Black Friday is still a while off on 24 November, with Cyber Monday just after on 27 November, but there’s no harm in being prepared, especially since deals will most likely start much earlier and run for the full month of November. As with so much tech, you tend to get what you pay for. We’d recommend avoiding the very cheapest, basic models that probably won’t live up to your expectations. Instead, use these deals to buy a better model than you might otherwise have done – you’ll thank us later.  More advanced models can map out your home and more efficiently clean it, whereas cheaper ones fulfill the stereotype of basic bots bumping into everything. More importantly, they often lack the suction power necessary to remove dirt from carpets and rugs.  Features such as self-charging mean there’s no worry of running out of power, and many robots can also tackle thresholds to move between rooms. Some can even recognise and avoid obstacles likes shoes and books. None can traverse staircases, though, so you’ll have to give them a helping hand if you want multiple levels cleaned – or go all out and buy more than one.If you’d like help choosing, have a look at our round-up of the best robot vacuum cleaners we’ve reviewed, to find out which one is right for you. Otherwise, read on for the best deals we saw last Black Friday. US deals are first and UK deals follow.
