The cheapest Roomba that can avoid phone chargers is on sale for its lowest price ever
SAVE 53%: As of Feb. 18, the Roomba Combo j5 is on sale for $249 at Amazon. That’s a $280.99 discount from its original $529.99.
If you’re on a tight budget or live in a tight space, one of the main calls to you’ll have to make during robot vacuum shopping is whether you care about automatic emptying. If you’re deciding to opt out, look no further than today’s deal on a multitalented Roomba.
As of Feb. 18, the Roomba Combo j5 is on sale for $249, down from $529.99, at Amazon. That’s 53% off, and the cheapest it’s ever been.
The Roomba Combo j5 is the cheapest Roomba with small obstacle avoidance technology: a camera system that can scope out and avoid items like cords and pet waste that more basic botvacs can’t even see (and will therefore run over). With that agility, plus the ability to remember a map of your home and clean specific rooms on command, there should be few opportunities for the Roomba Combo j5 to get lost and piss you off — a frequent experience you’d typically have to settle for when eyeing a robot vacuum in this price range.
For example, the Combo j5’s record-low $249 sale price is the regular asking price for the newest base tier Roomba, the Roomba Q0120 — which doesn’t mop, can’t map your home or clean specific rooms, and will definitely eat your phone charger. That model is currently on sale for $209.95, but spending an extra $40-ish for the smarts of the Roomba Combo j5 is almost comically worth it.

In terms of its actual cleaning performance, the Roomba Combo j5+ was pretty OK during the few months that I tested it in my apartment. Its four-stage suction system couldn’t exactly deep clean my rugs covered in cat hair, but it was definitely enough to keep up with daily crumbs and kitty litter.
It’s the same story with mopping: There’s not much actual scrubbing going on with this mopping pad, but it’s certainly nice to have on hand for spills in the kitchen or near the front door. The fact that mopping a specific room or spot on command is reason enough to make it the best mopping Roomba value in my eyes. Just remember to set a No Mop zone around your rugs, and click the water tank on and off depending on whether you need wet or dry cleaning that time.

Gaming hardware tends to come with outrageous price tags, especially curved ultrawide gaming monitors. But every once in awhile, we come across a deal that stops us in our tracks. The Alienware AW3425DWN monitor is that deal.
As of July 28, you can get the Alienware 34-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor (AW3425DWM) for only $299.99 at Amazon. While it originally retailed for $399.99 (which is still a stellar price), the monitor recently got a permanent price drop to $349.99. Now it’s even cheaper with an extra $50 discount.
If you’re wondering why the monitor is so cheap, there are a few main factors. One, it’s a VA panel, which can often have issues with smearing and motion handling, depending on the game. On the other hand, it has deeper blacks and better contrast than an IPS panel and you don’t have to worry about burn-in as you do with an OLED panel. For what it’s worth, users on Reddit have mostly excellent things to say about the AW3425DWM.
The 1500R curved panel wraps the game around you and is pretty steep, which may take a bit of getting used to. You’ll be fully immersed in any game or world you choose. As Redditors have pointed out, it also serves as a great all-rounder for productivity and web browsing as well as gaming.

The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate aren’t the highest around, but they should serve most gamers just fine. Plus, for the price, it’s honestly hard to complain. Other perks include AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA Adaptive Sync Technology, VESA DisplayHDR 400, WQHD resolution, plenty of ports, and a small footprint design with an adjustable base. Any way you slice it, it’s hard to believe it’s under $300.
