It happened again: Your kid (or dog, who may as well be your child) just tracked in you-don’t-even-know-what from the backyard. Grass? Dirt? You’d rather not know — it's time to drag out the vacuum for the second time today. You deserve a hand.

Why not grab one of those robot vacuums you’ve been seeing all over social media and have it clean up that mess while you do literally anything else? You can get an open-box model of the iRobot Roomba E5 for $159.99 (reg. $199.99) and save 20% while supplies last.

Open box? What’s that?

It’s a hack that saves you cash on a new robot vacuum. Specifically, they’re customer returns. Picture this: Someone bought this vacuum, opened the box, it wasn’t what they expected, and they returned it. Stores often don’t sell items with tampered packaging, so you get a new item at a huge discount, even though nobody’s used it. Cool, right?

Let’s talk features

The next time your kids or pet make a mess, imagine kicking back and saying, “Alexa, have Roomba vacuum the kitchen.” This robot can do just that. You can also schedule regular cleanings using the iRobot Home app. No more back-breaking cleanings for you.

Your floor’s dirt, dust, pet hair, and questionable residue are no match for the iRobot Roomba E5. It has rubber brushes, an edge-sweeping brush, and powerful suction to clean carpets, hardwood floors, and tile — so you don’t have to.

A common concern with robot vacuums is that they’ll get stuck under furniture or fall down the stairs and injure themselves, but this model has sensors to avoid casualties. It also runs up to 90 minutes before automatically docking and recharging itself.
