This Roomba with an auto-empty dock is down to a record-low price

The Roomba 105 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock has been discounted to $280 as part of an extended Father's Day sale. This is a record-low price, as it usually costs $450. Math tells me that's a cool $170 off.

As the name suggests, this lil robovac will automatically head to the included debris dock to empty its contents. It'll do this after every cleaning session and the company says the canister is large enough to go 75 days before requiring manual disposal. However, results will likely vary on that front. I'm talking to you, pet owners.

This is a solid effort by Roomba, which is a company that appeared numerous times in our list of the best robot vacuums. The suction power is on point and the dock includes a filtration bag that traps allergens. It ships with a multi-surface bristle brush and an edge-sweeping brush. Of course, it also provides access to the company's LiDAR software for navigation. It can even clean in the dark.

There's one downside. This is a fantastic vacuum, but it is just a vacuum. The Roomba 105 is not a hybrid unit, so there's no mopping functionality. For that, you'll have to spring for a pricier model.
