Best home deal

The iRobot Roomba i1+ has already hit its Black Friday pricing, dropping it down to $288 (instead of $529.99). That makes it the cheapest self-emptying Roomba by a wide margin. The i1+, according to Mashable’s robot vacuum expert Leah Stodart, is « essentially the i3+ in a bronze shell over the i3’s gray ». In other words, they’re the same model in disguise — one is only sold at Walmart, while the other is sold at Amazon and iRobot. At $288, though, the i1+ is significantly cheaper than its identical counterpart at Amazon (currently $443). While it may not have built-in smart home mapping or zone cleaning, its DirtDetect technology can focus on particularly dirty areas. The app may also suggest cleaning schedules based on previous cleanings.

Best Amazon device deal

Oddly enough, this Amazon device deal isn’t even from Amazon itself — rather, it’s from Best Buy. At just $599.99, the 75-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni Series 4K UHD Smart TV is at its lowest price to date. Plus, it’s $450 cheaper than the currently listed price at Amazon and less than its 65-inch counterpart at both retailers. The Omni Series offers Amazon’s first hands-free smart TV experience, thanks to Alexa. You’ll enjoy 75 inches of brilliant 4K Ultra HD entertainment at up to 60fps, all with an easy-to-navigate Fire TV layout.
