Deal Details
*****Update: Now approx $130 with warehouse 20% coupon auto-applied at checkout​

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...;amp;psc=1
472 available. This many available for sale usually means a shipment was damaged. So good chance you will get a new one with damaged box or repackaged.

I ordered 2 a few months ago at $196. One arrived in original box. One was repackaged. But appeared new.

Stated condition is: Used Acceptable.

This is $110 regularly (once a month or so) from Warehouse Deals. I would hold off.

Also Protip for others looking at this deal when you go to checkout, you know you have the deal if the seller is listed as Sold by:Amazon.com Services LLC

I've never seen a deal for $110 posted from the seller Amazon warehouse. Or any seller really.

Didn't see it in my searches.

Can you point to one?

It happens when they offer a percentage off coupon anywhere from 15 to 30 percent off and you stack it with your deal

You will be happier if you go for an I3 (no Automatic Dirt Disposal Disposal if you are sensitive to dust) when those deals come back

Search Slickdeals. Last 20% off from warehouse brought this to $144. This was in May. There is a post about it: https://slickdeals.net/f/14967422-irobot-roomba-980-981-robot-vacuum-works-with-alexa-ideal-for-pet-hair-carpets-hard-floors-power-boost-technology-black-144-amazon-warehouse?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

The deal I posted today is $140 without coupon. And coupons for warehouse are not monthly. Few times per year. Not monthly.

If you're gonna post about this deal please use real data/info.

Please link the info…. Or move on….

You are doing the wrong search. Look for percentage off Warehouse deals (way to lazy too link.) The coupon will apply, even though this is really sold be Amazon

Ok. You are aware the coupons from Amazon's warehouse do not apply to all items in the warehouse, right?

Certain items….at certain times….

i'm too lazy to continue the conversation. Like I said before… link a better deal.

And, finally, I will conclude by saying this is not sold by Amazon.

It is sold by Amazon warehouse. Everyone on this forum understands how Amazon warehouse is related to Amazon. But it is in fact a different seller.

No Amazon warehouse coupon will work for an item sold by Amazon.

The Amazon warehouse coupons are only applicable to items sold by Amazon warehouse.

/good grief.

In the past it did for this deal. Prime day was 30% off, 25% seems to come up quarterly and 35%YMMV, likely targeted to Amazon's best customers.

This was an outstanding vacuum in its days. Discontinued in 2018. You will be able to easily get parts, but no firmware updates. It is also afraid of the Dark so be sure and give it a light source. Also no keep out zones.

Based on online reviews it is still better than newer lower end models. Thanks OP -- I ordered yesterday for $160 and now ordered another for $140 since they would not do a price adjustment and suggested I return the first one. I had been looking for a while and had used the 25% Warehouse deal on 2 or 3 items last month, and it did not work for any of the Roombas at the time. The $140 is the lowest I have seen in 4-5 months of tracking. It is indeed possible that there was a confluence of price and coupon at some time, but in absolute terms this is a good price.

Just got mine. Looks completely brand new, just without the box. Seems like a great deal. I thought it was supposed to come with a virtual wall barrier too… mine didn't have it
