Yes, you can get a Roomba for only $149 - but hurry, this deal won't last

The Amazon Big Spring Sale is a great time to save on some spring cleaning game changers, such as a robot vacuum and mop. And this iRobot deal is the best we've seen in the category so far. The iRobot Roomba Combo Essential hit its lowest price ever during this sale, going from $275 to only $149. This is an unprecedented offer for the entry-level Roomba robot vacuum and mop combination, even lower than it sold during Black Friday last year.

Why is the price so low? iRobot just launched a new line of entry-level Roombas, so it makes sense that the company is leveraging the Amazon Spring Sale to phase out older generations. This $149 Roomba is barely a year old, so you're not getting an older, obsolete model with this amazing offer.

The Essential line is iRobot's most affordable robot vacuum lineup. These devices feature top-of-the-line technology with simplified operation. While they don't have the flagship Roomba's dual rubber brushes for suction, they have an innovative v-shaped roller brush that prevents tangles and doesn't get stuck as easily as traditional brushes.

iRobot built on the Roomba 600 Series to give the new budget-friendly Essential vacuum 20 times more suction power and 25% better pickup on hard floors. The Roomba Combo Essential also features a 120-minute battery life and the ability to clean in neat rows for better efficiency.

While $160 doesn't buy you a fully autonomous, hands-free cleaning experience like you'd get when paying over $1,000, you still get iRobot technology and customization power in a budget-friendly package. The Roomba Combo Essential lets you customize suction and liquid settings, view Clean Map reports, and access iRobot OS automations.

The Combo Essential does vacuum and mop but requires user intervention to manually empty the dustbin, add water, and wash and dry the mop pad after each cleaning. For most, this is a small inconvenience for one of the market's most affordable yet valuable robot vacuums. 

The $149 deal is truly unbeatable for the Roomba Combo Essential, so if you have a lot of hard floors in your home and want to put away the mop and bucket, this is one way to get the most bang for your buck.
