The iRobot Roomba E5 self-charging robot vacuum has matched its low price of $279

The iRobot Roomba E5 5150 robot vacuum cleaner is down to $279 on Amazon. That matches the lowest price ever on this robot vacuum, a price we’ve only seen once during the Black Friday shopping season. It has been selling for around $330 since last September when it dropped from $400. You can find this price matched at a couple of other retailers like Best Buy and Target, and it regularly sells as high as $375 at those stores.

The Roomba E5 has 5x the air power of the Roomba 600 series, which is another popular lineup from iRobot. The robot vacuum is great for homes with pets because it has a premium three-stage cleaning system. This system ensures the E5 can clean up dirt and dust but also pet hair and the allergens produced by cats and dogs and other animals. The filter can trap 99% of allergens. The robot vacuum’s dustbin is washable so you can easily clean out the debris it picks up without it being irritating to you.

The rubber brushes are designed to go over multiple surfaces so it can adjust to stay in constant contact. Let it loose on carpet and hard floors and more and it will adapt accordingly. The sensors underneath the robot help it navigate these changes. Plus it can find its way around objects and under furniture.

The battery on the E5 can run for 90 minutes continuously. It’s also smart enough to return to its charging station when it runs low so it can top off and then continue its mission.

You can control the robot vacuum from your phone using the iRobot app. You can also issue voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant if you connect the robot to your Wi-Fi network. Users give the E5 4.3 stars out of 5 based on 702 reviews.
