Black Friday week has begun, which means it’s time to take advantage of the best prices for the season’s hottest gadgets, household appliances, toys, clothing and other gifts.
Of course, robot vacuum cleaners may not be the sexiest gift—at least, compared to watches, early Black Friday Apple AirPods, Samsung earbuds, gaming headsets, and more flat-screen TVs—but household necessities are definitely the most important large wish list. After all, compared to traditional vacuum cleaners, this small but powerful device makes vacuuming and (even mopping) easier, and it takes a short time to complete the work with almost zero labor.
You can now find deals on robotic vacuum cleaners at multiple retailers, including Samsung, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Amazon. However, CBS Essentials does not filter all websites, but aggregates all the best prices of various highly rated brands and models.
