does Aevex match Prime Day prices?
We don't do 48-hour flash pricing. Our prices are set to be competitive every day of the year — no Prime membership, no countdown timer, plus WELCOME10 for 10% off.
